Under The Blue CD

Spearhead snapped up Dexcell back in 2015, after being impressed by their digital-only offerings for the likes of Breach, Proximity and Skimrok. This is the fast-rising outfit's debut album, and interestingly features both a 12" (containing six of the hottest cuts from the set) and a full-length CD. Surprisingly, it's a largely vocal affair, with an impressive cast list of guest vocalists taking it in turn to add their soulful tones to the trio's slick, immaculately produced backing tracks. While there are slightly rougher and tougher moments dotted throughout, it's usually only the beats and basslines that are reinforced; musically, Under The Blue remains slinky, soulful and seductive from start to finish.
