Proving an extraordinary outlet for pure soulful house and unadulterated dance music, Foliage Records continue their remarkable start to the year with their sophomore release of 2011, We Cant Loose. We Cant Loose is the striking culmination of Bandys continual progression and evolvement as an artist and producer. In an era of mechanized and synthetic sounds Bandys pure and wholesome incorporation of live instrumentation not only provides a much needed breath of fresh air into the world of House, but an authentic, refined and compelling exploration of his intensifying harmonious growth. Seamlessly interweaving passion, originality and innovative dedication Bandys creative output is unmatched; deceivingly imaginative whilst remaining fundamentally coherent. The underpinning element of We Cant Loose is the graceful vocals of Adrianne Archie. Drawing from a history of Soul, R nB and Gospel Archies organic interpretation creates new life within the track; meaning upon meaning, layer upon layer. A flawless partnership, the duo produce a reflective inspiration, one which evades the relentless force of the contrived elements found within contemporary house music. "The music speaks for itself. Every time I hear it I want to get going, both to do and be something positive in life. Nothing can stop a person that has a winning attitude. When people are willing to join together in love and work with one another something beautiful will take place. Love inspired me." Adrianne Archie "As soon as we finished the vocal I knew it was something special. I wanted the track to to really encompass what the lyrics where about and give it something special. It's one of those pieces that no matter how many times I've heard it, it just doesn't get old. It's a message everyone can relate to, and when done right you can hear it again and again. Everytime its played it always grabs the attention of the crowd, people coming together on the dance floor smiling, its exactly what We Cant Loose is about. I couldn't be happier with the project and the collaboration of everyone involved." Matthew Bandy With another astounding release to their name, Foliage Records undisputedly reinforce their presence within the underground dance world. Offering a passionate channel of creativity, ingenuity and artistry.
