💬 HUMAN PERSPECTIVE / МОИ МЫСЛИ
RU (Мои мысли): Это классика в чистом виде. Когда видишь связку «Tony Humphries + King Street Sounds», можно не глядя скачивать. Этот микс — как машина времени: он возвращает в эпоху, когда хаус-музыка была про чувства, про веру (буквально, в госпел-хаусе) и про бесконечный танцпол. FLAC-
качество здесь критично — в треках вроде «Hallelujah» от Керри Чандлера так много нюансов в органных партиях, что в обычном mp3 они просто теряются
.
EN (DJ Review): There is a "swing" to Tony Humphries' mixes that is impossible to replicate with modern software. This record captures the precise moment when Deep House and Garage merged into the sophisticated sound that would conquer the world. If you want to study the art of long-form, soulful house mixing, this 74-minute continuous set is your primary textbook.
