 Kickin has been here for 16 years and was able to avoid pigeonholing and created a very diversed catalogue. People like The Scientist, DJ Hell, Rennie Pilgrim or Josh Wink have releases on this label so Chris Salt – as a DJ, not producer – joined quite a company. The title future house is simply a variated progressive – a genre that is no new to Kickin, thanks to a compilation released in 2000, created by the Silver Planet’s owner – Dave Conway. Dave’s protégé opens and closes his compilation with his so characteristic sounds. We will probably review them as a single release so let’s focus on what’s in between. This CD has two features you may fall in love with – the mixing except for a not to good marriage of “Enchanted Breaks” with “Dave Is A Robot” is at a master degree and the amount of killers would do for several calmer albums. Because “Future House” is not calm at all. Salt finishes sneaking with the outstanding “Enchanted Breaks” and doesn’t absolve till the very end letting us catch a breath from time to time. An excellent ravey remix of “Hideaway” is eased with spaces and breakbeat and then the new version of “Supernatural” and Slacker’s hard core is again pacified with a broken melody. The biggest thing for me is the new remix of “I Really Want You” and I don’t vouch for myself while hearing this on a big soundsystem. This mix proves two things – that Chris constantly evolves as a DJ and that when you stir it up a bit progressive can still be rousing. You just need an idea and verve.  Comments[0]
