SpectraSoul - Play The Fool feat. Jamie Jooste

Label: Shogun Audio
Score: 8/10

New music from Spectrasoul is like getting a visit from a fit buxom brunette; always welcome. The pair have been a little quiet but get back amongst it with Play The Fool. You can always rely on Jack and Dave to keep things musical and this is no different. Subtle piano keys and shuffling percussion lay the backdrop for the harmonious vocal flexing of Jamie Jooste, who’s harmonies blend it all together seamlessly. Spectrasoul’s knack of utilising pads and atmospherics is what sets them head and shoulder above many in D&B, giving their music a spine tingling edge that others sometimes lack. Bugsy is a more eyes down, less euphoric affair but still retains that soulful essence. Rolling bass stabs, filtered guitar licks and ethereal harmonies are all at play here, Bugsy providing the perfect foil to its A-side companion.

Shogun Audio’s lead pairing yet again submit quality music for your aural delectation. So do your ears a favour and say yes to Spectrasoul.

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
