The Osunlade of ‘So Good Today’ came in at 18 in the show and Brownswood Recordings has wasted no time in sorting out another great track for the start of 2007.

Teaming up with his old D’n’B mate from Bristol, DJ Die they’ve got Westbeech’s soulful vocals to make this a radio friendly track ready for some serious playlisting and club spinning. Based on the KISS principles of catchy lyrics and familiar disco tricks, it bangs hard.

There are two more mixes, a Lovers and a Rockers. Now, that’s not lovers rock split but both turn up the pace while keeping most of the vocals. The Lovers version gets a heavier D’n’B mix along with Italo-Disco piano and it’s enough to get you really excited (and is currently loaded on his myspace site - see links below). The Rockers goes all over the place before settling into some computer game synth solo-thing. It might sound a little old-hat but as it’s the longest, I love it the most.

I’m told this is due out “sometime” this month, but the sooner the better. Great stuff and can’t wait to here Ben’s debut album (Welcome To The Best Years Of Your Life) when it comes out in March.
