Continuing the highly popular Mushroom Jazz series, Mark Farina goes for late-night purple velvet and downtempo 2 a.m. atmospheres on this third installment, resulting in an electronic release for lounge lizards the world over. A basic hip-hop loop is the canvas throughout this 19-track mix, and on it Farina paints a series of smooth, sometimes shady but always sassy portraits that result in a thoroughly credible, electronically glazed slow-jam record. Opening with the wholly seductive cruise control of "California Sauce" by King Kooba, Farina goes on to introduce the silky-smooth, French lounge of Raw Instinct's "De la Bass," the late-night Manhattan flavors of Herb Alpert's "Flirtation," and the warm Philadelphia evening breeze of Slide Five's "Streamline." In deftly fusing jazz and hip-hop with downtempo beats, Farina has produced a mix that works for thoughtful driving, romantic evenings, and hip soirées. --Steffan Chirazi

Not the best, not the worst!.......2007-07-01

Yeah! Mushroom Jazz 3 is very good, but not as good as MJ2 and 4 which are real masterpieces.
In contrary to volume 5, the soul of Mushroom Jazz is there, with this particular "classy urban ambiance". Excellent track selection as always, but there's a track which does not flow with others in my opinion : Herb Alpert - Flirtation. It's raw jazz, it's not "filtered" and "minimalist" like the other jazzy tracks used in Mushroom Jazz (just remember Pepe Bradock - Un Pepe Dans La Dentelle, in Mushroom Jazz 2, or Fat Jon - No, in Mushroom Jazz 4)
The flow of the album is not perfect but it goes in a right and coherent direction (again, not like MJ 5...really disappointed with this one).
And of course, the excellent voice collage through the mix makes it marvellous and unique...

Favourite tracks : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12 (but difficult to tell you really because the mixing is so good that this mix is like one big track of 72 minutes)

Buy it people, you won't be disappointed! Mushroom Jazz 3 is a perfect interlude between the two masterpieces MJ2 and MJ4...

Great Mix of Cuts!.......2005-11-05

I may have been a bit late when I fell for Om Records artists and releases. I started out listening to some of their Om Lounge cd's in 2000 and instantly fell for the style and sound. After hearing vol 3 of that series I instantly wanted to check out some of their other artists and was pulled into the realm of King Kooba and several others, noticing remixes and just some fresh and unique takes and sounds. Mark Farina is a DJ/Producer on the label that I also got into late. The Mushroom Jazz series now spans 5 volumes, with each volume having it's own unique identity.

I honestly love the tunes on this - what a sensational selection! It's got an urban feel through and through with loads of beauty in the songs. Starting out with King Kooba's "California Sweet", and diving straight into the classy "De La Bass" instrumental by Raw Instinct, you know you're on a journey. Great guitar and flow. After the vocal to Raw Instinct's second edit, you're guided into an instrumental and beats bliss with DJ Presto and Mateo & Matos. This is just the beginning! When you get up to Gripper's "Jazz Cop", the beat kicks and drops, and you're pulled into People Under the Stair's "Schooled in the Trade". I dig that track... and morever I like The Unspoken Heard's "Trackrunners" and definitely enjoyed the instrumental vibe on Que D's "Rock Box"... which is honestly FAR better than the vocal. ALl of this intertwined to the Billie Holiday inspired Jaffa vocal edit of "Sneakin'".

I have to recommend this. It's a mixed cd and is loaded with soul, urban essences and broken beats. To be honest, I prefer the vinyl set just because the tracks aren't mixed but you do miss a few songs with the vinyl package. It wasn't totally flawless, however - on occasion, I think that Jaffa's track was slid in way too much with the other tracks and when other cuts are sampled too much, to me sometimes it takes away from the music. But it's hardly enough to deter anyone from this - check it out and the rest of the series! If you dig this, you'll probably also like DJ Cam's "Mad Blunted Jazz" & hi DJ Kicks, Dr. Bob Jones "Trust the DJ" & maybe Mr. Scruff's "Solid Steel".

Smooth.......2004-12-21

One of my absolute favourites right now!

Stay away from the first in this series of four. The rest are superb...

The best of the MJ collection.......2003-11-10

This one says it best - a triptifying blend of jazz, soul, and R&B elements. I am amazed this is being mixed - it sounds studio-edited - but it really doesn't matter either way. Stick in the player and chill, man.

So Lovely........2003-04-25

DJ Mark Farina did a wonderful job with this third compilation of jazzy hip-hop tracks. It's such a delight to listen to and it easily floats from one song to the next, and all the tracks are good. I find myself playing it over and over, it's impossible for me to get tired of this album. It offers a wide variety of tempos but it's mainly an album one would play for any type of activity, such as: Cruising in your car at night, cleaning the kitchen, just kicking back in your recliner chair and meditating, or simply providing chilled out background music for a party. You can't go wrong with buying this volume, there is something for everybody on this, trust me.

Album Description

The third album from Shawn Lee's popular Ping Pong Orchestra includes fifteen brand new tracks, available for the first time on CD/LP, from kung fu flick flavors to Bombay-bastic beats. While these mood-setting tracks might make great DJ tools, collections for sampling, or music for film, they also make for great listening. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Lee has played and recorded with a diverse range of artists such as Psapp, Coldcut, LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, UNKLE, Tony Joe White, Chateau Flight, The Dust Brothers, St. Etienne, Jeff Buckley, Bomb The Bass, The Spice Girls, and Natasha Atlas. He's also the man behind "The Ape Breaks" and "Planet Of The Breaks" series, which were sampled by everyone from Guru to The Gorillaz. "If you're someone who keeps the six-disc CD player shuffling constantly back and forth between St. Etienne, Ennio Morricone, James Brown, and Percy Faith, then you'll get a huge kick out of this album" - All Music Guide.

Mood music.......2007-06-26

Another great release from Shawn Lee. This music sounds like something you would hear in a film or TV show. It's great for establishing a mood and also makes for good listening while you're driving, relaxing or doing whatever.

for the record it was given to me as a gift.......2002-01-10

This is a okay compilation. the only song that I disliked a lot is the pantera track not because the song is really bad but because I don't like pantera that much. Descendants, fatboy slim, and Fu manchu have the better songs. Loco by coal chamber is somewhat hard to listen to; the "vocalist" can hardly sing! This is a great cd well worth the dinero if you are into cookie cutter warped tour bands.

X-Games, Vol. 3.......2001-12-07

I am rating this album with 1 star becasue I forced myself to choke down all but one of these tracks. Honestly, the only one song that stuck out was the Thin Lizzy cover 'Jailbreak' done by Fu Manchu.

Turn the volume up on this CD!.......2000-09-17

I like this X-Games comp better than the Soundtrack album, only because it has no rap, and I'm a Pennywise and 311 fan. It has the same great energy that the other comps have, so go pick this up. With great songs by Pennywise, 311 and many more, you won't be disapointed.

Kick Ass.......1998-12-31

This album has many good songs from pantra, mighty mighty bostons, pennywise, and more get it now

Wow, this cd is the best dance music cd I have heard in a long time!.......2007-03-01

I buy alot of cd's (my collection is over 500) and Orlando Breakz V3 is probably my favorite. This cd has one of the best track selections I have heard on a cd. All the songs are great with absolutely no fillers. My favorites are Ascension "Someone" and Tony Allen "Take Me Higher". Most cd's I buy have at best 4 or 5 good songs with 10 filler songs. I bought the cd directly from the label so it was shipped quickly. Buy Orlando Breakz 3 and you won't be dissappointed. I also bought the DJ 43 cd which is also very good.

Simply the best.......2006-03-21

This has got to be one of the all-time, best standards to which all others are judged by for Orlando breaks.
We all know we get tired of listening to the same CD over and over because it's so hard to find albums with endless good tracks. Well this is one of those rare CD one never tires of. Get it! You won't be disappointed.

A must for any FL breaks fan.......2003-05-10

The release of this album is certainly delayed. I heard the popular songs from this album aired in Orlando around or before summer of 2001. However, they're timeless. "Take Me Higher" is a great one, as is "50,000 Watts." London's style is feel-good breaks. They make you want to dance, not think. Perfect club music and always part of my collection.
I would reccommend anything else by Dave London, as well. I would reccommend this to listeners that enjoy Icey, DJ X, Sharaz and K5.

is this Just comin out.......2003-01-12

Ive heard this album atleast a year ago. I dont know why its just comin out. Its a good set, ascension is probably the best by far though. Coming from atl, if your a break fan, must get.

Ok................2002-11-29

first of all, im not a huge breaks fan, but i listen to a good amount of breaks. i think this album is ok....but nothing really special. its more for the serious breakbeat fan. the highlights of this album are "someone" by ascension, "red alert" by dj laz, and "take me higher" by tony allen

Album Description

This, the third and final installment of Steve Lawler's dynamic l Global Underground series, Lights Out, is once again about the sleazier side of clubbing, from 4AM backroom bedlam to insane after-hours sessions. This mix shows Steve Lawler at his deep, dark and dirty best!

Steve Lawler is a definitive DJ and producer; a tastemaker whose sets combine quality house music with the power to move dance floors around the world. This essential double CD mix is about those dancefloor moments when a heady combination of sweat, hair raising music, and pounding primal beats drives instincts to a base level where communication becomes a physical display of sexuality! Dance - the secret language of desire and power!

Customer Reviews:

Not a Strong Finale For Lawler's GU Subseries.......2007-07-19

This album is not horrible, but I did expect a lot more from it for the simple fact that it's Steve Lawler AND the label is Global Underground!

Disc 1 has (in my opinion) the three best tracks of the entire album with Ben Wijay's "Wait", "Drop That Bomb", and F.E.D.O's "Happy Days Don't Stop" (Fedo Range Mix). Everything in between is pretty ordinary, but OK.

Disc 2 lacks for different reasons. There are no real stellar tracks, but the first six are enjoyable and establish a nice groove. The set is then interrupted by one of the worst tracks I've ever heard in a Steve Lawler set to date with Drax N Gooding's "ABC". There is a slight recovery with the next four tracks, but then the set completely falls apart at Saints & Sinners' "Pushin Too Hard" (Ricky Ryan Edit) right through to the end.

Both discs get 3.5/5 stars.

Love it.......2005-12-17

Love it. Unfortunately though, after listening to the first disk I accidentally broke it trying to put it back in it's case. Dark. Some tracks are electro-based and it sounds great in my car.

Great Mix!!.......2005-11-12

I have never been a fan of Lawler until now! Great mixing with some fresh dark beats. Do NOT miss out on Disc 3! That disc is the best of the set!

Excellent House Music !.......2005-10-14

Excellent album ! I've heard Steve Lawler in a club twice over the past 6 months, and this album is a good sample of what he's been playing during that time.

Both discs are really good, though I slightly prefer the 2nd one. The tracks that I enjoyed most are "Criss Source - Hugs'n'Kisses", "Axwell - Feel the Vibe" and "Lutzenkirchen - Daily Disco".

Disc 1 is blazing hot, but Disc 2 is barely lukewarm........2005-10-13

Disc 1 opens up with a rather non-descript Lights Out intro, which wouldn't have been missed had it not been there, and then opens the door to some of the hottest, sweatiest, deep and dirty house you will hear right now. Track 3, Mars by Nick K, begins rather innocently until the squelching melody slowly fades in and completely envelops the track. The melody fades out for a moment midway through, and then the next time it fades in, the build up is ecstatic, climaxing in one incredible beat explosion. This is easily my favorite track of the entire set.

Electro artist Trentemoller checks in next with a super remix of Friday. The whisper-like vocals in the track are turned up so loud, you have to turn the treble down or risk ripping through some speakers. It's nuts!

The rest of this disc pours on the beats in sweaty, dirty fashion, with some quirky vocal tracks, and some classic tribal house. Disc 1 really doesn't have a bad track on it, and it culminates with Lawler's buzzing remix of Conjur's The Skeleton Key (Amazon's tracklisting is incorrect).

Disc 2 starts again with the take it or leave it Lights Out intro, and then gets into some lighter house music. Through track 6 is a decent mix, but you never really get the dark, sexy vibes of disc 1 back on track, and by the awful track 7, that and the next 4 tracks are very dull. Toward the end of the disc, the tracks start to heat up, but it ends without ever capturing the allure of Disc 1. Back to that awful track 7: it is a male vocal track where the guy just speaks the alphabet and some blurbs to go with each letter. It is truly an embarassing track.

Now, I wanted to like something on Disc 3, but listening to each track, they were all uneven with awkward melodies, and nothing I could latch onto. I didn't like a single track. It was all a funky house, without a lot of drums, and the beats simply did not move me.

You may even opt to get the regular edition and save a dollar or two, as Disc 3 is just not worth anything in my opinion. I don't know how the packaging for the 2 disc set is, but this 3 disc set comes in a cool looking fold out, glow in the dark cover, but the foam prongs that keep the discs in place are frustrating to use. I am not sure how it is on the 2 disc set.

Overall, worth picking up for the incredibly hot sounds on disc 1!

Not bad but not exactly incredible.......1999-07-28

I have this 2CD it is good but what is odd is that most of the songs are in fact quite old eg 1950 and 1960's music. Highlights are Es Paradis by The Fatman himself and Super Sharp Shooter by Dj hype and Cut La Roc's New York Pimp and Wax Assassins baddest dj on two turntables. A warning most of the songs are quite short.

Lights Back On.......2006-02-23

I loved Lights Out 1 and 2, but 3 was a huge disappointment, even after a few listens. Disc 1 begins with a robotechno caucophony that's just straight up weird, painful to listen to, and runs far too long. The rest of Disc 1 gets better, but it still left me waiting for some climactic crescendos or wild mixing twists. CD2 begins with an equally banal sound, and doesn't get interesting until about halfway through. (In fact, the last half of CD2 is the only part of this set that I ever listen to at all anymore.) Overall, the song choice is pretty blah, and even the mixing seems a bit sloppy and uninspired. It's definitely got Lawler's dark and nasty fingerprints throughout, but it sounds a bit canned, and definitely doesn't meet the standard set by 1 and 2.

Bad follow up to Lights Out 1 and 2.......2005-12-31

Lights Out 1 and 2 were dark tribal masterpieces. 3 is way too electronic, with only one standout song near the beginning of disc 1. When he played at Avalon in Hollywood during his Lights Out 3 tour, he was amazing. I don't understand why this CD didn't have great songs on it. Mix CD's, especially those not recorded live at a club, should be a compilation of the some of the dj's best songs.

My 3rd disc seems to be defective, as only 3 tracks play. Anyone else have this problem?

Hard, Dark, but not Deep..........2005-12-13

If you're a fan of Lawler, tribal and dark, this may not be the album for you. I've been a strong fan of Steve, but this latest CD leaves me flat. Both previous Lights Out albums were dirty and gritty, giving the listener a taste of his Harlem Nights. You could always feel the "Lawler" in them, that tribal sound that we all love.

But dance music has been moving in this direction for about a year, both Sander and Steve have been advocates. Unlike tribal house, this is very cerebral, techy stuff, not a lot of deep basslines, with some seriously screechy moments. While I always love a new version of Saints & Sinners, and Obsessive Sound is a gem, just when I get into this mix, it leaves me cold.

If you're looking for where tribal is going, check out Saeed & Palash, DJ Vibe, Chus & Ceballos or Victor. The Spain/Portugal influences have been good for the progressive tribal sound.

Wow! What a difference from the other Lights Out series!.......2005-11-24

I couldn't believe how great these discs were! I was disappointed by the first 2 compilations in this ever so popular series. However, this time Lawler really delivers.
Each of the 3 discs has something completely different to offer and are all worth a listen. I desagree with one of the other reviewers that said disc 3 is a waste. It is not.

I highly recommend this set. Go pick it up. You won't regret it.

Pretty much perfection in the genre of dark house.......2005-11-08

Now, I consider myself relatively new to the house genre. But I know what I like, and this is most definitely something that is special. From the beginning of cd one, you can get the general vibe of the entire album. It's nice, dark, head-bobbing fun with sexy vocals in some tracks like "Friday" and the "Let's Go" track which I dare say samples a Christina Agueilera Genie In A Bottle lyric.

Disc 1 is more of a party starter. It has that mingling-around-the-club-bar feel to it when you just walk in and hear the opening dj yet decide to look around a bit. It sets a pre-dance feeling. You can almost swear you're walking into a smokey, foggy environment with dim lighting trying to recognize someone.

Then comes disc 2 and it's all about making you go insane. It will leave you jumping with some of the rawest house I've heard this year. You feel like you're within the throngs of well-dressed yet unkempt screaming masses. The sweaty gaggle of twenty-somethings with their arms outstretched to the dj in an attempt to become closer with his heightened state of audio involvement.

The mixing throughout all of this album is flawless. Along with there being an extra third cd and a Harlem mix. Plus, the cd case glows in the dark.

A must-get if you're in any way interested in house.
