œ Since their first forays into electronic music back in 2006, Spectrasoul have become one of the most prized production duos working in the scene today. Exclusively signed to the world-renowned Shogun Audio, Jack Stevens and Dave Kennett effortlessly draw natural soul and musical progression through all of their work and as such have seen their discerning fanbase rocket around the globe. Now their utterly stunning debut solo album is ready for all to savour, a mesmeric journey into glistening electronica, deep house and drum & bass, all sewn together with trademark melodic mastery. Ladies and gentlemen it™s time, ˜Delay No More™. œšWithout venturing too far from the sound we are known for, we have experimented with tempo, sound pallet, and arrangement to provide the listener with, what we think is a well-rounded and coherent piece of music. Revisiting some old ground, pushing some new ideas, as well as sewing the seeds for new pastures, we believe that ˜Delay No More™ is a true, and honest statement of intent, as well as a milestone for us, and our sound. It is a reflection of where we've been, a glimpse of the here & now, and a sign of where we're going, musically. œDrawing influences from our broad spectrum of musical taste, we aimed to find a happy medium between writing functional and self-indulgent music and we hope that the resulting tracks are a testament to this ideology. Ultimately, it is honest, expressive, and devoid of grand concepts or preconceptions. œDescribed simply, ˜Delay No More™ is an outpouring of our thoughts, ideas and personalities that have been collected, curated, and bound; We want the listeners to immerse themselves in it and decide what it means to them, and take from it what they will. œ We sincerely hope that you enjoy it.›Jack & Dave  Spectrasoul Tracklist: 1.
