Already ticked off labels such as Cocoon, Ovum Recordings, Bedrock, Poker Flat and Planet E. Glasgow’s Vince Watson starts 2015 where he left off last year. With his next release ‘Eminesence’ being released on the Osunlade’s legendary Yoruba Records. Setting drop on vinyl and digital on 2nd and 9th March.

The Glaswegian opens the release with ‘A Moment With Lonnie’, an ambient number that tenderly commences courtesy of twinkling notes and spectral atmospherics. ‘Eminesense’ then rolls into play with a funky analog bassline that is later accompanied by a poignant piano riff whilst serene percussion augments a Balearic edge to the equation.

Bongo drums and shuffling hats quickly establish a tribal vibe in penultimate cut ‘Calypso’, whose melodic groove and jubilant keys will no doubt inspire notions of endless sunshine and hedonistic times. Concluding the release is a cordial masterpiece named ‘Under The Skin’ that ebbs in gently with the use of sultry strings and a soothing piano riff ‘ altogether a truly considered release from Vince Watson and a testament to his boundless production abilities.
