DJ Sampler Vol. 7 Various KULT Records
This EP is aimed at the most serious underground house crowd. Benji Candelario’s re-edit of Kevin Yost’s “Snow” whips up a long tribal house track packed to the rafters with drums. Tobi One contrasts sampled gospel cries with highly EQ’d beats on “Old School Vibes,” creating a short, exciting interplay. Also included is the instrumental of Miguel Placencia’s “I Am Somebody,” which works a choppy synth line over a rather traditional house groove. And Andy Roberts goes ballistic with space noises and dub effects on his party climaxing “Rough and Raw 98.”
Mixer Review
“DJ Sampler Volume 7 EP Tobi One old skool vybes Various KULT records
Simple, yet effective, this catchy sample track works as a terrific after-hours houser – a perfect addition to your set. The combination of door-slamming beat drops, subtle sample snips and hand claps provides an excellent avenue for endless segue possibilities from any musical direction – yet the cut manages to maintain a credibility that stands on its own. A little short for my liking but still worth a shot. From the “DJ Sampler Volume 7 EP.” 130 BPM. For more information, contact (212) 564-7134.

DJ Sampler Vol. 7 Various KULT Records
With Kult's DJ Sampler series everyday is like Christmas!!! This latest edition is no exception with four choice tracks that has should be ubiquitous in clubland. Kevin Yost is one of possibly one of house music's fastest rising stars. He made his recording debut in 1995 with this remix of Mila's “Show Your Feelings Inside,” an Afrocentric vinyl excursion, deftly reconstructed by Benji Candelario. This tribal house set was a seminal classic first time around and is set to do the same on its second outing. Kult newcomer and DJ/producer superstar in the making, Tobi One shows no signs of slowing down with “Old School Vibes,” his ultra-percussive tune, which pays homage to deep house music's old school days of yore. The prodigious Tobi One adds his trademark tapestry of complicated, highly engaging beats, with enough dark effects to keep the minimalists amongst us happy. Tributes don't get much better than this. Side two opens with Miguel Placencia's bouncy instrumental version of Deep Swing's “I Am Somebody” (which is a tasty appetizer for the entree, Placencia's full vocal mix, soon to be released on Kult). This track bobs and weaves more than a world class prize fighter, while packing a head-bobbing punch of huge proportions. Upbeat and optimistic, “I Am Somebody” is brassy, with intricate kicks and snares that give the track added propulsion. Canadian producer Andy Roberts' “Ruff & Raw” caused seismic stirrings throughout the global dance industry two years ago, when this dance floor-friendly cut first hit the clubs. For those who missed the boat (Shame on you!), Roberts delivers “Ruff & Raw '98,” an updated version that retains the same elements of its predecessor, though this time it's leaner, meaner and more lethal. Now, those who sought after the original can seek solace within these juicy grooves.

Kult Records Sampler 7
Fans of this label will be pleased to see four cuts of the inimitable style. Who could ask for more with cuts from Kevin Yost, Tobi One, Andy Roberts, and Miguel Placencia. All the cuts are more than dancefloor worthy – a great way to have a variety
of sounds on one release. 4/5 (Ben Ewy)
