An all-new album from De La Soul is always going to be good news, and 'Are You In?' proves a welcome addition to the De La catalogue. Despite the longest of waits between full-lengths, the legendary Long Island trio agreeably engage old-school sonics spruced up with 21st-century production gloss.

Commissioned by Nike, 'Are You In?' moves like a DJ set with throwback beats turning up the tempo and opening and closing with relaxed, soul-tinged tunes. As masters of laid-back hip-hop, and for a group that's outlived a few dozen hip-hop trends, 'old-school' is 'all-good', and they avoided simply rewriting their classic material new style breaks and beats keeping things fresh.
