Review: VA - Thirty Years Of Freerange Vol. 2 (Freerange Records)

30 years is a long-time and in Freerange Records timezone they're celebrating with 30 tracks from 30 artists on 5 EPs - and VOLUME TWO is now here!

Fast on the heels of VOLUME ONE (see review HERE) and this second set of "a handpicked cross-section of the Freerange continuum from artists who’ve shaped the sound alongside up and coming voices pushing it somewhere new. Different shades, different voices, same ethos: independence, longevity, and an unwavering commitment to the dancefloor and beyond" is equal to the first.

Representing are 'scene' ever-present names Aroop Roy, Coflo and Fred Everything on the A-side team. Roy seems to have been booked to do quite a few Back-2-Back DJ sessions which might be why the track has a spoken word element that includes, "Let's celebrate the things that brings us together.... give thanks to the music and cherish every moment on the dancefloor", 'We Are The People' is an anthem!

Coflo, who had 'Who The Frequency' EP out on Freerange earlier this year (see review HERE) last year gets Rawb Boss to help out on 'Unlocked' and that sythn is wild and free flowing.

Fouk is another artist that we've seen on a number of labels of late including the Heist '100' compilation (see review HERE) after the Dutch duo's 'Sundays EP' - see review HERE) and they're definitely on a rocket with 'Moon'.

Matt Master's track is called 'Everywhere At Once' and incorporates a dream sense of space travel whilst Radic The Myth takes us into a 'Forest Of White Trees' (don't forget his 'Back To You' EP on Freerange Records - see review HERE).

Lazy Days' Fred Everything (who had 'Love, Care, Kindness & Hope' out a couple of years ago (see review HERE) and he provides the kindness of an uptemo 'Elysium' to complete the set.

When you think that there's going to be another 3 Volumes - this is a series you'll want to invest in this summer - don't miss out.
