Compiling the follow-up to a very successful first album is always a tricky
task, but just 12 months since the release of volume one in the 'With
Love' series, miche has excelled himself once again with another
glorious, deep dive into the world of rare soul. 15 tracks of independently released music, created by magnificent artists with
stories to tell and primed for rediscovery.


The ambition to celebrate under-the-radar artists has remained, but instead of a
facsimile of volume one, what we have here is a selection shaped by life changes.
Volume two is for the dancers; still soulful, still ultra-rare and slept-on records
from the USA, Chile, Brazil and beyond, but the dynamics of the collection have
shifted slightly. It represents a move from being immersed in a week in week out
environment of beautiful, soulful music in a cosy, dimly lit hi- fi bar to playing
livelier, more energetic, dancefloor-focused music in nightclubs. This volume will
get you on your feet, make you move and unleash whatever it is that makes you
get down.


One of the jewels in the crown of this compilation is a joyous, anthemic gospel
version of Stevie Wonder's 'As' by The Family Tree (a project produced by the
fantastic Julius Brockington). We are also treated to a rare and sought- after
Pennsylvanian funk / AOR bomb by Maxwell, a stunning modern soul tune 'High
On You' by Freedom, and self-released Brazilian 45s by Banda 22 and Ze Da Lata.
P.J. City's 'Straight Forward (Non- Stop)' is gospel- disco perfection, and we also
have 'Dame Solamente Amor', a sublime, soul beauty from Chile by Rogers
Mitchell. Many of these artists featured in this compilation aren't household
names, but they deserve their moment to shine, to be heard, loved and
appreciated for their artistry.
