Various Artists We Are VR

This We Are VR 12" takes in four tracks and kicks off with Ben Sun's glorious grass roots house vibe in "Just Living". Having picked up support himself from a disparate bunch including Radio 1, Mosca, Tiger & Woods and Gerd Janson, he's not an artist to be ignored. Francis Inferno Orchestra's "Father Figures" is the Melbourne-based producer's debut for VR and it shows the Wolf Music and Under The Shade artist developing his classy, lo-slung but urgent take on deep house beautifully. Australia's DJ HMC, otherwise known as House Master Cam and one of the pioneers of house and techno in Australia, shows a softer side to his previously displayed personas with the light, p-funk flavoured "Starr Trax". Finally, Tyson Ballard delivers the warm, spacious Sunday-vibe piece of house music that is "My House". Touched with the magic that is Linkwood for the mixdown, it's an infectious piece that draws a fitting end to a superb EP.
