Always hitting the mark for quality Phil Driver has put together another batch of top tunes for Vol 2 of this series. 14 tracks featured here on a CD that will appeal to lots of different listeners.

With Artists from the UK ,US, South Africa & Europe included, the CD gets going with 'Natural' by Nash Reed that has nice vocals over a funky beat & Hand claps!! 'Don’t Take Me For Granted' follows with it’s strong bass line from UK talent G.L.O.'Keeping The Funk Alive' by Calumet & 'Stepping Out' by Maxi are tunes that press all the right buttons whilst 'Madrid Boogie' by Spanish Band Venueconnection give a nice element of difference to the Album in a sort of Acid Jazz kind of way!!

Sean Miranda’s 'Dig It' takes care of the R&B side of things very well & 'Club 44' moves more towards the dance style. Other tracks included are 'Breakthru' by J-Funk, 'True Love' by Muthafunk & Judderbass feat Joanna Brown with 'Everbody Knows' All in all a good solid CD that make you look forward to Vol 3!! Recommended.

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.
