Review:
This collection of electronic soulful afro and Latino rhythms from hat-wearing Masters At Work veteran Louie Vega is something of a sprawling epic. The full digital package features no less than 42 unmixed tracks, plus two CD length DJ mixes from Vega himself. It certainly offers great value. Musically, it's pretty on-point too, flitting between all manner of heavy afro-tech grooves (the brilliant Lost Heroes remix of Phil Asher's "Textya"), percussive deep house (Eric Kupper's "Bloom", seemingly the blueprint for every Julio Bashmore record), string-drenched soulful flavas (Peven Everett), snappy Latino beats (Terry Hunter) and Vega's own soft-focus take on Latin and Afro house (various Elements of Life remixes). Well worth checking, even if it will take all afternoon.
