Uplifting!  Just the kind of compilation album we need more of!  Mark Grant is da Man!  An enchanting celebration of soulful music!

Top Tracks: WHAT I SAY, BACON MOHICAN, RISE, DO IT YOUR WAY,  DECONSTRUCTED HOUSE, TRIP CHICK, UN DIA MAS, TREE OF LIFE

Comments: With bedroom eyes, he graces the album cover and with wicket beats he sets fire to the turntables!  Mark Grant grabs hold of the turntables and don’t let go on his compilation SOUND DESIGN Volume 2.  Hot stuff! Muema’s personal favorite, track 2, where Mark rides BACON MOHICAN INTO THE Mood II Swing classic DO IT YOUR WAY. You go boy!  If you listen closely, you’ll check Mark sneak in RISE by Eddie Amador in the mix. This is not mixing, this is programming.  All you other DJ’s out there take notes, Mark is ringing the bell cause class is in session!

This compilation is so dope, its unbelievable.  My only complaint, track 14, UN DIA MAS is not looped like 15 times. Talk about a hot track!  Smooth as silk male vocal, complementary Latin percussion over a 4/4 riddim.  What?  And then every time you wanna catch your breath, Mark takes you there yet again.  What am I talking about?  Osunlade’s TREE OF LIFE, track 15.  Bring out the toilet paper, cause it’s the shit!  Wow!  An enchanting celebration of soulful music!
