Amsterdam-based Shinedoe has carved a name for incendiary DJ sets and sublime future-funk on her Intacto label. Now comes one of the ultimate accolades – supplying a mix for the venerable Fuse club’s series which has already thrust forth belters from the likes of Dave Clarke, Hell and Joris Voorn. This is how you do it, a proper jouney, starting with the subterranean deep house of Substance & Vainqueur’s ‘Reverbrate’ then gliding through an exemplary selection including Ron Trent & Chez Damier, Roy David Jr, Daniel Mehlhart before subtly upping gear into Denis Ferer and Minologue. The lady’s own ‘Dialogue’ makes a shimmering appearance before a breathtaking home stretch sees the Wink mix of Harry Romero and Robert Owens’ ‘I Go Back’ mating with UR’s euphoric ‘Final Frontier’ before Gui Boratto’s ‘The Blessing’ lays it down to rest. Afterwards you feel exhilarated and all the better for having experienced one of the great mix albums.
