Review: When executed with spine-tingling precision, there are very tunes that don't benefit from a good dose of strings and pianos. Throw in a beautiful soul-stirring vocal and you have yourself a universal smasher that will make grown men cry, dogs hug cats and, in rare cases, politicians not be corrupt. "Alive" ticks all of those boxes. File for those smoochy sessions towards the end of the night and win over every couple on the dancefloor. For added beef UKG ledge Sticky makes a rare appearance and flexes his triplet skills while Dismantle rips the soul out of the record and re-installs it with pure filth. Something for everyone.
Review: The thing we love about the Local Action imprint is that they genuinely keep us guessing every single time with where their next release is going to take us. This time around, they pull together a monumental collaboration as the ages of UKG collide in style. DJ Q & Hans Glader, two of the most talked about names across different eras of garage music, are joined by the unmistakable vocal marvels of Shola Ama for this wavy singalong entitled 'I Can't Stay'. There is something so appealing about this one's combination of organic sounding percussion and ethereal pad textures, in between which Shola's magnificent vocal sits perfectly. It's a summer singalong for sure!
