Santa Cruz product Miguel Migs gently but firmly tears the roof off with 24th St Sounds, his latest example of the sunny, uptempo chill music known as "deep" house. As practiced by Migs, Ben Watt, King Britt and others, the style takes the raunch of classic house and replaces it with a polished cocktail vibe, creating a hybrid your parents might even enjoy. Not to say that it doesn't kick; 24th St Sounds is a smooth ride, but it's also a relentless--and fantastic--dance record. Migs knows how to blend, and his positive energy would sound just as good in a grimy New York basement club as it would at a Riviera beach bash. He starts hot, leaving the soft melodies in the background on floor stompers like "Waiting." After a slight lull, he picks up again for the luminous "You Can't Stop," and backs off with the spare, borderline electro of Trevor Lovey's "The Bounce." The second disc, culled from Migs's studio catalog, sounds more thrown together and lacks disc 1's drive and cohesion. But really, it's hard to get too much of 24th St Sounds, as long as you're in a good mood (or won't mind being put into one). --Matthew Cooke
Product Description
At the forefront of dance music's deeper realm, stands Miguel Migs - personifying the chilled-out, soul-driven vibe. Combining the best of both the electronic music world with live instrumentation, he creates an organic-soulful touch to his original productions and remixes.
In the past few years alone, Miguel has quietly put out more than 90 quality, original cuts and remixes on seminal independent labels like Naked Music, Yoshitoshi, NRK, Black Vinyl, Large, Chez, and Transport. All of which have made waves sliding into the record bags of top deep house DJs across the globe, hit DJ hype charts of international media, and found their way onto numerous compilations. Miguel has since found himself on the remixer A-list of dance music's top record labels and producers, not to mention his remixes for superstar artists like Macy Gray, Lionel Richie and Britney Spears.
As a DJ, Miguel maintains the same elements to his sets, as to his productions. Combining a variety of influences and styles fused together. Funky, Deep, soulful, bumping house music. Miguel currently can be found regularly traveling the globe as one of the industries top-leading DJ's, as well as at home in the studio creating music, which is his main love and passion.
