About this item

More deliciously rich and soulful house music from the rising star that is Vick Lavender who joined by Elbert Phillips for two takes on one theme: "Brotherhood".

Vick's version is a xylophone-led, dreamy house jam; reminiscent of Ron Trent's "Electric Blue" series or Joe Claussell's "Instant House" project. A lavish array of instrumentation greeted by sumptuous female 'ahhs', rising pads and heart wrenching piano chords. Glued together by inseparable shaker and conga patterns.

Elbert's version doesn't stay too far from theme original theme. If anything he adds even more instrumentation - timpani rolls, keyboard solos, more synths! etc - for a bustling and really quite stunning deep house epic that could soundtrack many a 'last track of the night' moment.

Oh yeah and there's even a bonus 'drums mix' for those adventurous DJs who like to mix in that old skool style! ;)

Exquisite stuff by two producers obviously deep into this thing we call HOUSE. Unmissable.
