Soul Unsigned Volume one is next up this issue, Phil Driver kindly mailed this 14 tracker to me and the first track is a throwback sound from a band called Kre8iv 4ce with a tune called 'She' which opens the set up.

Al Campos have a track here called 'New York Feeling' which almost has a similar feel to Light of the world’s 'London Town.' There are some good mid-tempo’s included by the Excellent Gentlemen, Kaldera & The Black Style Mood.

A Disco influenced track by Dreemtime “Sisco” is a nice surprise on the album and my favourite tune has to be Groove’s Back Productions feat AmariM 'Gently' which is a sort of mid-tempo jazzy groover.

The album is smooth jazz in places too with Yohimbe 'Love ESC.' Great to see independent labels like this & I wish them the very best of luck.

It’s quite an achievement for a night to last five years in the volatile and competitive world of Central London clubbing. It’s even more impressive when it doesn’t sell out musically in order to achieve such a status.
