House Blend is one of the worst titles imaginable for a series of compilations, especially since each volume in the series is a mix of house music. It's also not particularly wise to make some sort of connection to coffee -- a couple of the volumes require that kind of energy boost in order to remain alert while listening. DJs
Work and
Rip handle the duties for the fifth volume, and much like the other mixers in the series, they tend to allow each track just over a minute's worth of playing time. So, if your aim is to obtain specific tracks included here, you'd be better off hunting down track-in-whole compilations, or mixes that allow each selection to breathe more. Nemesis' "Tweaked Rhyme,"
George Centeno's "Hard Rocking Beats,"
Angel Alanis' "Magick Musik,"
Men at Work's "Another Dimension," and 4 da Headstrong's "More" are included. ~ Andy Kellman
