Motorcitysoul

The indomitable Matthias Vogt, aka DJ Matt asks "did you expect that?" on this, his debut house album, and the answer is: no way man! This is an outstanding recording of down-tempo house, UK garage and jazzy soul. Did You Expect That? will quench the thirst of its listeners on a multiplicity of levels. First off, if your thing is down-tempo soul with sultry vocals, it's covered on "The Dream," if you like a little deep house, "It's On" will fill that void, and if you long to hear quality UK garage then "Take a Look Around" is waiting for you. Did You Expect That? is just pure unadulterated fun; sure the lyrics are at times thin and the beats perhaps a tad simplistic, it still manages to remain an alluringly pleasurable listening experience. With this being Vogt's premiere full-length album, if he continues, we're sure to have the privilege of many more releases, although next time around, we'll already be expecting all that he asks on this album.
