That's My Jam Dance Chart - April 2009

Sound Off - Kaskade: The Om Remixes

The latest albums making noise

Om Records already has one of the most talented rosters of funky house DJs around, and their A&R man Ryan Raddon, better known as Kaskade, has remixed several of the label's biggest hits. His new collection, The Om Remixes, reinterprets some of the best San Francisco-style house tracks for a mostly pleasurable listening (and dancing) experience.

Epitomizing this sound is Mark Farina's “To Do” [Kaskade Carry On Mix], which utilizes deep bass tinged with break beats crispness before building to a horn-infused, rhythm-pounding climax. Equally percussion-driven, though more tribal in melody, is Afro-Mystik's “Natural,” the Kaskade Roots Remix that is composed of bongo-originated beats paired with a narcotic set of vocals. The set opener, Colette's “Feelin' Hypnotized,” induces a trance-like harmony with angelic echoing over a continuous beat.

“If I Fall” [Kaskade Soulshower Mix] is a classic contribution to the collection from Naked Music NYC that relies on organic instrumentation to complement the incessant pounding house rhythm, while King Kooba's “If I Could” lives up to its remix moniker (Kaskade More Pop Mix) and could easily find placement on late '90s/early '00s genre playlist.

Things mellow out on “Builder” [Kaskade Let's Make Out Mix], Rithma's stripped downtempo groove that's full of trancey atmospherics and live instruments. Kaskade himself closes the set and keeps the BPMs slow on “Steppin' Out” [Kaskade Chill Out Mix], a cut with shivering vocals laid over a melodious guitar.

The Om Remixes flows from track to track and keeps the set diverse with the mellow songs that close out the disc. There are plenty of party starters, a few obscurities and couple of tracks that are average and easy to overlook, but in all, the album is a fun addition to a true house aficionado's collection.
