One of the most dynamic titles we've heard in the Fania DJ Series collection -- a Japanese-only volume put together by that scene's DJ Muro -- a mixer who's easily got one of the greatest ears for a groove going today! Muro's track selection here is great -- tunes that not only go past the obvious Fania hits, but which also offer up a much more complicated set of rhythms than you might expect from the label -- a range of funky moments, bigger orchestrations, jazzy touches, and more -- all presented with a nicely sharp-edged approach to the mix -- one that has the tunes almost exploding next to each other at times! Titles include "Lucretia The Cat" by Ray Barretto, "Salsa Suite Part 3" by Orchestra Harlow, "Smoke" by Fania All Stars, "Stand" by Harvey Averne, "My Daddy's Farm" by Franie Dante, "Young Gifted & Brown" by Joe Bataan, "The Return Of Cochise" by Lenni Sesar, "After Midnight" by Bobby Rodriguez, "Prepara" by Fania All Stars, "Mind Blowing Decisions" by Jimmy Sabater, "On Our Way To Tomorrow" by Seguida, and "Afro Hustle" by Lou Perez.

A quality mix from Muro: a wonderful journey through latino influenced soul music.
