DJ Sprinkles, Terre Thaemlitz, Various – Where Dancefloors Stand Still

Review:
Who knows better about revealing emotions on the dancefloor then Terre Thaemlitz worldwide known writer, public speaker, multimedia producer, DJ, audio producer, and head honcho of Comatonse Recordings. His deep house alias DJ SPRINKLES began life in the gay clubs of midtown Manhattan and New Jersey in the late eigthies and early nineties a time when deep house began to take air.

The mix takes off with a chicago deep house classic from 1992: braxton holmes debut ep „12 inches of pleasure“ here to listen in ron trent’s super sweet foreplay mix. his deepness merges gentle into alex danilov’s house hug „deep s“ taken from the arma 02 compilation ep released in spring 2012. From then on DJ SPRINKLES dives deep into house science and swings between the decades without loosing the flow. you get hit by classics from the late eigthies and early nineties such as „i can’t forget“ from sound mechanix, „the dip“ by the rude awakening, or legendary trio fingers inc. „never no more lonley“.

In between soulful arrangements from the noughties like “forestfunk i” from understars, “everybody’s talkin’“ by mymy, or “the deep“ from manoo & françois a call the tune. What all tracks have in common is a deep musicality and a heartbeat that ease and lift your spirits simulteanously.

The mix grooves with DJ SPRINKLES’ trippy mixing signature that playfully melts tracks who are built of flying piano notes, arresting tactile basslines, straight kicking drums, and magnetic layered samples. a deeply cathartic piece of a DJ mix that transforms dancing into a ritual in which dancers do rhythmic body painting that amalgamtes the indivual identity into a collective. a condition beyond space and time that should never get threaten by any law. if your dancfloor stands still too here come about 80 minutes of house deepness that will make him swing again.
