Those looking for buzz-saw synths and angular rhythms won’t find it on Cielo’s new compilation; as with the previous four editions, Cinco is an exercise in smoothness. Concentrating on deep and lightly teched-up house, the double CD—mixed by the club’s head honcho, Nicolas Matar, and resdident spinner Willie Graff—floats atop a haze of cottony bass, gentle keys (a Rhodes piano figures heavily) and summery Afro-Latin percussion. But the release is far from bland: The award-winning club has the juice to score some of this sort of house music’s best producers, with Osunlade, Nick Holder, Louie Vega and the acknowledged master of dreamy beats, Charles Webster, all figuring heavily in the sleekly-arranged mix.
