There is sometimes a fine line between uplifting happy house and a dance compilation à la MC Mario. These 15 tracks teeter somewhere right in between, with an added dose of soulful disco provided by tracks from Groove Armada as well as the Funk Bandit.

Unlike the pulsating heavy beat drone of Andrea Dorias "Bucci Bag, Junior Jacks "E-Samba leans heavily on the commercial dance realm of electronic music. Its a solid effort for what its worth.
