5.0 out of 5 stars Most fascinating mix to come out in a LONG time, February 12, 2002
By Scott Woods (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
You're listening to it and you're wondering, "how the heck did he do it?"
How did producer/songwriter Vikter Duplaix (Erykah Badu, Eric Benet, King Britt and Jazzanova among others) put together a mix CD with such divergent sources (funk, hip-hop, ambient, techno, house) and make you still LIKE all of it? This is by far the funkiest offering to come out of the DJ Kicks line of producer-mixed CDs and hands down the best. Duplaix knows his music and how to move a crowd.

The music is wide-ranging but still somehow manages to sound completely cohesive, sonically and stylistically. That's no easy feat, as Duplaix bounces around the spectrum of his record crates to some pretty "out" sources (YOU try and name 4 bands off this record you knew before you heard it), and also makes them a little fresher here and there with the speed and pacing. The whole CD is like going to a really cool party without the smoke, and the fact that an acid jazz hit is followed by a house remix doesn't seem to stand out to you at all. Duplaix picked songs that BELONG together, and they're great songs. Weird, funky, and great showings all around (though I don't like the live Badu track that appears here: she sounds as if she's literally running in place while she sings).

A great buy for anyone with a taste of musical adventure. The guy's got more standout-good tracks than most people have total tracks on their album.

Standout tracks
-------------------
#2 Taurus "Together" (original)
#3 4hero "Hold It Down"
#5 Waiwan f/ Loretta Haywood "Fellin Me Feelin You"
#8 Vikter Duplaix "Sensuality"
#13 Hopper f/ Carina Andersson "Welcome to the World"
#17 Bahamadia "Philadelphia" (which doesn't actually feature Bahamadia on it)
#20 New Sector Movement "The Sun"

5.0 out of 5 stars Duplaix presents, May 4, 2002
By stay informed "Jerry" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
The selection of tracks on this CD excellent...Like another reviewer said, it is the best DJ Kicks CD I have....I wish Viktor didn't promote himself so much in between tracks..Like " You are listening to the sounds of Viktor Duplaix" several times in between tracks... But I still give it 5 stars. After listening to it for a few months, this is still one of the best complilation/dance cd I own.

5.0 out of 5 stars K7's Heavyweight Champion!?, April 15, 2003
By Gregory Gross (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I say this, as an owner of the K7 Smith and Mighty, DJ Cam, and Rockers Hi-Fi to mention a few, it was tough for me to admit that this mix may be the best. Vikter Duplaix cooks up a upbeat mix of the best of Hip-hop, House, R&B(east coast style), along with artist who continue to defy catagorization. Some of the artist will be familar to the listener; 4hero, waiwan, De La Soul, Bahamadia(though she doesn't rap herself, the vocal is still worth hearing), Erykah Badu. Then, as in other DJKicks he throughs in the obscure talent deserving of wider recognition, and these cuts add to the listening expierence in that they don't detract from it.
Vikter is currently heard on the new Jazzanova, and if you haven't heard it you should if only for the sake of hearing and artist who is well rounded. A trait seldom found in too many young and upcoming.
