Future Classic: KV Records Presents “A Vibe Story – 2014”
KV Records is a label out of France conducted by Kool Vibe. With four releases strong, it’s becoming quickly one of the finest purveyor of authentic yet contemporary 90’s influenced House music imprint. But this is no surprise. One listen at Kool Vibe mixes (https://soundcloud.com/kool-vibe) and you can tell right away that he has a strong background and love of this music.
Following three stomping releases that sounded like they could have been released between 1992 and 1995, this time Kool Vibe showcase people that are keeping that pure House sound alive. First, Washerman takes us back to an atmosphere reminiscent of those first Large records 12″ with “Chicago Nights”. A deep ride that flows sweetly. Then Sunny Galaxy steps up with a Jersey-ish track fill with screamy vocals snippets and keys that actually reminds me a bit of some early Nice & Ripe projects. Next is Inner Sense with a very heartfelt tribute to UBQ Project. Aaron Smith is actually providing a keyboard solo here. The sound is intact and this could just be a lost DAT from the Vibe Music days. Last but no least is Kool Vibe himself hitting hard with one of his crazy stormer track. His distinctive production style is in full effect here with chopped up vocals samples, skippy beat, keys and organ that create a perfect mood. No gimmicks, long breaks or tired formula here. Just a good old authentic slammin track like they used to do them back then.
If you’re uncertain about this whole 90’s sound explosion that’s been around lately, I strongly recommend this EP. It stands tall against all the mimicking that’s all over. You can definitely hear the passion and devotion behind the music. Something that’s often lacking nowadays in the Deep / Soulful House scene. An essential release for 2014.
