Braille – The Year 3000 [RHDC009]
Braille serves up a firing couple of tracks on Rush Hour’s Direct Current sub label…. ‘The Year 3000’ is a vocal house mover that craftily reworks a classic Chicago house vocal and gives it new life back into the future. ‘Leavin Without You’ is built around a heartfelt vocal soul sample, which cuts in and out of the mix leaving room the music to take off leaving planet earth. Braille creates a perfect balance between the old and the new and shows us the way forward.
