The honorable Benji B and Glen Underground [pictured] have taken it upon themselves to bring another installment in the housey ‘Need2Soul’ mix compilation series. 

What started as underground parties with nights hosted at such clubs as Fabric and most recently the End, has since turned its own label, inspired by all the unreleased material their DJs played.

The first ‘Need2Soul’ album was compiled by house chiefs Ron Trent and Jerome Sydenham earlier this year, and this second installation doesn’t disappoint as an upbeat and dancefloor friendly follow-up. 

Benji B, known for his genre-blending skills, runs the gamut on CD 1 with tunes ranging from underground soul through to Latin and techno, while Chicago native Glen Underground explores the deepest regions of soulful house flavor with some markedly jazzy and African-inspired selections. 

If you dig vocal house in the MAW vein, this compilation will rock your socks.
