A-list DJ Freddy Bastone is legendary for his “great taste in music.” Renown for his “ability to play to a variety of ethnicities” he is recognized for his own distinct and influential style. An innovative pioneer of sampling and mash ups, he was the first DJ to use CDs at a major club. His musicology is matched only by his exciting live performances. 

His unorthodox creation of original remixes during his sets led to his becoming one of the most coveted remix producers in the world. With countless #1 and Top 10 hits under his belt, even Bastone’s early classics are still in demand by collectors worldwide, as he continues to lead the pack with a mission to keep dance music innovative.
 
"KINGS CUT OF THE MONTH - DJ - producer - remixer Freddy Bastone, who in the Wild West days would have been a Billy The Kid character such that he's on his own curve of life, has quite possibly come up with the next genre to make parents hate the music their teenagers are dancing to "Trippy House" with his latest production "Tripping By The Pool" which is as deliciously satanically dark as Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" was radiantly light. Ignore the coincidence of title to genre, just know that if Pink Floyd made House music it would sound like "Tripping By The Pool" the Original Mix at 131bpm. DJ's and Producers its time to stop fucking about with the same lazy 128 bpm electronic pre-sets and give the dance fans the world over something to switch their heads into - DEEP TRIPPY HOUSE - arise the savior KING FREDDY BASTONE." - Eddie Gordon/King Of Spins 2013

Well, with that kind of support from the industry, it's hard to add any more power to this review. This is exceptional blues the way it was meant to be played. Complete emersion in the sounds and feelings of the boogie with enough power and magic to overwhelm you like a hurricane or the Mississippi leaving its banks. This album rocks and provides enough power to make any blues fan happy. It will help light the fire on your grill and spice up any party on the back porch. With the help of guests like John Colianni, Angel Rose, Henry Butler, Don Lopez, and Eric R. Durham you are left with nothin' missing.
From the moment you put this disc in the player it rocks. The keys, drums, bass and other instruments only enhance what 'Murch' is already delivering through the chords. Powers' rendition of Hendrix' famous 'Spanish Castle Magic' is a highlight, as is the blues classic 'Shake Your Money Maker'. 'I Ain't Superstitious' is a wonderful song like a meandering river full of life. The title track is excellent with it entertaining keys.
If you like the boogie and blues, get this album!
