  • Vick Lavender - The Essentials
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The Spanish label Mate hits double figures with a perfectly blissful and musical slice of deep house here. Vick Lavender does a fine job of taking cues from dons of this form like Larry Heard, Scott Grooves and Ron Trent but adds plenty of his own style too. The percussion on the opener is like Roy Ayers doing deep house, with a glorious bassline and super serene strings bringing the class. 'Solitude' is another heart-warming and life affirming cut with open-air and expansive chords that bring real lushness over a soulful and rolling beat.
