Marques Wyatt, I never heard of him before until I listened to Sound Design Volume 1. I was impressed with that CD but not extremely. Then I discovered the release of this CD, For Those Who Like To Get Down. I have to admit that this is an excellent piece of work. Wow the first time I heared it, I was so surprised how "fresh" it sounded. If you like deephouse or just funky, soulful house, buy this cd. Check out more artists from OM records like Mark Grant, Kaskade, and off course Mark Farina.
Also very recommendable: Joey Negro and Kerri Chandler.

To get back to this cd.....I simply like all songs which are used in this mix. But I love track 2 Erro - Change for Me, so good it sounds. Furthermore tracks 3, 4, 9, and yes track 12 - Doctor Rockit, Cafe De Flore, lovely choice of instruments.

After reading the reviews on this CD, I went out and got it...actually, I did sample it in Borders, but passed it up for, what else--another lackluster chillout CD...if I had a dime for every one that I bought and didn't like, I would've had the money to buy this CD...at any rate, I'm digressing as usual. Wyatt's "For Those Who Like to Get Down" was the shiznit!! Perfect mixes, well selected songs and FUNKY!! Cuts 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10 and 13 are stand outs on this very impressive CD...but the groove is slightly thrown off by the infusion of a gospel song on cut 5 (Precious Lord). I see what Wyatt is going for, but with this song, it just doesn't work and becomes irritating after repeated listenings. Love the music, though. Nevertheless, that one track doesn't tarnish the concept and energy of the album, or disrupt the flow of it either. Marques Wyatt is a phenom and innovator in his own right in the oftentimes monotonous world of House music!

This review is from: For Those Who Like to Get Down (Audio CD)

This house compilation is a great blend of tracks in the jazz-like vibe of the Naked Music label releases that revitalized house music a couple years back for those of us who aren't lucky enough to be in big cities where it never went away, but got real boring. Wyatt gives us funky, chord-laden grooves over smoothed-out 4-to-the-floor rhythms throughout, seemingly taking criticisms of his other ventures into non-house territory to heart a little. The stuff on here smokes, moves a party with ease, and doesn't just turn into some trance-inducing, numb drone stuck in your frontal lobes. Great singing, great mixing and great melodies abound. The best compilation of house to hit my deck outside of a Naked Music compilation, and this one is actually better (read, more consistent with the quantity vs. quality ratio of the songs) than a couple of their later releases.

Standout tracks (though the whole CD REALLY smokes):
#2 Osunlade presents Erro "Change for Me"
#4 Demetrios Project "Feel Alive"
#13 Kerri Chandler feat. E-Man "Brooklyn (Where I Live)"
- this is just a fun track
#14 The Rurals "Rubbersong"

If you're into house at all, you need this. If you're just interested, this is a solid buy.
