A much-needed full length set from Root Soul - aka Kenichi Ikeda - a Japanese artist who's really been winning our ears with his earlier singles! The groove here is upbeat and soulful - a heavy influence from the UK scene of recent years, particularly that side that's more based in classic jazz/funk modes of the 70s! Vanessa Freeman steps out on two great tracks for the set -- and other guests include Andrea Clarke, Lyric L, Leon King, Shea Soul, and Cro-Magnon - but the core grooves are really what win us, and they feature some great jazzy horn parts dropped in alongside the beats and keyboards - more of a jazz/funk style of instrumentation than the usual Japanese groover.
