Private Dancer [LP]

Johannes Albert - Private Dancer [LP]

Welcome to Private Dancer. Acclaimed producer Johannes Albert returns with his third club album after six years -- his first on Permanent Vacation -- and it's a statement. The album stars a sound that was always in him -- called house -- something that moves the body and warms the soul. Collaboration is key. London's own Helen Salvin graces "Wide-Eyed" with her magnificent voice where midtempo meets a subtle boogie. Things heat up when Biesmans jumps in for the infectious, up-tempo "Get My Gee." And when longtime friend Iron Curtis lends a hand, the title track "Private Dancer" melts into subliminal grooves. Expect classic material, like the Arp-tinged "L'Chaim," alongside unexpected weirdness -- see "Patterns Everywhere." The life affirming "My Kind" leaves you with nothing but positive vibes while the Pepe Bradock styled sampling of "Follow The Strings" goes sincere all the way. With 15 years of releases and 25 years behind the DJ booth Johannes Albert masters the balance: house music that's always classy yet still offers a modern twist. Private Dancer showcases 11 tracks that are well crafted -- refined yet understated. A1. Angel Anthem_x000D_ A2. Wide-Eyed (feat. Helen Salvin)_x000D_ A3. Get My Gee (feat.
