This is Volume Two of a compilation series inspired by the visual setting at Sheer Rocks, an idyllic open air restaurant on the West coast of Antigua. Volume One, released last year, was a compilation of music that gave a sonic window into the venue and it's surrounding views and atmosphere.

 

For 2017 Alex & Kate Rocks have worked along side chill-out legend Afterlife to build on the success of Vol. 1 with a new set of atmospheric gems. The selection opens with the chuggy, acoustic bliss of Micko Roche’s Bleu and then immediately the tempo drops for a vocal treat from Neve with the track 'Sun Ray'. Next Ambala aka Phil Mison delivers a more percussive sound this time with an African twist. Our curator steps up with 'On Being' before making way for DJ Pippi’s reggae tinged 'Mr P’. DF Tram, Mashti and Kid Stone keep things cool before Mike Boorman’s ‘Consequences’ switches things up. The Bongo Entp's cover of Henri Mancini’s Lujon is included with Green Carrot delivering a remix that’s strong on mid tempo balearic shuffles, leaving the way clear for No Logo and another appearance from DJ Pippi this time with the opening party favourite Dangerous, before the album closes with ‘Dollybird’ from Bent producer Simon Mills.
