         TRACKLIST & NOTES

         Cielo: Playtime is a double album mixed by Cielo
         resident DJs; Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff.

         The Cielo compilation series has amassed a
         worldwide audience of seasoned dance music fans.
         Its ongoing success is a testament to the overall
         programming and underlying vibe at Cielo—a
         distinguished nightclub in New York that celebrates
         quality dance music above all else. Both CDs are
         mixed and compiled by the DJs to incorporate each
         of their musical bearings and keen sense of musical
         style.

         Since it's opening in 2004, Cielo has become an
         international club brand that specializes in
         world-class music, Funktion One sound, elite
         service and all-inclusive atmosphere. With
         Playtime, Cielo continues to uphold its status as a
         premiere club brand for both house music and
         electronic music in general.

         Disc one is entitled 'Classic' and from the second
         you press play, you'll understand why. The Terra
         Deva intro to Want Me Like Water tears through the
         speakers and we're off. Charles Webster's updated
         remix to his classic that was originally produced
         in 2001 under his Furry Phreaks moniker proceeds to
         set the tone for the disc: big diva vocals, rolling
         bass lines, infectious grooving hooks and
         unadulterated soul.

         The Classic tracks have been thoughtfully selected,
         and masterfully programmed. Divas on the disc
         include greats like Kerri Chandler, Lisa Fischer,
         Cindy Mizelle and the one-and-only Babara Tucker.
         Add a sprinkling of AtJazz, Kings of Tomorrow,
         Roberto Rodriguez, James Priestly, Dan Berkson and
         as already mentioned Charles Webster, and you're
         left with a magnificent 70 minutes of classic New
         York sounds delivered in a fresh and up-to-date
         package.

         Calling the second disc 'Nu-Classic' is a bold
         statement and it has a lot to live up to after disc
         one, but only time will tell whether it holds true.
         There's certainly something memorable about the
         disc, with the recognizable Lonely One by Motor
         City Drum Ensemble taking second position in a
         12-track line-up. The writing's on the wall for
         some of the tracks to become classics with
         producers such as Kenny Larkin, Jimpster, Manuel
         Tur and DPlay, Henrik Schwarz and Sebo K all
         present and correct.

         Unfortunately having a selection of great tracks
         doesn't necessarily mean that the impact of them
         mixed together will be greater than that of them
         individually. However, the second disc is
         programmed and mixed well. The first transition is
         a little more obvious than the others as the
         trippy, loopy sounds of Cirque De Soul by Kenny
         Larkin holds your attention and makes it an
         ambitious first track. As Lonely One is introduced
         a nice groove gets going. The rest of the disc
         delivers enough to keep you enjoying it but nothing
         really stood out and got my attention like the
         first disc. I've listened to disc two a couple of
         times preparing for the review and to be honest
         it's not a touch on the first disc - but it works
         well in the supporting roll.

         Either way if you're looking for a trusty
         summertime compilation to get you though those
         long, hot evenings this might just be it.
