Sorry to read that this is intended to be the last in what I consider to be a very fine series. Frankly, I think that #5 is the best of the bunch (but I also thought that about the previous two releases)which manages the very difficult task of providing a contemporary set that intersects the space between dance and lounge without resorting to cliche or re-licensing overexposed tracks. Thanks for inviting me in to your High-Fidelity house!

As far as the prewiew allows, it seems that this is a up and downs record. But in a good sense. You start with the first song Fluxus which is kinda slow, and then with Escaping Sao Paulo which is darker and slower. Finally you listen to Sambalate and the record starts to make you feel good...and then Magic love, the summit, the everest, the best track of the record, only heard 30 seconds of the song, and that was enough to fall in love, and then to close the record with the track from Caia which is really good! i'm happy to have found this release!!!
