Bob SinclarEnjoy Hussle/Defected/EMI Bob Sinclar, the alter ego of French House DJ/producer Christopher LeFriant, has made a tremendous impact in house music since his 1998 debut LP 'Paradise'. Sinclar captured a funky disco groove, gave it a sexy French twist and placed the result within the realm of house music, and 'Enjoy' brings together many of the tracks that have made Sinclar a household name into a solid double mix CD. There is no major difference between the two CDs; so much so that some tracks make an appearance on both. However, all the favourites are here: Save Our Soul, The Beat Goes On, and the international hit I Feel For You - all of which capture the essence of sexy French house that Sinclar personifies. However, throughout his career he has shown his ability in other branches of house music: his 'Africanism' mix series with DJ Gregory and Martin Solveig highlighted his ability to blend the heavy percussions and infectious rhythms of Latin house, and hence Africanism, Taj Mahal and Bisuo Sucre make welcome appearances here. The inclusion of Sinclar's down tempo r'n'b production Darlin seems out of place in this album, but the one can't deny its chart success and it does belong in the sense of this being a sort of 'greatest hits' compilation. The repetition of tracks tends to educe a feeling of two identical mix CDs; however, that's not to say that it creates limitations for the album as a whole: the inclusion of chart favourites and classic club tracks gives the album evergreen listening appeal and provides the listener with a comprehensive picture of Sinclar's brilliant career.  |
