Mondo Grosso - MG4 DJ Only Album Sampler

Review by Davide Pax

MG4 DJ Only Album Sampler by Mondo Grosso: A Jazzdance Deep Dive That Still Slaps Alright, let’s talk about MG4 DJ Only Album Sampler, the quirky little gem from Mondo Grosso that dropped in 2000. This UK release via Epic Records is a masterclass in blending Jazzdance, Deep House, and straight-up groovy vibes into something you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without. Shinichi Osawa—yeah, THAT Shinichi Osawa—is pulling double duty here as both the producer and music wizard behind most of these tracks (A1 to B1, plus B3 for those keeping score). Spoiler alert: he doesn’t mess around. First up, we’ve got “Butterfly (François K Jazzy Vibe Mix).” If this track were a person, it’d be that effortlessly cool friend who walks into a room and somehow makes everyone feel like they’re at a rooftop party in Ibiza. François K adds his magic touch with jazzy undertones that make your shoulders shimmy even if you're just standing in line at Tesco. It’s smooth, slick, and just vibey enough to remind you why house music will never die. Honestly, every time I hear it, I wonder how something so chill can also feel like an adrenaline shot to the soul. Then there’s “Show Me Your Love,” which hits different. Like, really different. It’s one of those tracks where you think, “Oh, this is cute,” and then BAM—it sneaks up on you with layers of synth and rhythm that demand your feet start moving. The bassline? Pure hypnotic goodness. You could probably use it to cure insomnia or power through a late-night coding session—it’s versatile like that. Also, shoutout to whoever decided naming songs should be this straightforward because sometimes, simplicity rules. Now, full disclosure: this album isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it polishes the existing wheel until it gleams so hard you need sunglasses to look at it. Tracks like “Samba Do Gato” bring Latin flair to the mix, while “Now You Know Better” keeps things grounded with its deep-house thump. But honestly? My brain starts to fizz halfway through tracklists longer than my grocery list, so props to Shinichi for keeping things tight yet impactful. So yeah, MG4 DJ Only Album Sampler might not be the flashiest record out there, but it’s proof that good music doesn’t always need bells and whistles—it just needs heart. And maybe a killer remix or two. Final thought? Listening to this album feels like finding an old mixtape in your attic that somehow still sounds fresher than half the stuff on Spotify today. Who knew 2000 was onto something? P.S. If anyone knows what happened to Shinichi Osawa’s secret stash of beats, hit me up. I’m convinced he’s hoarding gold somewhere.
