With three previous albums under his belt (Alex Cortiz - 1997, Moodfood - 2000, and Make Believe - 2001) Alex (aka Aad de Moy) has spent the last twelve months in the studio crafting over two dozen new tracks ranging from slow burning grooves to mid-tempo dance floor pleasers. The cream of the crop of this effort is collected on his new album "Mesmerising".

1. No Strings Attached
2. Schmooz
3. Sexy B.
4. Déja Vu
5. Run Baby Run
6. Midnight Paris Café
7. Enter The Matrix
8. Lemon Sunrise
9. Ambiophonic Odyssey
10. Chambre 606
11. Flowin'
12. Beau's Theme
13. A-Chill
14. Phunkology
15. Lounge Theme (A. Shrimp remix)

All tracks reflect his inimitably casual yet sophisticated production style, a well-rounded feast of smooth moods and mellow charmers. Expanding Cortiz' palette to include several classy mid-tempo cuts on the house tip, Mesmerising truly is Cortiz's most accomplished piece of work so far, which is saying something considering he is one of the most experienced producers in the business.

Mesmerising stands out as a "home-listening" album for outgoing folks. Ask your friends over and bring on the cocktails.
