Had to lighten the mood around here somehow.

So here's my mini mix, picked out a few of the tracks to show you what it's about

https://soundcloud.com/arpz/a-little-taste-of-vibes-hattrixx-its-about-time

It's 2018 but it's like Vibes & Hattrixx got the Delorean out of the garage and loaded up the boot with a bunch of RAM expansions for an AKAI Sampler and headed straight back to '94. It really was worth the wait, I can honestly say that there isn't a track that I don't like. I don't know a massive amount about production but there's no way you could've heard this back in the day, at the same time, if you were to hear it back then, it wouldn't be out of place at all.

There's a lot of variety here but without sacrificing a cohesive sound that follows through the whole album. You're not going to hear the interludes in any mix but they work nicely to reprise the previous track and help tie things together. They've not been sparing with the vocals either, plenty of soulful lyrics spread across all of the tunes complimented by awesome piano riffs and all the good stuff you'd associate with hardcore from the 93-95 era.

They've absolutely fulfilled what they promised, it fits the bill to a tee and both Shane & Owen should be proud of what they've delivered. Check out the mini mix and look out for other inclusions in future mixes from me :)

Completely agree with the above - an absolute blinder of an album. It delivers on everything promised and the interludes elevate it beyond a mere collection of tunes and into a "proper" album. Well worth the wait IMO 👍

You'll have to take my word for it for the time being, had a call to take it down ;)

Brilliant album, well done guys. 'Favourite DJ' and 'Avinit' are fantastic. I love the interludes and the mixture of breaks and 4/4.

Really, really good album. Totally captures the sound as intended. More than happy.

I will reserve judgement until Skarr gives his opinion of it.

Skarr is going to smash the shit out of his keyboard when he sees this.
