"Love the entire release! Very eclectic collection and a feast for the ears." IBIZARRE "Essence" is one of the most famous compilation series in Japan and is mixed by DJ 19. Recently "Essence" has been focusing on chillout / downtempo music instead of the stereotypical dancefloor-oriented mix CD. "Essence - Paradise Sessions" is the 5th installment and follows up "Chillout Essence", "Essence - Chillout Sessions", "Essence - Shakatak Sessions" and "Essence - Resort Sessions". "Essence - Paradise Sessions" oozes warm, fuzzy, jazzy, trancey and thoroughly provocative electronica. As is the way with the "Essence" catalogue, a true gem sits amid the collection waiting to be discovered. In this case, there are 4 tracks which make their debut on the compilation and 2 tracks edited especially for this compilation. Unique collaborations abound. DJ 19 has teamed up with CHILLER TWIST under the guise of ETHEREAL SOUNDS. Lounge specialist, EDDIE SILVERTON aka JEFF BENNETT is on the list of fantastic producers chosen to represent the Essence name. Lastly, label boss DJ 19 drops his first chillout track using his standard recording name. Previous efforts in the chillout genre have seen him working as AMBROZIA, VALID EVIDENCE and HOT STATION monikers. Enjoy & Relax these undiscovered chillout tunes!!! http://www.myspace.com/essencecompilation
