Soulfuric has remained one of the most renowned labels in house music since its inception in 1996, releasing material from artists such as Cleptomaniacs, Axwell, Copyright, Hardsoul and Ron Carroll to name just a few. With a catalogue described by Defected’s Simon Dunmore as “timeless”, now this compilation of accapellas features a vast range of highlights from the Soulfuric imprint. Opening with a record that would later become Defected’s first single ‘Can’t Get Enough!’ by Soulsearcher, the compilation features enduring classics like Melba Moore’s ‘My Heart Belongs To You’, Shawn Christopher ‘You Can Make It’ and CeCe Peniston ‘I’m Feeling You’. The twenty-track collection also features tracks from Soulmagic, Urban Blues Project, Donna Allen and John ‘Julius’ Knight & Roland Clark.
