Strictly Music Miami 2012′ features 5 new tracks from artists of the house underground family from the UK to South Africa. These include Soweto production duo Alpha & Omega ft Aubrey Black, who delivers a sublime spoken word on the lush, deep and afrocentric ‘Unknown Beauty’. In addition, Strictly Music’s label boss Pat Bedeau teams up with Episode Records boss, Kenny Large and vocalists Shishani & Correspondence on ‘Synchronicity’ which is beautifully remixed top French producer, Nassau. Also featured on the sampler are 2 productions from The Trak Godz, aka Pat Bedeau, DJ Romain and Alex Toms, who deliver a cool bouncing garage fuelled instrumental, ‘The Darkness’ and the soulful house outing ‘Street Walker’. ‘Street Walker’ features the vocal delights of UK soul sista Natasha Watts and US spoken word princess Rainy Paine, remixed by London’s Dougi Dwongo. To finish off the package live and direct from the Middle East are Soulful Sessions (aka Simon ‘Schoolboy’ Phillips) ft. JJ with a lovely souldrenched house outing ‘Secret Passion’. Big things ahead for this label methinks!
