These lads (and lasses) have been at it for years and I can say without a mili-seconds thought that I think this is the best house label ever to have come out of the UK - ever, ever, ever.
At the time of this review, Ive got about half the releases theyve ever done, which is something I keep meaning to remedy as pretty much every time I buy a release, I discover another talented artist/producer and another 2, 3 or 4 songs that blow me away.
If you like some proper house music then I cannot recommend a better label.

Dare I float the idea that this may well be the best bit of techno to ever come out of Belgium?
In my opinion it is, and I say that in the full knowledge of all (well - most!) that the likes of USA Import, R, Music Man, etc. have had to offer.
The 1st Soul Mix will knock you sideways. It is deep, dark, brooding techno that has a build up that just keeps on going...almost forever. I exaggerate a little with the "almost forever" comment - it takes just shy of 9 minutes for the beat to come in. Thats a proper build up in my book! ...and your soul will return to the first soul!

This release seems to have passed under the radar of most folk; however, I think it is one of the best examples of what the UK was doing at that point in time.
The release could quite easily be categorised as a progressive house tune - though that wouldnt be telling the full story as that would really just be the a-side.
The b-side is another proposition entirely. The tune is absolutely banging. The production is absolutely first class (though the production on the entire 12" is of the same standard). The thing that really sets the b-side apart is the acid riff and also the beats. Its a tune to properly lose yourself to.

For those that dont know, the 3rd track on the b-side: "New Age Bonus Track" is where Sabres Of Paradise got the inspiration for their Smokebelch track. I say inspiration, however, I use the term very loosely as I am not entirely sure that nicking the tune almost note for note count as inspiration.

They did do a good job of it though!

All the mixes are good on this, however, the real stand-out is the "Darren Emerson Underworld Remix."
The remix does sound very much like something Emerson would have produced, however, there is something a bit extra with this one: it has a haunting melody more akin to something Stefan Robbers would do. That added to a bassline to die for makes this one more than worth seeking out.
If I ever do a desert island discs then this would be one of the tunes going with me.
...and the fact that it clocks in at just shy of 10 minutes is a bonus.
