Well, what we have here is another label that although is new to us, it’s one that is delivering many of our favourite artists with several of them being household names here on the ward. Swing Set Sounds is the label that we’re incredibly happy to share with you. This bout of happiness is clearly being brought on by the music on offer, because it sticks to the labels ethos of serving up music that will lift your spirits in every way possible and has the feel good factor woven into the fibre of every track they release.

The first piece of music to come from the Swing Set Sounds camp is JPOD‘s jaw dropping free remix of Al Green‘s ‘Love & Happiness’, which is exactly what this track is all about. Midtempo beats, funk, soul, horns, Al Green, it’s the best recipe you’re ever likely to encounter!

If your smiling from that track, be prepared to keep on grinning because Swing Set Sounds have dropped their ‘Artist Compilation Volume 1′. On this album are 12 properly amazing tracks from some of the highly talented funky beat makers out there. Feed your soul on the good stuff, there’s plenty to be found!

Download JPOD’s remix here via The Artist Union.
