Charles Ostrov, Blueberry – MINERAL06

The Mineral Cuts label looks back through the fine discographies of Charles Ostrov and Blueberry here and serves up one track each from the mid-nineties. Ostrov is first with 'Annoked' from back in 1998 originally on the World Of House label. It's a big house cut with lithe synth work and nice loose jumbled toms to get the floor in a lively groove. On the flip, Blueberry's 'Can't Hold It' from 1996 on Orange Records is a dynamic and powerful house cut that leans into garage for its inspiration. Add in some celebratory paint chords and you have a timeless good time anthem.
