Review: With a title such as "The Vibe is Coming", you'd expect this all-star excursion from the Sun and Bass Recordings camp to be chock full of breezy dancefloor positivity. DJ Patife and David WS deliver just that with the soulful reggae/D&B fusion of the title track, which features some wonderfully slick and emotion rich vocals from Fats. Alibi delivers two lilting chunks of audio sunshine: the hot-stepping dreaminess of "Feelings", where piano motifs and delicate horn samples tumble across the sound space, and the notably sub-heavy punch of Command Strange collaboration "Ahead of Me". Simplification and Translate join forces for closer "Don't Forget", a warm and attractive roller smothered in rubbery synth bass, whistling synth melodies and yearning vocals.
Review: Plundering their extensive vault for the best vocal-coated moments, Marky's Innerground label have curated a sweet collection of tried and tested buzz cuts, all tied together with the very best mic-munchers they've collaborated with. A great opportunity to catch up with classics such as the essential summer anthem "LK" and "Breeze" plus lesser known (but equally essential) rollers such as Marky and AI's gorgeous "Shame" and Bcee & Lomax's jazz-tinged "One Year On". Vocals can be a tricky beast in D&B but Innerground have nailed many over the years. Here's proof.
