FEATURES
Electronic mixer Paul Oakenfold’s newest album, “Bunkka,” is high-energy music for all who love house laced with techno, hip-hop, electronic and pop.
After listening to this British DJ’s CD three times, his well blended sounds indicate a musician with experience and vocals capable of keeping heads bobbing back and forth.
The first track on the album, “Ready Steady Go,” is produced by Oakenfold and Andy Gray, with lead vocals by Asher D.
The electronic and techno heavy song is definitely the bounce-off-the-walls track all the clubs will eat up.
The song has no specific meaning, but you just find yourself moving to the beats.
“Southern Sun,” the album’s second track, is more electronic with the smooth pop vocals of Carla Werner, one of the many guests on this electronic compilation.
Her voice is similar to Celine Dion, and is perfect for the mellow electronic music.
Werner’s beautiful voice lends even more significance to the song’s meaning - searching for peace.
The third song, “Time of Your Life,” has a catchy chorus with slamming electronic drums and bass behind the monotone lead vocals of Grant Lee Phillips.
The energetic tunes focus on reaching that point in your life simply known as the “Time of Your Life.” And much like great life experiences, the track is full of energy.
The compilation’s highlight, “Get Em Up,” comes near the end of the album.
