Product Description
Large Music kicks off a fresh new series entitled Get Large, mixed by dance music superstar Roy Davis, Jr. Six years have passed since Roy has released a full length mixed CD; this latest offering from Large proves to be worth the wait. This masterful mix showcases Roy Davis and his trademark style and solidifies his reputation as one of the world's elite DJs. Roy's uncanny ability to program and blend records is legendary and he lets it all go on this one - combining a unique soulful sound with driving, Chicago-style beats.

Get Large features classic Large Music tracks along with several cuts licensed from other top dance labels such as King Street, Ubiquity, and Philly Soul. Kicking off with a funk anthem entitled "My Soul is Electric", Roy builds the house energy through the first 30 minutes of the mix. He then steers into a slightly more Afro-Rhythmic direction with the Quentin Harris remix of "Spiritual Life" by Steal Vybe. Roy finishes strong, throwing in some acid house bits with Kerri Chandler's "Return 2 Acid" and "Set Me Free" by newcomer Chuck Love, before settling the groove with "Sunshine & Twilight". Brimming with energy and soul, Get Large is a future classic and "must have" for any passionate dance music enthusiast!

3 out of 5 stars Could've Been Better, I Thought........2006-08-01

Some of it was good. It got a little monotonous sometimes. Some of it was just kind of...hm...goofy. No, maybe that's not quite the right word. It wasn't really very "pumping" or "HOOYAH!" sort feeling. It just kind of lazily grooves along. Which isn't bad. Some people really like it, and that's fine.
I was kind of dissapointed in it.

Scenario: world-renowned house label Large launches a new mix compilation series entitled "Get Large". The first installment is served up by Chicago icon Roy Davis, Jr. The end result is pure magic! Track One sets the pace with a smooth electric funk (the title says it all). Track Two needs no introduction. Fellow Chicago jock Mark Grant has always been funky and this track is just another example of the "Chicago House Renaissance" in motion. Track Three puts you in a happy mood while Track Four brings you to a laid-back feel. Don't get too relaxed, though. The next track is quite fierce and will get you movin'. The next three tracks flow quite nicely and take you on a bit of a journey. Longtime Large favorite Kerri Chandler brings you full circle on his track. "Return 2 Acid" sounds so old school it's insane. The next track keeps things deep and smooth, while Track Eleven starts that funk again. Now for my favorite track of the mix, "Wonderin'". This track is a future classic! The final track is transitioned with perfection.

This CD showcases Roy Davis Jr.'s unique style and should definitely be experienced.
