has dared to be different by uniting a wide range of remixers from all music genres for this project. The album brings remixers from hip hop, drum and bass, house and jazz in an attempt rework some new tracks and club anthems.
As I’m not familiar with Mr Ayers and his work, I listened to this CD with equal amounts of trepidation and excitement. After the first couple of tracks, I’m happy to announce that my excitement was well deserved as this album brings more than I expected. It’s very rare to hear so many different styles, genres and artists on an album that isn’t a compilation.
Even if you aren’t a fan of some of the genres mentioned above – which I’m not – this album will question your preconceptions of them and it may open your eyes to music you would never usually listen to. Amongst the ten top tracks on “Virgin Ubiquity” there are a few that stand out the most. ‘Touch of Class’ is a smooth jam that would fit in perfectly at a wine bar or your Sunday morning routine. Though if your looking for something to get your Saturday night started then I challenge you to listen to ‘Liquid Love’ without tapping your feet.
There aren’t many people in music who can give you something you never heard before but “Virgin Ubiquity” achieves this. Originality speaks for itself and has just proved it.
