Review: Bralan Arias' latest unfolds with an effortless ease, blending electronic rhythms with organic soul and jazz influences. 'Childhood' opens the album with a warm, steady pulse, immediately grounding the listener in Arias' signature styleigroovy yet meditative. 'Life Is Like Jamming' follows with a playful, laid-back vibe, the rhythm section driving the track forward while intricate percussion adds texture. The track 'Noir Bogota' brings in a darker tone, underscored by jazzy chords and syncopated beats. Throughout, Arias moves between deep, soulful melodies and playful rhythms, offering a cohesive and engaging listen. 'Come Mornin' (featuring Sandra St. Victor)' stands out with its infectious energy, while 'Nothing But The Music' provides a reflective, rhythmic journey. LTDBLBL 017 offers a fusion of past and present, delivering a sophisticated blend of house, funk, and soul.

Review: Ltd B's good recent run of form continues with another dive into lush deep house realms courtesy of ICTV. First off the mark is 'Hit The Floor' with its US garage-inspired drums and some old school hip-house vocals. 'Orange Mood' is a steamy one with romantic melodies soothing the soul and some smart vocals adding a tough of firey soul. 'Adrift' then picks up the pace with some high-speed jungle breakbeats and 'Dazzling' sinks back into loved-up late-night sounds with expressive vocal yelps. Last of all, 'Sunset Recall' takes things down into blissed out realms with dusty drums and wispy pads.
