Horny music

First things first: German producer Mousse T. is capable of some of the worst cheesy disco this side of Bob Sinclar's "Love Generation" (proof: "Is It 'cause I'm Cool?"). And then there's the fact that he keeps re-releasing his 1998 "Horny" single (it's alright, I guess, but how many times do we have to hear it?). The lyrics?

I'm horny, horny, horny, horny
So horny, I'm horny, horny, horny
I'm horny, horny, horny, horny
So horny, I'm horny, horny, horny tonight

But for Mousse T. conosseurs (hm, are there any of those?) it should come as no surprise that he's got one of the best new mix compilations out there: MN2S Masterclass Series #1. He has also had his spots of brilliance and, as a producer, he has shown a deft ear for commercial play as well as classy house.

Mixing an ecclectic number of classic house tunes (his "I Feel Love" infused mix of Moloko's "Sing it Back," bt's "Remember" and L'il Louis' "French Kiss") with new should-be classics (Timo Maas and Kelis' "4 Ur Ears," Basement Jaxx' "Do Your Thing") and left-of center oddities (Trinah's version of Tina Turner's "Let's Stay Together"), Mr. T comes up all aces! And that's not all!

The T man features a bunch of jaw-dropping tracks that have been making the rounds over the past few months, including the slinky electro disco of Ame's "Rej," a nasty, grinding and stripped version of Recloose's sublime "Dust," and that new Ms. Barbara "Most Precious Love" Tucker track "Dutty Funk (We Can Do)," credited to Timmy Vegas.

Nothing, though, and I mean NOTHING, can beat the chills that go up your spine as the Barbara Tucker track bleeds into the driving, percusive, spiritual and uplifting beat of Ann Nesby's classic "Can I Get a Witness?" Get it NOW!

Extra credit for the GREAT packaging (see above) courtesy of jones. It a see-through jewel CD cover that uses x-ray like acetate cards for a cover image as well as the credit linings. Nice!
