Angel is the latest soulful release on Londons Tribe Records from the talented South African production duo Liquideep. Taken from their debut Fabrics Of The Heart, recorded at the Isondo studios in Johannesburg, Angel is a beautiful ode to women and the blessings they bring. Ziyon performs an emotional heart warming vocal drizzled over soothing melodic rhythms with warm sweeping keys and a tear jerking piano performance. Also on the package Baltimore house legends DJ Spen & Gary Hudge deliver some bouncy urban house mixes for the dancefloor, whilst UKs young darling of house Sean McCabe offers a classy deeper workout and Tribe label boss Zepherin Saint works his signature afrocentric rhythms laces with sweet melodies.
