Review by Rede Almeidense

Raw Package by Hot Juice: A 1993 Time Capsule of House Vibes and Future Jazz Feels Alright, let’s talk about Raw Package by Hot Juice. If you’re into electronic music with a funky twist, this album is like finding an old mixtape in your attic that somehow still sounds fresh. Released in '93 via Lollop (a label outta Japan), it’s one of those hidden gems that doesn’t scream for attention but totally deserves it. First off, the vibe here is pure house meets future jazz—think groovy basslines, jazzy chords, and beats that make your head nod whether you want them to or not. It’s got that raw energy, like they didn’t overthink it; just laid down some tracks and let the magic happen. Now, I gotta shout out two tracks that stuck with me. First up is "How Deep Is My Love (Crossover Trax)." Yeah, yeah, it borrows from the Bee Gees classic, but trust me, this ain’t no karaoke cover. They flip it into something else entirely—a smooth, hypnotic jam that feels like cruising through neon-lit Tokyo streets at night. The synths are lush, the rhythm’s tight, and there’s this little breakdown halfway through that makes you go, “Whoa, wait, what just happened?” That moment alone? Pure gold. Then there’s "Give Me Your Thing (Club Version)." This one hits different. It’s bouncy, punchy, and unapologetically fun. There’s this infectious groove that grabs hold of you and won’t let go. You can practically hear the sweat dripping off the dancefloor when this plays. What gets me every time is how seamless it flows—it builds and builds until you’re fully immersed. By the end, you’re either dancing like nobody’s watching or sitting there wondering why you’re not. Honestly, Raw Package feels like a love letter to late-night club culture, but it’s also kinda quirky. Like, who names a track “Gaku’s Groove”? Props to Gaku, whoever you are. And props to Hot Juice for making something so effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Reflecting on this album now, it’s wild how these tunes from almost three decades ago still slap. Maybe it’s because good music never really ages, or maybe it’s because we all need more albums like this—ones that don’t try to change the world, just give us a reason to move our feet and smile while doing it. Either way, Raw Package is proof that sometimes the simplest things leave the biggest impression. Oh, and random thought: if aliens ever visit Earth, I’d play them this album first. Just to show ‘em we know how to party.
