Yoshiesque

Yoshiesque is a far more funky "regular" house mix compared to the later Global Underground mixes (which are also 5 star albums). Deep Dish show that they master dance of all genres as the mix gets tougher and murkier towards the end of both discs. This is an album that should be in the collection of any dance fan.

A landmark compilation for Deep Dish, raved about in the press, loved by the music buyers everywhere ... this was their BIG mix. Coming from their own label, Deep Dish had complete control of what they wanted their mix to be about and sound like. From the way the first disc opens, you know you're in for a bit of a special ride. The ominous spacey chords of Jark Prongo set against the accapella of Dancing In Outer Space, this mix lets you know exactly where it wants to take you from moment one. Deep funky house music from Departure Lounge and Lexicon Avenue lead you into the big anthem sounds of Under The Water. The entire mix has the stamp of 'Deep Dish approved' on it. The swingy drums of H2O - All Over Your Face and Chiapet - Westworld, the chunky Music With A Feel from Jark Prongo, the evil bass of Joystick -Listen (Do You Hear It?) and Deep Dish themselves popping up in several places with their own and remix productions. Hell, they even manage to make the Culture Club track sound pretty damn wicked!

Whether its moving from funky house music to vibrant breaks to spacey electronic grooves to tough and techy bangers, there is something for everyone. Deep Dish mix up a storm, the mix is consistantly wicked all the way through, never losing flow, never jumping erratically from style to style, a nice mix of instrumental groovers and top notch vocal tracks ... and damn, its got a certain amount of grit to it! I would point out a list of the standout tracks from this but I'd just be copying and pasting everything above down here (even though alot of the artist names are missing!), no fillers at all.

You can no wrong in picking yourself a copy of this up, theres plenty of Deep Dish out there now, but this is definately one of the best.


Deep, funky and totally cheese free   April 10, 2001

This album is without a doubt the most consistantly brilliant mixed house compilation/session album that I've ever encountered. The selection of deep house floor-fillers is wonderful, and each of the two discs is a perfectly formed little set... faultless from beginning to end. If you either want *the best* tunes for your party, or just to chill to something that you'll want to listen to over and over... buy Yoshiesque.

If you liked the first Renaissance album by Sasha and Diggers then you need this album!!! This album is absolutely fantastic. Very funky, very electronic, very good! Deep Dish have been pushing the boundaries of house with their Yoshitoshi label and will blow your mind with this compilation of some very fine house music.
