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 Trax presents ‘Me Sorpendiste’, the Latin infused production by Shik Stylko and Matt Caseli from 2007. The collaborators go all out with flavour on the Original Mix bringing in bongo beats, classic keys and Spanish vocals, also accompanied by Instrumental and Beatz Tool mixes. Staffan Thorsell and Georg Neufold drop the tempo in a laidback dub mix and Shik Stylko lays down a more house-focused version accompanied by a Dubstrumental version. Kings Of Groove switch things up with a heavier club-ready remix completing this seriously hot package.
