Daybreakers keep it moving in 2026 with another essential drop from Chicago's Vick Lavender. Following on from Vol. 1, 'Essential Traxx Vol. 2' digs even deeper into that soulful, live house sound that Vick's been perfecting for decades on his label Sophisticado.A musician, producer, and DJ whose work bridges house, jazz, and soul, Vick's music has always carried that feeling - spiritual, rhythmic, and full of life. Part of Glenn Underground's Strictly Jaz Unit back in the 90s, he helped carve out a sound that still resonates through clubs today. Sophisticado is his world now - real musicians, real instruments, and real emotion.On the A side, 'Consequences' featuring Spike Rebel (originally released as a 2018 single on Sophisticado) rolls with organic percussion, warm keys and that signature Lavender groove - fluid, human, alive. Music built for the dance.Flip it for 'Thanks I Get' featuring Cei Bei (originally from his 2015 album 'Architect') - straight deep house from the source. Soulful vocals, deep chords, and that unmistakable Chicago energy that hits right where it should. 'Essential Traxx Vol. 2' continues the story. Real house music, deeper than deep.Tracklisting:A.
