Bryan G mixes the third instalment of the classy Liquid V Club Sessions series. This double CD feast comprises 33 tracks featuring classics by Lemon D - I Can't Stop, remixed by Zero T. It's an updated, heavier version of the original and although it stays close to the original vibe, it's a tearing production that hits hard.
New Brazilian signings; Level 2 and Acuna bring the heat out of Sao Paulo with Level 2, rolling out sparse, minimal, dubby beats on Going Back the deep, low subs making this a must to be heard in a club.
Liquid V favorites, Mosus and Kabuki, are joined by new boys, Tayla, Furney S.P.Y. Roni Size makes a guest appearance, showcasing new vocalist, Joe on Rolling Stone. This is vintage Roni, on this cover of a classic Temptations track, reminiscent of when he first came onto the scene, chopping up tunes with a fresh approach.
Fellow Bristol native, D Product joins forces with Hollie G who delivers her trademark smooth, yet hard vocals on Tell Me How a rolling, melodic beat that lulls you into a fantasy land even while drilling into you.
Serum and Calibre also make guest appearances, and on CD2 you can catch a few gems you might have missed in the full unmixed version, including Calibre's Drowning & Kabuki's Beyond Words and Mosus & Zero T Call Waiting.
CD2 is deeper in the vibe, and there are a couple of down-tempo tracks from the new blood; Eveson, Mosus and S.P.Y mixing up the flavour a little, but still keeping it Liquid.
This is not just a collection of tunes; it is a complete album that showcases some of the finest D&B talent, both established and new. The track list is mighty, the compilation as a whole; even mightier. Go get it!
