  • Its been a wait between innings for these two to combine forces once again. The last Soul Interactive twelve (Riddem Control / da Warrior) graced the shelves way back in 2000 and was a mighty house weapon for many a DJ one would wager. Go dig it out again and you might well agree. These two new cuts embark on much the same formula, perhaps inching toward deeper and trippier territory. There’s plenty of soul and funk in 'Feel It' with a hypnotic repetitive bassline that would throb happily away in the early part of the night. Perhaps that’s where it rightly belongs because it does little else than throb on and on. 'Sum Bizzniss' has got more hop to it. There’s a lovely shuffly drum pattern that picks up a gear and a short vocal loop over the top of some nice techy effects. Again this tune would work well as a nice building block in getting the crew moving….its downbeat and a little spacey with a nice solid groove. Definitely the pick of the twelve. Dare I say we should expect more from these two?
