// Various Artists 'Hotel Voyage Vol 1 - Sampler' release - 11th Feb 2011//
So Sound Recordings launch a new series of compilations with the first instalment of Hôtel Voyage. So Sound Director and compilerFabian Giannattasio (aka Jazzy Eyewear) shows his skill of selecting a perfect blend of the very best music and describes the 2 CD and digital download set: “Hôtel Voyage is a remarkable mix of mellow, funky, over the edge, in the groove and diverse ear treasures - this eclectic and international mix takes us on a journey fueled by silky beats from around the world.”
“Vol 1 starts with a collection of down-tempo flavours with the soulful ‘I'm The 1 Who Loves You’ and ‘Show U the Luv’ by recent signing Les Loups. There's plenty of up-tempo vibes too – such as Otentik's ‘In Love With the DJ’ - and slow-burning deep-house missives like Red Box Lounge's ‘Sweet Love’, Jazzy Eyewear's own ‘The Renaissance’, and Tovar's classic bounce ‘Say Something’.”
“After raising temperatures with Christian Malloni's ‘Las Palmas’ and ‘Agua Ardiente’ and introducing Brazilian vibes on Funkyloco's‘Bossa Flow’, there are Nu-Disco grooves on Toomy Disco's 'We’ & ‘Age of the Jaguar’ and plenty of minimalistic atmosphere on St. Stereo's ‘Green Eyed’. Jazzy Eyewear brings us back to the floor towards the end with his alias Mr. Morning's anthemic ‘Tomorrow’ and Miami's own Raffa & Rainer round up the voyage with their indy folk stomper ‘A Little Bit’.”
