    Just stumbled across these two records. I'm sure Dzihan & Kamien is
    familiar to most, but does anyone know anything about Cortiz? WOuld
    like to know where this guy is coming from...

    Anyway, Dzihan & Kamien really impressed me. The versatility is
    mind-boggling... I think a review I read put it well, "Think D*Note,
    Tito Puente and St. Etienne in the same studio as Peter Kruder."
    Anyway, if you are not familiar with these guys, check them out.

    Cortiz, then... His worst stuff reminds me of the bland music Cafe Del
    Mar DJ Jose Padilla seems to like -- relatively unexpressive and low
    key -- but most of the tunes have enough of detail and progression to
    remind me of Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fila Brazillia, and the the faster
    tracks compare to Ballistic Brothers and Boozy & Swain's track I was
    talking about a day or two ago... Especially the faster stuff on his
    LP (It is mellow, though!) deserves a listen. If someone has a listen
    of the tune "Real Nice", let me know where I can find more!

    Definitely on my playlist, both of these.

    Markus
