Re: Chill House The Finest House Selection By Dj Di Paul 2011

As motivational phrases go, "wake up, stand up" doesn't hold back in telling you shit's gotta be dealt with. 'Wake Up Stand Up' by The Lounge Lizards squares up to hate and violence in the world, with Jill Rock Jones' blinding vocals accompanying the deft string work and bubbling bass and drums. The original's enough of a sweet treat, but this jazzy Kai Alc Vocal Mix tops it for me with subtle pads thrown in acting as a mind-relaxation balm and wriggly, ear-tickling keys. Kai's the guy for those gorgeous house reworks, as you'll also hear here. Dave Turner
Bad mood? Whack this on, turn it up loud and you'll be dancing around the house in no time. A dose of soulful house is always a sure cure for a downer, especially when it's powered by the vocals of Julie McKnight. A year after her input on the aforementionoed Kings Of Tomorrow's vocal house classic 'Finally', Julie released 'Home' on Defected Records. While the original's a made-for-Sundays funk-leaning chiller, the Knee Deep In Club Mix is made for a dancefloor workout to get the endorphins flowing. And, boy, you feel good after hearing it. It certainly provided an epic moment in Fat Tony's set in The Lab LDN. DT

MATTHEW ABRAMSON PRIZE FOR BEST SENIOR THESIS IN FINE ARTS
Established in 1999, this prize comes as a bequest from the estate of Matthew Abramson, a former concentrator in the Department of Fine Arts, who graduated with the Class of 1996. Mr. Abramson wrote a senior thesis on the architecture of Le Corbusier and felt it to be one of the most significant experiences of his undergraduate career. Just two years beyond graduation from the College, and about to enter Law School, Mr. Abramson passed away after a brave battle with cancer. He wished to share his appreciation of the valuable experience of writing a thesis with his fellow concentrators and so endowed this prize to recognize annually the greatest achievement of this scholarship by a concentrator in history of art and architecture. There is no competition for this award; the decision is based on the grades submitted by thesis readers, along with a discussion of the relative standing of the winning thesis among all those written during that academic year. For further information, please contact the Department of History of Art and Architecture.
