- Saeed & Palash are well known throughout the US for their clever production skills and DJ sets. There CD is no different. Taking the listener through a vast array of house sounds, from the tech, tribal and nice rhythmic baselines through to a darker side of house that smoothes the CD out to give it a complete feel.
CD1 – Saeed: Offering a smoother more calm listening experience than Palash, the CD acts as both the perfect platform to CD2 and as a complete package itself. Vocals, intelligent catchy hooks and nice tune selection finds this CD getting a heavy work load in my stereo. Tunes that catch the ear include; G-Pal’s ‘Ocean Of Blue’, UDG ‘Give Me Fierce, S&P own remix of Peter Bailey’s ‘U Need It’ and Nick Dem Q ‘ Write On’.
CD2 – Palash: Filthy dirty house basslines command respect throughout this CD with Revolts ‘Am I Still Dreaming’ kicking off the CD in perfect fashion, whilst I think Steve Parry’s ‘Jawa’ isn’t the perfect follow on, Palash gets things back on track with Althea McQueen’s ‘My Heart’ which chunky tribal sounds give added flavour to the CD. A dark thoughtful end product from Palash.
Overall a cleverly put together CD which symbolizes the sound of one of New Yorks best production teams. A worthy acquisition.
