London club night Need2Soul have announced details of their second compilation, which features mixes from both Benji B and
Glenn Underground.
The Need2Soul label has been running since 2005, but they only made their first venture into the commercial mix market this year with a double disc set from regular US guests
Ron Trent and
Jerome Sydenham. On
Need2Soul Vol. 2 you can expect yet another helping of deep and soulful house music, this time featuring DJs from both sides of the Atlantic.
UK-based Benji B is a DJ on BBC 1Xtra, a station which dedicates itself solely to black and urban music, and can be found spinning anything from UK Garage to jazz on his weekly Deviation show. Need2Soul regulars will probably be happy to know that there isn't a grime track in sight, as Benji mixes up classic soul and disco alongside African house and techno sounds on his disc.
Glenn Underground's half is a more streamlined take on his jazzy house style, and the Chicago house stalwart even manages to crowbar in some bagpipes (which thankfully doesn't sound as awful as it does on paper) amongst the smooth grooves.
