Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Tomiie’s house music resumé is impeccable. His record label of eighteen years, Def Mix, has been home to genre gods such as Frankie Knuckles and David Morales. But despite this pedigree, Es peters out about three-quarters of the way through. Fans of Danny Tenaglia’s dark DJ sets will go into comfortable autopilot with this, but most will consider it an underwhelming exercise in genre clichés. There are too many looped vocals about working one’s body (Roach Motel’s “This Beat Is Mine”) or working someone else’s body (Chab’s “You and Me”). House fans would be better served picking up Tomiie’s 2000 album, Full Lick.
