This is just one of the 10 great hits mixed on this first CD, also includes other great hits by the Rosabel Team.

Alegria is the title of this awesome set of party beats. This is the party that put the late night after hours back into full swing. After the great fall of clubs like TWILO, NYC searched for a way to add back late nights. It was found with the Alegria parties that started back in Washington DC 2000 Millennium March.

On to the After Hours portion of this CD set. There are twelve great selections on this CD. To name a few Peter Rauhofers remix of Time
to the awesome sounds of Tony Moran who remixed Sanctuary; he will be visiting the Bay Area in just a few weeks. If you have been looking for a great CD set for after the clubs or just to relax at home be sure to check out Alegria available from Tommy Boy and in Stores now!

"Queer As Folk" - The Forth Season: Soundtrack

Finally!! It was worth the wait; the fourth season soundtrack for Showtimes popular "Queer as Folk". It doesn't hit stores until June 22, 2004 this Tuesday, but I will tell you this its a great soundtrack; a private copy to review so we could spotlight it in this weeks CD REVIEW!

Fourteen songs on this CD and may I add so well put together. You get a fill of what makes this show so great! Many of the song on this CD are from the most memorable scenes on QAF 4 even the theme song. The ever popular after-hours bring a few great tribal/house songs to the deck. Being a soundtrack the producers also remind us of the great classics from the season. Included is a touch of classy music that will set the mood for all occasions, definitely entertaining for all; my favorite (should be performed by Tampa's own Ms. Joey Brooks) is the hilarious track "If I Were A Man" by Andrea Menard.

Do yourself a favor and get the Season 4 "Queer As Folk" CD on Tuesday. If you loved Season 4 you are going to love the music on this CD. If you want to share your thoughts on this CD post in our message boards.

Global Groove: Chill Out
I will list a few artist and thier song below but don't b suprised if the songs aren't as familiar as you would expect. This is a new and fresh look to music for kicking back. Kicking things off is Mystic Diversions : Float On the name pretty much says it all. Alex Gopher : Ralph & Kathy, Goldfrapp : Pilots, and Zero 7 : In the Waiting Line. These songs have a greatbackground beet that is uplifting but not too strong to where it might make you a little hyper. There is also great srtists like DJ Rodriguez : Such a Joy to See You and Mandalay : Not Seventeen. The only thing that I have heard that is close to the selection on this CD was the UTOPIA CD compilation. By far this is one great CD and a Favorites list if you need to just "Chill Out".

Soundtrack: Circuit
The soundtrack that has already been making noise. Circuit is an independent film that is due to be shown during Pride here in Tampa. I haven't seen the movie as of yet but I assure you that the soundtrack is a HIT. Along with 2 other producers Tony Moran has put together a collection of great music that isn't just for the dance community. It is a soundtrack that I would personally put up there with "QAF". Who out there doesn't know someone with that one!
