Saeed Younan Highly Anticipated "Spotlight 2" Continuous DJ Mix Forthcoming on KULT Records

New York, NY, October 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Spotlight 2 takes you closer into Younan’s world. A Work Your Body, funk session that commands attention. Beginning with Marshall & Libex's "Turin Quality Clubbing" and quickly seguing to Gabriel Robella's "Underground" and Nikos T's "Move Your Body", the noise here is full-force gymnastic. Dark, pumping, bluesy and funked, Younan's music here recalls Danny Tenaglia in the mid-1990s: serious body working business.

Spotlight 2 plays to house music's much larger audience, the thousands who dance in Europe's arena-sized clubs. It's hard to be lasciviously sexual in a crowd of thousands, but it's easy there to move your limbs, pump your feet, and let the crowd's movements pressure you forward. That's Spotlight 2's world.

Younan's rhythm doesn't let up, but it does progress. From his own "Kumbalha" to Franklin Fuentes's "The robots" (Frank Knight's Remix Instrumental) to his own "Analock," Younan moves from Body Build to tribal dreamscapes (house music staples, but derived from long-ago Eurodisco.) that include his own "Backroom Honey", which despite the title is not at all a sex cameo but a dreamscape lush with atmospherics and high-stepping, prickly percussions.

The CD rolls on gleefully with Alejo Loaiz's "Regresiones," Mastiksoul's "Bofe de Elite," D Rod's "Perpetual Sound," and the rhythm becomes more knife-edged, acid house in texture even as it keeps on stepping. Percussion dominates, horns blare, party noises interject, and all is well. Top club gal Lula's "Twilo" vocal skims over the music -- cool, blissed out. Soulful vocals arise in the noise. Righteousness is in da house.

"In the past year or so, I started seeing things differently," Younan told interviewer Uri Dalal. "I love hearing new ideas, new sounds, and new technology." True enough, and the credo of nearly every big-name DJ. The X-rated Younan of a few years ago may have taken a time-out, but the work-out and dreamscape Younan is, as he puts it, "right here and now."
