"America's Favorite American DJ"

Product Description
The man is back with a hi-octane mix of funk-fuelled house. DJ Dan hits the gas with his mix on disc 1 but puts it into reverse on disc 2 for a retrospective of some of his biggest tracks and remixes - all remastered and unedited. Something special indeed!

5 out of 5 stars Dan puts the petal to the metal!.......2004-12-23

DJ Dan never grabbed my attention until I saw him live with Donald Glaude at the Quest in Minneapolis. DJ Dan has a real care free and loose, but very energetic style.

He does a great job of giving you the feeling you get at his live shows on CD. I feel this is actually DJ Dan's most well rounded CD as far as track picks go. All of his previous albums are great, but there is always those few tracks that either run on too long or I have to skip altogether. The tracks on this CD run together smooth like butter. No tracks literally jump out as standout tracks compared to his other albums. This is just a smooth, fun, and even mix where all the tracks hold each other together very well.

Also there is a second disc of goodies. Although the first disc is worth the price alone, the second disc is good for both long time and new fans alike. Long time Dan fans can hear rarities and B-sides they may not have heard unless they bought them on wax (which I did). New fans will get to hear several remixes of "That Zipper Track" from the "golden years" of DJ Dan. Many have already heard that song hammered to death on several compilations or mixes. It's cool to take a look back at the song that helped Dan become the forefront of DJ's all over the world. The second disc does not leave much desire for repeat listening. In fact most will only listen to that disc once or maybe twice before the novelty wears off. The true value goes into the repeat listening value of CD 1.

Overall DJ Dan puts the petal to the metal on "Accelerate." He keeps it hard and keeps it funky. This CD gives me energy and leaves me feeling happy. I listen to it to get pumped up for sales in the morning when I am battling rush hour to work. I would recommend this to fellow funky house junkies or anyone who enjoys upbeat, feel good, care free music.

3 out of 5 stars An okay cd from a gread DJ.......2004-11-29

As you read this please keep in mind that I am the type of person that likes Funk House, Disco House and Old House. Any type of house that gets you moving!

If your into the same type of house that I am then this CD probably would not be the best choice for you. I own just about every DJ Dan CD and mix tape and this CD is in my opinion not his best work.

From the start the the cd just jumps around to much with in each track. It reminded me a lot of a slow Bad Boy Bill. The track selection were good but failed to get me moving and were just lacking something. I purchased this CD because I am a big time supporter of DJ Dan and his awsome work. YOU ROCK DAN!

If you really want to see what DJ Dan is all about then you should pick up either "Funk The System" or "Mixed Live". Hell why not both?! Both CDs track selection get you movin N groovin!

5 out of 5 stars This man is a god...........2004-10-17

Simply.... unbelievable... DJ Dan at his absolute best. For people who love to groove nothing can compare to his beats.... this is the type of record you put on and the smiles just keep coming.

5 out of 5 stars dan at his best, other reviewers should take me to lunch.......2004-10-14

Let me start by saying this CD is complete upfront DAN. Dan is and will always be an institution in US dance music.

Some of the reviewers on here however seem to be from some company that either markets or distributes the CD. Just let the music speak, I hate reading reviews and feeling like I'm being sold something.

5 out of 5 stars bad ass.......2004-10-09

Accelerate blows away Dan's last cd recorded at Ruby Skye, "Mixed Live", every song on this cd is on hit, high enegy peak time dance music. This cd takes off from the beginning unlike "Mixed Live" which starts out really slow and doesnt get going until the 6th track. Every track on Accelerate is slamming and as always Dan provides superior mixing skills. Once again Dan does not dissappoint. If you are wondering where Dan gets all his wax then visit IN THA MIX @ 2329 I ST SAC CA 95816 916 442 0499

2 out of 5 stars Not too sure if I like it...........2006-07-09

Okay, I gave this CD two stars for a reason.
They have great beat but they sound like whiney 12 year olds.
And the guys sound... Well, they don't sound right.
And SORRY if this offends fans but, I gotta speak out!
If you want some better more mature singers, try Superchick, Barlowgirl, Zoegirl, Stacie Orrico, John Reuben, Ginny Owens,
and if you're not christian but you like to listen to Jump5 for fun but you want a more mature group/band try Superchick, Stacie Orrico, Avril Lavigne, or No Secrets.
And SORRY if I offended any fans. Thanks Lots! :-)

5 out of 5 stars Amazing !.......2006-03-28

I love this c.d !
it makes me dance loads !
i heard this song is a christian song. im a christian too. I love the song 'wonderfull', i wish i could play it !
i play gutair so i would love how to play the chords !

5 out of 5 stars Agree.......2005-12-31

I agree with jump5fan. Britney's pimp just needs to keep his crap-filled comments to himself. He's probably just jealous of them because he can't sing himself. Jump5 is an awesome group and more power to them!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars jump5fan.......2005-10-30

Album Description

Maid of Gold is a barrage of breakneck drums, dark samples, pulsing bass and destabilizing electronics and may very well be the most accomplished instrumental release in the Mush catalog. For fans of the Thrill Jockey label. All songs by Sixtoo and Stigg of the Dump. Mush 2003.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars - Sixtoo and Stigg of The Dump.......2005-02-26

I'm not sure if Maid of Gold shares many commonalities with Music by Cavelight by Blockhead, but is original in its own right..and in some instances quite a departure from other instrumental hip-hop albums I own. The drums have Sixtoo's flair to them, and the album also feature his accompanying band who assisted the production on Chewing On Glass and Other Miracle Cures. The odd arrangement of instruments really complement the eccentric mood that seems to permeate the album.

It is indeed difficult to classify or articulate the feel of Maid Of Gold, which is why I feel that Sixtoo took the same musical approach to Chewing On glass... The songs are downtempo but rich in places, and indeed the strongest track is the symphonic "when i was your age".

A lot of people I know were not impressed by this album, and found it to be lacking. But like so many other hip-hop instrumental albums, the effect of Maid of Gold really sinks in after a few spins, and is solid. Fans should also be on the lookout for Stigg's debut on Endemik Records set for release sometime in 05.

5 out of 5 stars Not trance, but good, hard-hitting downtempo.......2004-12-16

I honestly really don't know much about the music that I listen to. I don't know what the correct genre is, I don't know if the songs are made with live instruments, and I don't know what words should be used to describe how the music sounds. All I know is that it sounds great to me. Maid of Gold is a great album. The album I could best compare it to is Music by Cavelight, by Blockhead. Every track is very mellow, hard-bass-hitting, and full of interesting sounds from seemingly-live instruments. This is not an album that makes you want to dance; although some tracks will make your head bob. It's great for background music, it's not repetitive, and all of the tracks are unique. The bass is strong, the beats are varied and the tracks were produced well. When first listening to the album, I never heard one track that was too weird or annoying to the extent that it made me want to skip to the next. I give this album 4 stars for originality, good production, great samples, and good solid beats. Because I already clicked the 5th star, I'm stuck with it I guess, but it's still worth checking out. There are no lyrics; the whole album is like instrumental hip-hop. Related albums include Blockhead - Music by Cavelight, Abstrackt Keal Agram - Self-Titled, and The Opus - Breathing Lessons.

4 out of 5 stars Great background trance.......2003-10-19

I got this cd from my friend who is a DJ and was given the cd from the record company. He gets dozens of cds this way every week, and they usually all stink. Villain Accelerate, however, offers some pretty interesting sounds. Tracks flow seamlessly from one to the next, and there really aren't any standout singles. In fact, when i listen to this cd, i rarely think about the music. That's not a bad thing. Villain Accelerate has successfully done what they set out to do: create interesting ambient background trance.
