For this Track Talk, I’m linking up with Vince Watson, a name that doesn’t just sit in the history of house and techno, but actively helped shape it. Over 30 years deep, with a catalogue that speaks for itself, Vince is one of those artists who never followed trends, he built his own lane.
And right now, there’s a perfect reason to tap in.
One of Vince Watson’s biggest selling tracks, and at the same time one of his rarest vinyl releases, is finally getting a proper repress on wax. This time fully remastered and mixed on his own Everysoul Audio imprint. The original release on Osunlade’s Yoruba Records back in 2015 was extremely limited, but now it’s back sounding better than ever and ready to hit the decks again.
The release is backed by a new dancefloor version of Reach For The Sun, originally featured on his essential 2012 album Every Soul Needs A Guide. This updated version leans into flexing jazz vibes, a driving, addictive rhythm and those unmistakable Jaguar-esque uplifting chords and strings.
And that’s exactly where Vince Watson stands out.
Once again, he delivers those delicious piano sequences, light chords and majestic, emotional energy that effortlessly builds and lifts. Music that doesn’t just sit in the mix, but actually takes you somewhere.
So in this Track Talk, we’re not just talking about the release. We’re going deeper. Into the records, the influences and the moments that shaped Vince Watson into the artist he is today.
One of the first electronic, if not the first, that I ever heard. Instantly mesmerizing, I simply needed to know what I was listening to….then went on a mission to find the other tapes. This was the not so humble beginning of my early music.
This was a close call between this and KLF’s Live At Trancentral Part 2 – the best trance track ever made, and that was before Trance was even a genre. Chillout, however, must have been listened to 1000 times in my youth, with many a summer evening lying in fields looking at the sky. Goosebumps.
This 20min live track sums up The Orb for me…underground yet accessible, trippy yet you can whistle it. I loved this album so much…. crossing genre’s and just making music, delightful.
One of Derrick’s finest moments in my opinion, and was the first Detroit Techno record I ever heard, in an under 18 HipHop concert for MC Duke in Glasgow, the DJ played this during the break, and I was immediately transported and have been ever since.
An absolutely beautifully dissonant, mis-timed, wonky bit of genius….it was Detroit, the Euro way. This track by Laurent led the way for all of us Detroit heads in Europe and UK.
The Ice Castles album was such a beautiful thing, it inspired me to write many of my earlier house tracks, bringing the hooks and main melodies as inspiration into my own musical forms.
My old mate Loftgroover played this to me once…and it blew me away, such an amazing old school garage track – The Rhodes totally inspired me to improve my own piano and keyboard skills and many of my really musical house tracks can find their inspiration on this gem.
I could have listed 10 Mad Mike tracks on here, but this Martian track with Mike’s chords is one of the best Techno tracks ever written, true techno from the heart of 313. The live jamming on the mixer with the chords and drum machines is so raw and those chords are out of this world.
This track went completely under the radar, and I simply could not understand why It was not part of the original Azimuth or Metaphor albums. It’s my favourite Kenny Larkin track (closely followed by Clavia’s North). The chords are immense and the drums are perfect.
To me this was one of my least complicated simplest tracks, but along with Mystical Rhythm, it’s my top 2 most requested, purchased, and licensed tracks ever. I’m delighted to have this new master out as it sounds so good now.
Big thanks to Vince Watson for taking the time to share the records and stories behind his journey. These are the kind of insights that remind you where this music really comes from.
If you’re feeling this selection, make sure to dive into the new Eminesence EP. The 2026 rework sounds sharper, deeper and more refined than ever, while Reach For The Sun brings that uplifting, jazz-infused energy straight back to the dancefloor.
You can also find the full release via Vince’s Everysoul Audio channels and Bandcamp. Trust me, this is one for the heads and the selectors.
And as always… stay curious, keep digging, and never stop searching for that next record that changes everything.
