Rose Hart - "Gonna Be Alright" (Atlantic Connection remix) - (4:58) 174 BPM
Unknown Artist - "The Other Side Of The D&B Game" - (4:48) 174 BPM
Review: And now for a stepper and a roller of a different type, Focuz dip into their fresh artists roster to pick up two tasty soul-influenced beauties. "Gonna Be Alright" is equal parts stompin' and groovin' with funky guitar and beautiful vocals from Rose Hart. Second track "The Other Side of the D&B Game" takes a smooth, soulful approach, with rich brass and an R&B feel. Velvety. Take a chance if you've not heard of these guy before and pick this up - both tunes are stunning.
Review: One of the savviest axis-flexors in the D&B / jungle game, DJ Hybrid has an all seeing eye across the soundboy spectrum with his two labels and mixed-style signature. Here the full focus is on his flagship label Audio Addict with his first exclusive-powered mix album that covers all the crucial corners. Every track rattles and shakes with energy and subversion: the jungle chaos of his own "Mix & Blend", the iced-out atmos and toxic drop of Swerve's "Massive & Crew", the gunshot bass holes caused by Lost Dynamics "New Funk", the jaw-dropping ruthlessness of Ray Keith's take on "Badboy", the list goes on... DJ Hybrid levels up once more.
