With all the different roads he's been travelling over the years, it would have been a hell of a task for Mister Forge to contain in a mere hour all the diverse styles and tendencies he's lost himself in over the years. Instead, he decided to make this mix for Trustthedj a random sample of his ultra-diverse, yet very consistent, DJ style. And in doing so, he effortlessly cooks up one of the finest nu-latin jazz compilations we've enjoyed so far in the blessed year 2002. No big-hitting tunes, but the bulk of this sunny collection is made up of real, emotionally stirred music that's propped up with jazzy grooves and funky latin breaks and where the smoky vocals are only relieved by the sultry and the sexy ones. Almost every track is a seduction of its own on this grand tour through the web of contemporary jazz and its countless spins-offs. It kicks off with Herbie Hancock's brand new, but already classic, 'The Essence,' where we are allowed a chance meeting with the Goddess of Funk herself, Chaka Khan. And from there on, every track is an apex of its own. We @volgaTowers experienced an immediate penchant for Nicola Conte's ultra-bossa remix of Eli Goulart's 'Meu Samba,' Agent K's oh-so-smooth 'Ladies,' Restless Soul's self-explanatory title 'Beautiful,' and Hefner's simply incredible downtempo re-take of Prince's 'Controversy.' But the rest of the choice tracks ooze just as much joy-of-life, and love for music and all things beautiful. Which is more than enough for us. The kind of compilation you'll be savouring for years to come, we @volgaHQ dare declare it the latin jazz equivalent of that groundbreaking Kruder & Dorfmeister Dj-Kicks session from a few years back. People who are into Rainer Trüby's Glücklich series on Compost will be wetting their pants over this. And I bet the ladies will like it too.
