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.

Regular Soulfuric collaborators Bongoloverz serve up their uplifting ‘Spirit Of House’ from 2006. The Piano Mix does exactly what it says on the tin with energized bongo beats and inspiring spoken vocals courtesy of An-Tonic. Delivering a more club-ready version, the House Mix comes loaded with plenty of synth action and a bouncing bassline. The previously unheard Piano Instrumental, along with the Drum Tool and Spoken-Apella versions complete this energetically feel-good Soulfuric Trax release.
