As the title suggests, 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: Motown 1980s, Vol. 2 gathers a dozen more '80s hits from Motown artists, including DeBarge, Billy Preston, and the Boys. While the collection contains several good singles, it also reveals how scattered Motown's output was at the time: ranging from Rick James' sleek funk classic "Super Freak" to Smokey Robinson's lighter-than-air "Just to See Her" to Diana Ross' sweeping, orchestral "It's My Turn" -- with quirky detours like Bruce Willis' "Respect Yourself" besides -- the compilation shows that, unlike in the label's heyday, Motown in the '80s didn't have much of a unifying sound or theme to its music. Nevertheless, songs like the Commodores' "Lady (You Bring Me Up)," the Temptations' "Lady Soul," and Charlene's "I've Never Been to Me" prove that the label was still capable of releasing interesting and entertaining music from its new and veteran artists. And while 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: Motown 1980s, Vol. 2 isn't quite as strong or cohesive a collection as the first Motown '80s compilation, it's still useful as a portrait of where the label was in that decade. ~ Heather Phares

Deep & Sexy 4, is a house music dream built for flirtatious moments on dance floors around the globe. Not one to limit this to just creating a mix for a renowned label, King took the opportunity to challenge himself. Using Ableton Live 6 software, this compilation is as much a unique studio album as it is a scenic compilation of tracks. “First I picked all the songs that I wanted in the mix, then I culled them down to ones that may be pieced together to create a completely new track. I made three turntable tracks which would be as if I was DJing. I also made a track of all my re-edits and loops, as well as a track of acapella and samples. In LIVE 6 I put them all together using production techniques rather than only mixing records. I really loved mixing this way.” - King BrittIt works perfectly. Beginning with Onda’s “Waiting For Love”, which is laced with saucy guitar riffs that compliment the sparse melodic lyrics, then flowing perfectly through Tom & Joyce’s “Vai Minha Tristeza”. With a tambourine accenting the bass lines, and the introduction to the saxophone as it hits mid way, you know you are on a deep house groove that softly picks you up and demands your hips to move along. King’s ear for groove-heavy, high-hat hitting music is showcased throughout the mix, and is most apparent when Abstract Truth ”Get Another Plan” (Trumpet Jam) starts peeking through. This track sets the pace for the rest of the mix, and is the perfect house tune with its up-and-down bass line and soaring trumpet, which sings to the listener’s mood. Under the Scuba moniker, King co-wrote and produced “Love For You” as an exclusive single for the compilation. Naked Music’s Lisa Shaw sings with unmistakable voice that is nothing short of meltingly gorgeous. Having King Britt craft the music for her emotive lyrics, this superb track has acid lines with wave-like crescendos and is flavored with a hint of strings. “Love For You” is the project highlight and will be releasing soon on Wave Music with exclusive remixes by an assortment of mix masters. Deep & Sexy 4 ends with Blue 6’s “Sweeter Love” (Jay’s ...
