Escape: St. Barth's is the latest installment in the Escape compilation series released by SOLPHONIC, each of which captures the individual essence of the globe’s most lavish destinations. This rich selection of vocal house tracks is bright and breezy with an infectious groove. The set flawlessly blends jazz-inflected house, Afro-Latin beats and dynamic vocals into one breathtaking journey with a track listing that reads like a who's who of dance music, featuring gems from Roger Sanchez, Martin Solveig, Tim Deluxe, Junior Jack and Lee Cabrera.
"There should be a label affixed to the front of this CD that says: "WARNING: NOT A CHILLOUT CD". From its azure blue cover to its laid-back name, Escape St. Barth's might give you the wrong idea about what you're going to hear, and that would be a shame if it missed making it into your shopping cart or stereo because you were thinking the last thing you need is another island-inspired chill out CD. Let me say that again: this is not a typical chillout release! Imagine more like you're in the disco next to the beach, or maybe sailing in your new best friend's yacht drinking sweet rum drinks, and you'll know the happy move your body kind of beats we're talking about here. Someone (unnamed in the credits) over at the brand new label Solphonic picked out this incredible selection of upbeat, vocal-infused, incredible house tunes - and all the best mixes of said tunes as well. These are some of my all-time favorites from the past four years, including Dr. Kucho! "Lies To Yourself", Roger Sanchez "Another Chance", Tim Deluxe "It Just Won't Do" (remember that one??) and the instantly classic The Supermen Lovers "Starlight." The continuous mix is flawless thanks Urban Rhythm's skills. Actually, if it were really up to me, I'd sticking my own label on this case: WARNING: INCREDIBLE FEEL-GOOD MUSIC INSIDE!" — Claire Truman (RAVES.COM)
