Bigger on the Inside

This collection of dance tunes bemused me. I had some trouble getting in to it. After listening to what appeared to be two hours of a 4/4 drum beat augmented by samples I realised what it was about. The album was an historical record of an event, a means by which the listeners can relive if they were there or live vicariously through if they weren’t. Exerpt and link below…

Space Miami Terrace is one of those “you had to be there” recordings. It is a two CD, 22-track mixed compilation of dance tracks from the Yoshitoshi, Yo! and Shinichi labels. All tracks are mixed together by DJ Cedric Gervais. It stomps along at quite a pace. By listening to the album alone one can only imagine the heat that would be generated by the sweaty bodies dancing to these tunes.
