Sounds You Can Feel

Editorial Reviews
From URB Magazine
Thanks to the tireless dedication of scene makers like Doc Martin, Southern California (and the West Coast in general) now commands mad respect in the worldwide house community. It was not always this way. Throughout the '90s, house heads west of the Rockies were used to seeing the left coast as a wasteland of Mickey Mouse breaks and the twee, airy sounds of early trance. But with Martin finding a common ground between house, techno and yes, funky breaks, his perpetual presence on the global circuit turned him into an ad hoc ambassador for all things Californian. Eventually, even the hardest heads started looking westward, with a Who's Who of house (Colette, J.T. Donaldson and Lance DeSardi, just to name a few) relocating to Cali's sunny climes.

Now Martin gets to take a victory lap with the enviable honor of producing a mix CD for Derrick Carter's heralded Classic label. He doesn't disappoint. Running through after-hour anthems like Slow Supreme's "Green Tea" and Shaun Escoffery's rousing "Days Like This" before getting dirty with URB Next 100 star Aaron Carl's raunchy "Down" and New Wave-y with Rob Mello's "Fantasize," Sounds You Can Feel is mellower than expected. Still, it's a moody and masterful affair.

Doc always tells a story through his mixes (something that is lost in the vacuous mixes going on these days), and this one is joyful and uplifting. Starting out with ?Just for Fun,? I can feel the happiness that Doc shares right from the start. Then he beams out the rays of ?Day?s Like This,? which is so bright and happy, it makes me smile like a sunflower. Right after, Doc is reflective with ?Lovelee Day? ? its echoey sound whispering from the ether. I tear here as I?m reminded of the mortal realization of watching my days from beginning to the natural end. It?s beautiful!

Doc also reaches out with a gay sensitivity as he plays ?Down.? This is so bold and refreshing as Doc steps out of the narrow line that today?s mega-mundane DJ?s follow (I wish Doc would play at more gay clubs). Doc knows the roots of this music, and there are even hints of old-school Disco with ?Off Side? and ?Super Disco.? These tracks are almost a tribute to the master -- Larry Levin and the Paradise Garage.

Doc?s humanity shows through with his insight into unrequited love. House?s message is love and the yearning for it, because this planet lacks it so much. Doc captures this idea with the lonely ?Hold On? ? so heart felt, aching for finding that special someone. If that?s not enough, he leads into ?In Your Arms,? which repeatedly says ?I need your love.? We all know that we?re not getting the love we need, and Doc shares this idea so fluidly that its so real.

?Sounds You Can Feel? is so true. As a true dance believer, this mix is rich with wonderful tracks and Doc?s mastery to fill its canvas with each delightful stroke - penetrating deeper and deeper until you explode with exhilaration. This is one CD mix I will keep coming back to for more, and more, and more? How lucky I was to be able to see Doc at the CD Release party at Giant (even though my t-shirt was missing even though I carefully hid behind the stacked chairs near the kitchen). It was soooo good and healing to see Doc after almost 10 years since his parties at the Hong Kong Club. Forever in the faith!
