DJ Skribble's mix for Perfecto offers a more mainstream and American affair than the label usually releases, which may be alienating for fans who always think of Perfecto as the last word in progressive trance.

DJ Skribble's mix for Perfecto offers a more mainstream and American affair than the label usually releases, which may be alienating for fans who always think of Perfecto as the last word in progressive trance. Rather than the theatrical atmospheres and dreamy, widescreen melodies usually found on a Perfecto release, Skribble plays it hard and tribal with plenty of sensuality and a little camp figured in. Diva vocalists are plentiful as are disco strings and phrases like "get up!" and "can you feel it!" Skribble wins by keeping it simple and pointed directly at the dancefloor while weeding out the more gimmicky tracks the mainstream house genre is cluttered by. Big hits like Deep Dish's "Flashdance" and Club 69's "Twisted" are offered in more stripped-down and dark mixes, and a couple new Skribble creations are only available here. Perfecto regulars looking for that headphone journey might want to sample this in-your-face mix, but sweaty clubgoers who just want it hard and hypnotic should be more than happy. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
