"All Ain't The Same" is a collaboration between Bristol producer Ben Dubuisson -AKA "Hundred Strong" and Glasgow singer/songwriter Joseph Malik .Having recorded title track "All Ain't The Same" for previous label Altered Vibes some 7 years previously, the full length collaboration has been some time in the making. However, it was only a chance conversation early in 2012 between Dubuisson and Malik that led to an exchange of ideas and the completion of the long vaunted project.Working from his basement studio in central Bristol Dubuisson sent instrumental files to Malik who drew upon his years of musical and life experiences to create a soulful yet cutting sound. The process was then completed by the addition of live musicians including Kasbian trumpeter Gary Alesbrook and long time Hundred Strong hammond player Evan Newman.Finally, Dubuisson introduced Malik to fellow Glasgow singer Louise Berry AKA Lou Angel who was bought in as backing singer. Through their vocal collaborations a relationship developed which resulted in them getting together outside of the studio. Is there strength in numbers? In the this case the collaboration of Hundred Strong and Joseph Malik proves there is. The Vinyl Ep features 5 tracks from the lp and is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl for enhanced listening.
