A SLICE OF PARADISE / Vol. 1
   

SPAIN PRESS

TRAX MAGAZINE - Competion on August Issue, and review on September Issue Desde el 69 love songs de The Magnetics Fields no habia tenido entre mis manos un disco tan largo y tan sugerente. A Slice of Paradise Vol.1 es un recopilatorio de cinco compactos mezclados por Biggabush, Nick Matthews, Gav Smith, Enrique Domenech(el artífice de dicha compilación) y Ben Mono basado en el downtempo, el nu jazz, el soul, el groove con toques cariocas, el elctrolounge y todo el warm beat en general. Cálido, entretenidoy apacible, A Slice of Paradise Vol.1 se promete amenizar las mejores cenas y veladas nocturnas al más estilo Maniatan para todos aquellos que sueñen con un guateque a lo Desayuno con Diamantes pero de hoy en día. Aunque los recopilatorios no son una emanación de creatividad en si mismos, pocos cumplen una misión tan clara como este; o lo que es lo mismo, te sacará de mil apuros cuando tengas visitas en casa y quieras quedar de lo más cool. Si lo tienes, ya podrás tirar a la basura las recopilaciones chill del Corte Inglés. Joan Pich i Pons

TIME OUT MAGAZINE – Called "Ultimate compilation of the year" on October Issue

BASIC SOUL RADIO – Mix of Enrique Domenech - A Special Mix from A Slice of Paradise Launch Party at LaSal with Enrique Domenech, Gav Smith and Ben Mono + Review - "Inspired by the parties held at beach bar Xiringuito in Playa Del Postiguet, Alicante, Spain, this 5 CD package features mixes from a selection of DJs who have graced it's decks. With offerings from Biggabush, Nick Matthews, Gav Smith, Ben Mono and resident (and the man behind Fusionova021 Records) Enrique Domenech, you know this is going to be tasty. Nick Matthews' selection features the Yam Who? remixes of Alison Crockett's ‘UR' and Amp Fiddler's ‘Dreamin' along with the brilliant ‘Nocturne' from David Borsu and Sidewinder's ‘The Adventure [Version #2]'. Intuit's ‘Crianca Das Ondas', Mojo Project's ‘Where Is The Butterfly [Break Reform Mix]' and Break Reform's own ‘Medusa [Dynamic Syncopation Mix]' turn up on Enrique's mix. It's the Gav Smith disc which is my favourite though, with tracks from his own Pantone label like Jazztronik's ‘Froro' and ‘In The Morning' by Jafrosax feat Vikter Duplaix. There's also the Spiritual South mixes of Paul Murphy's ‘Jazz Room' and ‘Veja O Sol' from A Bossa Electrica, plus Antonio Ocasio's ‘Blessed'. I've never been to Xiringuito but if this is the sort of stuff they're playing then I think I need to pay a visit and taste a slice of paradise for myself.".Andy

“This compilation was even worth being bought for you collection, if the music wasn't good. Why? Just because its cover art and package is so creative and of a high value that you need to have this one. Besides this reason, the music on the 5 (yes, F.I.V.E) CDs speak for itself. Tracks for chilling on a beach or in your garden, perfectly chosen and mixed by the BestKeptSecret guys, waits to be discovered. Exactly 55 (!!) excellent productions and remixes from Mojo Project, Intuit, Wei Chi, Ben Mono, Lonesome Echo Production, Claude Monnet, Jazztronik, Vikter Duplaix, Spiritual South, S.U.M.O., Alison Crocket, Yam Who, Biggabush, David Walters and many others turn this compilation into an awesome journey into laid back sounds. Not to forget the exclusive Terry Callier 'Slice Of Paradise' intro on each CD. Definitely not for the average joe, but for the true music lovers - carefully done by the DJs Biggabush, Nick Matthews, Gavin Smith, Enrique Domenech and Ben Mono and inspired by the Xiringuito Beach Bar at the Playa del Postiguet, Alicante (Spain).”

“I think it's a great selection of music and no doubt, this is timeless electronic music at its best! Will definitely feature & review it in my radio show.”

"Nice comp - bonker packaging, but im really glad its recycled paper. Who's this Nick Matthews character - he's got immaculate taste? But seriously, nice range of music, lets hope that its a hit."

FRANK SICCARDI (Irma Records)
"I love the compilation you sent over Nick, thanks! i mean the 5 packer... one of the best packaging i've ever seen actually."
