Soul Renegades At Juno Download

Review: The eighth volume of Instruments Of Rapture's dependable mid tempo bumps sees the label finally get round to releasing the Soul Renegade jam "Darling". This is a track that's been teasing visitors to Craig Smith's Soundcloud page for the best part of a year! An expert reworking of a 60s Vitamin C infused R&B troupe, amidst the undulating bump Smith drops in some reverberant new jack drum fills which add some rhythmic ingenuity to proceedings. Complementing this is the more upwardly mobile filtered boogie house of "Y'All Won't Let Me" which really finds its feet when the big pianos come in. The same track is endowed with remixes from opposite ends of the contemporary disco spectrum with newcomer Craig Bratley switching down the tempo but turning up the low end fatness with some Kenny Dope style midtempo trickery at play. Faze Action come through with a rattling proto electro version which might just be the winner!
