"Unparalleled speaker-smashing, arse-wiggling perfection, that sets them apart from almost any other underground act". DJ Magazine - Album Of The Month *****

Deekline & Wizard have always been ambassadors for a strong vocal and the album is loaded with new and undiscovered talent amassed on their travels. From reggae inspired, jungle institution TopCat to UK hip hop exile Fallacy; from gospel star and former Drifters member Vic Bynoe to genre jumping Canadian MC Flipside (who has spent the last decade adding his stamp to international chart toppers) and regular collaborator Yolanda, whose soulful turns on tracks including 'Ready For Your Love' truly showcase a new direction for the previous booty bounce specialists.

A trip to the Americas threw up Detroit's ghetto tech pioneer DJ Assault who adds his baritone twang to the minimalistic, A-Town sound of 'One In The Front' and 'Keep It Pushing', two cuts that perhaps best showcase the increased musicality their new productions offer. These musical kleptomaniacs also set off with their swag bag travelling to Sofia in Bulgaria, where they found classically trained musician Andronia Popova. Singer and string arranger extraordinaire Andronia, was exactly what the boys were looking for and her live strings provide a depth of listening on singles 'Angels' and 'Dancehall Thrilla'. In addition the latter track brought the boys full circle and back to London where they hooked up with achingly cool Hadouken founder and singer James Smith, whose vocals provide the perfect antidote to the ragga stylings of MC Navigator. There's never been any doubt that the Deekline & Wizard pairing can produce consistently exciting club smashes, but on 'Back Up, Coming Through' the pair have produced hook heavy joints set to take them to kitchen radios and car stereos around the country.
