YLCD 007 Sven Van Hees - Heatwave (Your Lips/NL)

 

 When my digital player got the campain of this long player was really a nice suprice for me. I thought, the Dutch music mastermind behind the early ninities dance culture of Global Cuts Label and the most sensual chill out and lounge grooves is back where he started from, the dance music era. But Sven Van Hees is flirting, licking and meeting all of his musical advenures in an new discovered exotic island that called ‘’Heatwave’’ and excist somewhere in his brain and all the well known digital music stores I guess. ‘’Right Here’’ is starting the journey with a deep and slappy house rhythm that followed sensual female vocals and many different guitar strings. ‘’Heir To The King’’ deep dub tek is an amazing and innovating dance track, beautiful lush and electrified groove are in harmony with jamaican background. ‘’Leaving’’ gots all the ingredients of the next big hit, catchy vocals and lyrics plus clubby deep house rhythm that you can’t ignore. ‘’Before Afterhours’’is the real chilled house of the long player, imagine the downtempo Sven Van Hees grooves remixed for poolside use, this is perfect. ‘’Saudade De Bo’’, the next track, is changing the directions, from the deep house rhythms is coming the part of the album without only uptempo tracks. This bossa nova is so beautiful and as a Brazillian music lover is one my highlights, is like Sven Van Hees offered me a caipirinha. ‘’Casa 21’’ is like Santana’s club alter ego, slide guitar slidding over a super latin beat that is calling you to shake, to dance with. Afrobeat ‘’Mofongo’’ turns his back to the electronic side of music and following a path of analogue instrumentation, imagine Talking Heads from their last album back in 1988 without David Byrne on vocals, can you resist? Me, not!!! Then I like a lot the wedding of lounge and dub on ‘’Chillin' at Soles Bar’’, ‘’Rainbow Shine’’ continues the mixture of styles of ’’Thunami’’ album and his next years productions, exotic Sven Van Hees sound is playin’ with the downtempo electronic games of the last decades. ‘’Santa Domingo’’ connects Candella’s and Cuban sound with Indian mystical music journeys... And this is how the story goes, ‘’Heatwave’’ is one of the best productions of Sven Van Hees today and twentyeleven’s too, don’t miss it. - Dj Nova, Nova Planet Radio Show
