Come On bounces and jumps straight out of the trap. Intelligent, big house sound, with great keys, silky, relaxed vocals from rapper XL, and a faint percussion that keeps everything grooving along nicely.

What Cha Gonna Do is a vocoder-driven, melodic house number boasting the heavily tweaked, but still incredible voice of Erin Martin. It’s got a blissful retro feel, this one!

Manny’s on vocal duty for the broken beat, soul stomper Bad Like Me. This one’s right back onto the funky tip, but with an intense feeling as the track repeatedly builds throughout.

Last up on this awesome sampler is the ultra-deep, tracky house journey that is Let It Ride. Stripped down, minimal feel with a techy edge too, a little like one of Moodyman’s epic trips! You just want this track to go on and on.

A Fantastic selection from an incredible producer - I’ll be playing these for some time!
