Soulfuric is one of the most well-renowned labels in house music worldwide. As production duo Jazz-N-Groove and Urban Blues Project (UBP), 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 Axwell, John ‘Julius’ Knight, Shawn Christopher, Hardsoul, Melba Moore and Copyright.‘The Best Part (Wise Decision)’ is a Soulfuric Trax classic from MindInfluence (aka Big Mike T. and Kenny Gino), flanked by mixes from two steadfast underground house heroes of the moment when it was released in 2002; Copyright and S.W.A.T. With an irresistible syncopated groove and jumping bassline, ‘The Best Part’ has stood the test of the time and this release, which features both original mixes, is just begging to be revisited.
