Review: Based in Italy, Micky More and Andy Tee's Groove Culture label have been flying the flag for soulful house, contemporary disco and disco-house since 2017. Now here comes a second compilation of Instrumental mixes from their illustrious back catalogue, which follows on the heels of Vol 1, released back in 2022. The label bosses themselves contribute three of the album's 20 tracks, with the likes of Ron Carroll, Kathy Brown, Mr A.L.I, Da Lukas and Dutchican Soul also featuring alongside a wealth of more underground names. Expect rolling beats, fat funk basslines, sweeping, surging strings and handclaps galore, with highlights for this reviewer including Martina Budde & Husky's organ-rollicking 'Open Up Your Mind', Dutchican Soul's 'You Bring Joy' and More & Tee's own 'So Wide Open'.
Review: Italian duo Micky More & Andy Tee (real names Michele Mingo and Andrea Tonici) team up with Reverendos Of Soul (which is actually Tonici again, alongside Giovanni Ceccati) and vocalist Anduze, who's worked with the likes of Art Of Tones, Satin Jackets and LTJ Experience as well as releasing two albums in his own right. The product of their joint labours is a classic-style soulful/disco houser with an infectious "I'm so devoted to loving you" chorus, Latin-infused percussion and a pleasingly hefty, live-sounding b-line that's surely destined for singalong status on soulful house floors for the rest of the year.
