Bob Sinclar Live at the Playboy Mansion
Featuring "Get Off My Case" by the Comateens
Review from 3D World Online :
"After exploding onto the commercial dance scene back in 2004 with his massive track, Love Generation, French DJ and producer Bob Sinclar has become a worldwide success and household name. Labeled an international playboy DJ due to his dashing good looks that make all the girls swoon, Sinclar seems the obvious choice to team up with the pinnacle of sexy chic, Playboy, and produce the only Playboy album in almost a decade. Unsurprisingly, this compilation is a sexy seductive mix of disco, soul and house music, for the provocative glammed-up party people who enjoy champagne and the finer things in their clubbing experience.
Featuring well known tracks and rare classics from the '70s til now including T Connection, Daniel Wang, Alexander Robotnick, Junior Jack, Voyage, Afromento along with obligatory numbers from huge names like Grace Jones, ESG and Barbara Tucker, Sinclar, as expected, gets some of his own tracks in, including his new Art of Disco's Ten Thousand Women single. Although nothing unpredicted on this compilation, it is always great to hear some underplayed '70s classics alongside popular hits. Funky, titillating, delectable - Bob Sinclar charms you with his selection, inviting you into the Playboy mansion experience…
