Where Dancefloors Stand Still CD

Terre Thaemlitz, aka DJ Sprinkles, is one of those producers whose career has never been as widely celebrated as it deserves, despite a back catalogue rich in atmospheric depth and off-kilter approach. Hopefully, this bleary-eyed mix album for Mule Musiq will inspire a reappraisal. Packed with warm, woozy tracks, long-forgotten US house gems (Gene Farris's disco-flecked "Good Feeling" and, more impressively, a 1993 deep garage remix from BT in his pre progressive house days), deep house classics (Keys & Tronics Ensemble's decidedly Balearic "Calypso of House", a dash of Fingers Inc) and on-point contemporary selections (Manoo & Francois A), it doesn't so much bristle with energy as slip between the speakers on a wave of saucer-eyed love.
