Various Artists - 8/10
Homieland Vol. 2
It's no secret that we love Bromance. Their output is consistently excellent, always pushing boundaries and always brilliantly produced. With Brodinski running the show, the roster is ever-expanding as more new artists are welcomed into the family.
Last year the imprint celebrated a massive year with 'Homieland Vol. 1', so what better way to start 2016 than with the second instalment in the series? You know the drill by now: loads of new music from the label's friends and family, and there are a couple of huge standouts.
Maelstrom terrifies with the pulsating 'Arteries', Gener8ion stabs with the grand 'Malibu' and Jensen Interceptor threatens with 'The Fontainebleau', a nostalgia-flecked electro cut that exudes 80s swagger.
The Club Cheval crew, fresh from finishing their debut LP, are all on fine form, as is the label boss himself on the outstanding 'Woah'.
Another great outing for the French high-flyers, and one we're happy to be part of.
