Vital Elements comes to Grid with his debut EP 'The Path Is Clear', a huge collection of dancefloor ammunition, cementing his position as one of the leaders of the new skool.
The EP kicks off with relentless energy of 'The Path Is Clear', its distinctive sci-fi pads and samples building up to a killer drop, one for the floor. The off key steppa 'Digital Love' combines computer generated voices and classic early rave stabs with some savage bass workouts to create something altogether different! The retro Jump Up sounds of 'What's Going On' evokes memories of the early True Playaz style, but brought bang up to date for the '08. To round off the collection, fellow label mates Mutated Forms step up on remix duties and get stuck into 'Gangster Sound', making this US mafia inspired cut their own.
