The atmosphere is what forges the bond between the tracks on this compilation. Playhouse sounds sophisticated and elegant in all its facets and colours. Stylish. Regardless whether a record rocks or prefers to cuddle. We can hear the quality and the amount of work the producers put into it. There isn't any cheap showmanship, nothing's overhasty, everything seems balanced. Playhouse records want to sound good and they manage to convey a feeling of certainty that it is a good thing if a track doesn't appeal to you one hundred percent. We sit down on the couch and notice:

The tracks follow one another so cleverly that they don't ever become boring, not even after listening to the record a zillion times - despite having danced to them at the club often enough too. The fact that they're danceable goes without saying, that's crucial. If it says Playhouse on the outside then there must be house in it.
