Album Description:
Mimosa is the first in a new quartet of releases for Bargrooves. This time following the theme of ‘taste and tastemakers’, Bargrooves Mimosa sees Ben Sowton team up with one of the hottest names in soulful house, Los Angeles-based Groove Junkies. As with all previous Bargrooves releases, resident DJ Ben Sowton helms disc 1 and puts together a mix of music with songs that compliment each other as well as orange juice mixes with champagne. On disc 2, the Groove Junkies have peppered their sweet and soulful mix with their own productions, some of which are exclusive to this compilation. The Bargrooves series is world-respected for its international cocktail of style and sophistication. Mimosa follows in that tradition with a double disc set of sunshine-soaked grooves.

Rating : - Real Deep
This is a nice deep house production. If you like this, check out the first full length CD for producer Quentin Allen as Karu. There are other 12" releases on Silver Network, Dadhouse, Winding Road, Mimosa & Smooth Agent. This CD is a very consistant production with a good blend of jazz, hip-hop, techno, neo-soul, and deep house all together. The beats are very crisp and sound good in the car, the house or the club. Some songs tastefully use vocal snippets to add flavor. There is even a track featuring Warren Harris aka Hanna (Shadow Records, Silver Network, Flat & Round, Freerange). If you want good quality deep house, this CD is for you.
