STOP PRESS...........REVIEW FROM DJ TIMES

 

Urban Junglist Aphrodite Spun Records. Aphrodite's latest journey is nothing short of awesome, in the most literal sense of the term. Flawless mixes are the status quo of this seasoned junglist, but it's the unique fusion of old school tech step delving dangerously into it's traditional breaks heritage, and progressive vocals that makes this compilation truly amazing. Look out especially for Aphrodite's remix of Beverly Knight's Whatever's Clever among other standout performances by Aphrodite himself with Slice of a Pie and Potenetial Bad Boy's Say Goodbye. Urban Junglist is the album that will bring those on the fringes of the scene to the center of a very beautiful movement. Without a moment's reprieve, this album will be the new standard against which all other within the genre will be compared.
