Details: Amazon.ca DJ Dan’s follow-up to 1999’s Funk the System doesn’t have the jagged vibes of that record, employing a lighter touch and an ear toward trance techno’s particular sense of flow. But unlike the crystal-clear music of trance gods like John Digweed or Chistopher Lawrence, DJ Dan’s mix has a dirty urbanity about it that gives it an appealing street smarts. It’s a fine line to walk, since too much down-and-dirtiness will turn off those who like their trance to soar in the clouds, while not enough will alienate subterranean club dwellers with a soft spot for the old school. Still, Dan manages it, especially working with slam-dunk material like Carl Cox’s « Dr. Funk » and influential progressive house from Eddie Amador, whose approach typifies the uncommonly funky blends found on the Yoshitoshi label. As smooth and sumptuous as trance music can be, it’s a pleasantly jolting slap upside the head to hear a DJ with a velvety touch for dance-floor vibe mix in a rougher, house-flavored edge to the proceedings. –Matthew Cooke
