"MDEX Various: WMC2K3" (feat. SoulXpres, Tapio
Schnaars, TNV feat. Marc Deon, and DJ Naz). Local producer
Marc Deon hands in the latest release for his MDEX label.
As far as this city's hidden gems go, MDEX has so far
been criminally underrated. This 4-tracker is likely
to change all that: Deon's euphoric remix of SoulXpres's
"Commit To Me" comes somewhere between Charles
Webster and Terry Lee Brown Jr. for a nice and techy
deep fix, Tapio Schaar's "A Praia" revels
in the sampladelic steez of Chicago folk like Greenskeepers
and Diz, and TNV's "Love & Dough" conjures
up NYC's Danceteria club with a classy blast of leftfield
dance-punk and who knew it, Marc Deon can sing too!
My pick, however, goes out to longtime DJ Naz, whose
mix of Deon's "Candyflip" hits the spot with
a dose of proper San Francisco tech-house.

The following DJ Reviews courtesy of Rude Awakening:
Cool EP - Each cut is worthwhile in its own right.
-Darren Wall (Various/Update)
I just can't get enough of Love & Dough and I'm
also playing SoulXpres. Quality Package.
-Anton Fielding (Shindig/Disfunktional/Various)
A1 is the mix for me. Nice deep, dark groove... sounding
wicked at the right time.
-Marc Hughes (MOS Recs)
A1... deep house with a bit of electronic attitude.
B2 - nice old school style bleeper... BOTH VERY NICE!
-Red Jerry
A side really strong
-Chris Duckenfield (Various)
Both A1 and especially B2 very deep, late night music
-John Marsh (Various/Fabric)
B2. Loving this mix from Naz. He is one to watch from
the new San Fran Breed. I will be dropping this for
sure.
-Grant Dell (Various)
A1 Quality chunky deep groover
-Charles Webster (Various)
Tapio Schnaars "A Praia" & SoulXpres
"Commit to Me" Marc D! MiX... two hot tracks
that keep the floor grooving
-Roy the Roach (Various)
A2 Quirky Jazz-boogie house, very cool.
-Dave Jarvis
