""Traxx From The Nile" is the fifth studio album for acclaimed Chicago garage/ deep house producer Roy Davis Jr. This disc is chock full of deep garage house beats, stumbling breakbeats, funky basslines, organic instrumentation and vocals mostly provided by Roy Davis Jr. himself, (who sings in an amusing Curtis Mayfield-esque falsetto). The problem here is that this album plummets into the trap that so many house producers have fallen into when they release full length albums: repetition. "Traxx from the Nile" is meant for a dancefloor, and not a living room. This album is a real toss-up as far as deep house music is concerned. There are very few "bad" tracks, but also, very few of the tracks truly shine on the grand scheme of things (the only one that really stands out is a Jazzanova remix of "Watch Them Come"). On the other hand, Roy Davis Jr. is a solid producer, who deserves the credit and the recognition that he's gotten over the years. "Traxx From The Nile" is certainly worth checking out if you're a diehard house head, but those who haven't immersed themselves in deep house music shouldn't bother picking this one up. Consistent at it's best, forgettable at it's worst."

"A definite must for house music lovers! Roy Davis Jr. brings a fresh collection of soulful house music. Music with a positive message! His love for the music shows in his productions, "Sweet As You" is amazing along with "Join His Kingdom" & the Jazzanova remix of "Watch Them Come." Another Roy Davis Jr. favorite."
