Review: Reel People Music's annual Soulful, Deep & Dope compilations always deliver exactly what the title promises, namely club-focused jams of the most positive, musically expansive and spiritually enriching kind. This year's edition is a particularly potent collection, with 20 tried-and-tested tracks to devour. Highlights are naturally plentiful, from the tech-tinged deep house soulfulness of Mark Francis's remix of Opolopo and Angela Johnson's 'Stay This Way', and Glenn Underground's wonderfully musically expansive revision of Harold Matthews Jr and Sean McCabe's 'This Place', to the sunset-ready wonder of Matthew Brandy's 'Wish' (featuring an impeccable vocal performance by Josh Milan) and the soulful deep house brilliance of Atjazz and Shea Soul's inspired 'Home'.
Review: With UKG being the undeniable sound of the UK underground dance scene right now, compilations such as this latest box from R U SRS are an absolute gold mine for DJ's across the country, with this particular collection featuring 26 rave-ready belters. Artist wise, the quality level is looking super high, with the likes of Romey, BWK Project, Brent Kilner, Jay Ward and more all lending their hands, with the overall energy levels being through the roof. Although there are a lot of top quality drops to choose from, our highlights would have to include the free-roaming synth warbles of Kusha's 'Be Free', next to Syneater's wonky sound design across 'Feel Good' and Jay Colyer's sub-heavy bumper in 'Don't Want Me'. A very tasty affair.
