Carte Blanche, Vol. 3

The third volume in Naked Music's excellent Carte Blanche series of expressive jazz-house mixes maintains the quality control of previous volumes; though not always a distinctive sound, Naked Music's vision of keys-heavy disco, R&B, and house is a great sound spread over the course of an hour. One major highlight comes from the sweet-soul performance of Jonatan Bäckelie on "Fall Into You" by Stateless. Meanwhile, the clipped beats, glittering effects, and echoey vocals driving P'taah's "Hold You Close" would've lit up the dancefloors at the Paradise Garage.
