Marcel Vogel feat Mey 'Always Isn’t Only (Soulphiction remix) (Intimate Friends)
For this tight little remix package, Marcel brings in mates such as Soulphiction, Soul Clap, NY*AK and Simba. It’s an extremely versatile release in general, but it’s the super-deep rework from Soulphiction that jumps out most of all. The vibe of their ‘Always Isn’t Only’ mix bounces along with Mey’s vocals riding the groove, before the whole sonic soundscape starts to open out. It’s hard to classify it, but this is an excursion into Afro disco that should end up garnering lots of DJ love on the right dancefloors.
