This is what you will find on CD1 :Nothing like a memory provoking classic to set the focus for your compilation, Quality ‘class of 94’ Morales treatment on the gospel great Donna Allen’s “Real”, the blend sweeps nicely, 4 tracks in and we’ve built up to a Monumental moment in Gregory’s production career, as the triumph that is “Elle” grips with it’s sultry emotive groove. The premiere league audio drives on with Kenny and Louie’s sunrise rousing remix of SIIS’s “Back To Life”. Greg and long time studio cohort Julian Jabre, kick back and let off the midnight groover that is “Foulchette”. ‘Masters’ once again rears as he unfurls the inspired broken beats of Incognito’s “Jacobs Ladder”. Epic is one word, add proportions and your half way to Next Evedence “L’Adventure”. What fitting way to draw that first adventure to a close than with the timely classic “Déjà vu”, you’ve never been here before, but you’ll be back…

On CD 2 : Like the theme from a cult TV series, Gregory’s Anthem ‘Tropical Soundclash’ opens up disc 2’s ceremony. ‘Sookoos’ is yet another exclusive cut that graces this selection as we hear Gregory in fine Afrique mode. As if he was reading the dance floor, Gregory’s trademark programming genius is again apparent with the self penned ‘Afromobile’ and in the space of 2 minute you lose yourself again. The runway is layed for one of his most inspired productions to date, the disco dominating ‘Joburg Theme’, distinctive beats ensue with MAW’s The Ha Dance’, Dennis ferrer’s “Hit it Off” hits the stereo and the magic begins true satin sheets Disco style. Closing the show with Greg’s exclusive ‘Tribylendro’ edit, fusing his DJ essential “Triby” beats with the porntastic “Don’t Know Malendro”.
