I just purchased Hotel Costes, Vol. 7, mixed by Pompougnac. I am already regretting not paying the extra dough for the overnight. I have thoroughly enjoyed both Vol. 3 and Vol. 5 of this franchise. Stéphane Pompougnac has served as a DJ at the famous Hotel Costes in Paris. I had the opportunity to have dinner and lounge at that venue 2 years ago. What a swank place to chill. You can tell that it played a heavy roll in influencing the downtempo, chillout, neojazz, cocktail lounge beats that he is famous for spinning.
However, reader reviews suggest that this installment from the Costes series has evolved past his prior recordings. It seems that in Vol. 7 Pompougnac has leaned towards assembling tracks with more grit and thumping beats (i.e. more Minor chords & heavy baselines). This suggest that I may be in for a dance CD as opposed to a Lounge CD. I am down wit dat!
