It takes a serious party animal to really embrace the attitude of weekend-long clubbing, but then, DTPM - The Deep & Funky Sound of Sundays is aimed at the gender-bending club connoisseur, rather than the casual townie podium enthusiast. Aiming to capture the sound of the Sunday superclub that's held residencies all over London since 1993, The Deep & Funky Sound... is a double CD compilation mixed by DTPM residents Miguel Pellitero and Alan Thompson, the first disc dedicated to Pellitero's voyage into the seductive rhythms of deep house, the second hosting Thompson's more laid-back set that encompasses everything from pneumatic US Garage to new-wave disco. Pellitero's disc carries the deeper, more hypnotic club anthems like Simon's dark, funky, ingeniously Malcolm X-sampling "Free At Last" and the dusky tribal rattle of E-Smoove's "Welcome 2 The Jungle". But it's probably Thompson's disc that's more evocative of the DTPM experience, comprised mainly of fresh uplifting cuts from labels like Defected, Azuli, and Subliminal -- highlights including an exclusive cut of Bob Sinclair's "Darlin" and the tech-disco Olav Basoski remix of Loverush's "Luv 2 See Ya". DTPM-The Deep & Funky Sound of Sundays says there's no sleep 'til Monday. -- Louis Pattison
