Xpress Singles Vol. 1 / Various - Xpress Singles Vol. 1 (Various Artists) [12" Vinyl]

Two original house cuts. One statement. The first release of our new 'Xpress Singles' series, bridging gritty South London soul with slick Franco-American house energy - a release designed for the salubrious moments on the dance floor.'Soulbound' sees Bustin' Loose deliver cutting-edge disco-soul infused house music straight from the concrete textures of South London. Sung and produced by Bustin' Loose himself, the track rides a pumping, elastic bassline with warm strings and raw vocal emotion - modern house with classic soul DNA. Capturing the energy of London's expansive music culture, 'Soulbound' is uplifting, euphoric, and street-wise. Inspired by the music of Fatboy Slim, rappers like JME and Ghetts, and the club culture of London.On the flip side, 'Abracadabra' from Magnolia & Sam Karlson featuring LA wordsmith Relaye drips with French house sensibilities, blending glossy filters, catchy wah guitar, and punchy grooves with razor-sharp rap vocals. Imagine 'Music Sounds Better With You' colliding with the cool charisma of Q-Tip - hypnotic, stylish, and irresistibly repeatable.The remix package pushes the release deeper into club territory:* Dam Swindle transforms 'Soulbound' into a deep, bumping underground roller, rich in groove and late-night atmosphere.* Phil Weeks delivers a signature 'Ghetto Mix' of 'Abracadabra', crafted with his beloved MPC sampler - raw drums, stripped-back funk, and a pure nod to house music's roots.* La Felix closes the circle with a nostalgic, early 2010's-tinged deep remix of 'Abracadabra', balancing modern Polish with timeless dance-floor warmth.Tracklisting:A1.
