Jamez - Dreamchasing [Album]
Background Info:
Dutch producer Jamez has had a hand in more good records than most of us
have had hot dinners. He's been at the birth of the Trancesetters, the
splendidly-named Tata Box Inhibitors, P.I.M.P., Loophole, Amfibian,
Mindfunk and an ever-expanding list of inventively-spelled production
credits.
Jamez for those that haven't been paying attention, was part of a Dutch
triumitive - the other two being Dobre and DJ Zki - that helped transform
European house music in the early 90's. Working closely with Dutch outfit
Touche Records, they produced a series of consistently great singles of
widly differing styles. While most U.K. DJs looked to the U.S. for new
records, oddly, lots of American DJs - Danny Tengalia being a particular
fan - championed this new European style (Underworld's Darren Emmerson was
also an early supporter of Touche's releases.
Tracklist:
01 - People Will Believe

03 - Feeling Good

Mmmm not many of you probably have heard the name Jamez before, but this is one kick ass album worth checking out if you're into house music as much as I am. It's not funky house, nor is it really progressive. It's a bit different, a bit more 'uppy' then progressive, yet not as funky as funky house. Kick ass tracks in this album, especially the end of People Will Believe and the beginning of Thanx. The rest of the tracks are amazing aswell, and I'm still not finished listening to the whole album. The tracklist keeps sounding better as I listen to it now. Appearently coming out on Future Groove / Mute sometime in March of 2003. So far I give this album 9/10. Worth picking up when it becomes available in stores. It won't dissappoint you.
