Kinkysweet's
Cielo: Paradizo, mixed by DJs at New York's Cielo club, presents 24 smooth house songs, appropriate both for dancing and sitting back with friends enjoying a drink and conversation. The beat and the mood are kept steady as the album progresses, dreamlike and grooving at the same time. From
Julien Jabre's "Swimming Places [Jerome Sydenham Remix]" to
the Fatback Band (featuring
Bah Samba) doing "Spanish Hustle [Southport Weekender Mix] to
Monique Bingham's "Poor People," the atmosphere remains cool and nocturnal, perfect for sultry late-night encounters. Kinkysweet has always done a good job of putting out pretty decent house music compilations, and
Cielo: Paradizo falls into that category, so for those who are fans of the label's other releases, this album won't disappoint. ~ Marisa Brown
