Renaissance Pres. Nic Fanciulli Vol. 2

15:31 - October 18, 2006

by Watts

Well, what a year it has been for dance music's brightest star. Following-on from the success of Vol. 1, our intrepid DJ embarked on a world tour; remixed the likes of Underworld and Tiefschwarz; took up a coveted position on Radio 1's 'Residency' show; continued to blaze an incredible production trail with the likes of 'Luminaire' and 'Lucky Heather' (more on that later) and, to cap it all, continued to wow clubbers with his Space residency in Ibiza.

And that's before he started to think about Vol. 2!

Yet, miraculously, here it is in all its glory; 2 CDs of some of the finest house this side of a Sotheby's property auction. Disc 1, 'Early Doors', kicks off with Nic's exclusive edit of King Britt's excellent H-Foundation re-work, a record he has featured in his sets over recent years, as he explains, "I tried to keep the balance... deep, but not too boring. I also tried to find a couple of old gems that I used to play." True to his word, Nic serves up track and remix delights from Francois DuBois, James Talk, Akabu, Fuckpony, Charles Webster and the ever-excellent Ame before signing-off with the highly sought-after Danny Howells mash-up of Coldcut Feat. Lisa Stansfield - People Hold On and Bent - Always In My Heart.

Disc 2, 'Late Night Floors' sees Fanciulli in full flow. Kicking off with an excellent new intro re-work of his own Tiefschwarz - Damage Feat. Tracy Thorn remix, he continues to keep things in-house with Buick Project's interpretation of Underworld, 'Vanilla Monkey'. Funk D'Void, Gabriel Ananda, Bookashade and Paul Kalkbrenner are just some of the luminaries who also get to rub shoulders in this expertly segued mix, but the highlights must be saved for the man himself with 'Lucky Heather' and 'Cat Out Of The Bag'. Both were recorded exclusively for the album with 'Lucky' undoubtedly becoming one of the summer’s biggest anthems, racing to the top of both The Buzz AND it's American equivalent, The Balance Chart, a rare achievement indeed.

Renaissance Pres. Nic Fanciulli Vol. 2, without question, one of the most exciting compilations you will hear all year.
