Soulfuric is one of the most well-renowned labels in house music worldwide. Under the production guises Jazz-N-Groove and Urban Blues Project, Brian Tappert and Marc Pomeroy released records on classic labels including Sub-Urban, Strictly Rhythm and AM:PM, even cueing up the first ever release on Defected Records (and a UK chart no.8) with Soulsearcher’s 'Can’t Get Enough'. In 1996, the two founded their own label Soulfuric Recordings which eventually included sub-labels Soulfuric Deep and Soulfuric Trax. Soulfuric was and is one of the most important labels in the history of this genre we love, garnering a cult following and releasing classics from Hardsoul, John ‘Julius’ Knight, Urban Blues Project, 95 North, Afromento and Wayne Gardiner.

Soulfuric’s own Marc Pomeroy goes under his Deepstar alias for the instrumental masterpiece ‘Deepstar’ from 2001. Laden with live horns, electric guitar solos and classic piano riffs on top of a drum-set beat, Marc strips his composition back to the true essentials. Breaking the record down even more, he singles out the instrumental arrangement in Reprise with Bass and Reprise versions completing an enticing release.
