Some proper early house styling here. Big piano and a wistful vocal sample over a Frankie Knuckles bass line on this one.

This is a brooding disco monster, with an equally twisted video. Both versions are worth a listen. You can hear the orginal in the second part of ‘No Ordinary Monkeys’ recent Beats in Space mix.

This popped up on a feed recently and I had forgotten how good it was. Its been around for three years now, released on Disco Delicious. Always a fan of the call and response in African music. I need say nothing on Fela Kuti and his genius, just give this edit a listen…

This isn’t far off the original, it’s rare and well worth waiting for the breakdown.

“FRIED TOFU is an edit label dedicated to bring some soulful sounds to the dancefloor. As these days alot of over compressed sound is competing for the attention of the masses, some of the old days sexiness seems to be missing. FRIED TOFU is not participating in the ongoing war of loudness and delivers instead some music that is dedicated to the groove rather than mere intensity.”
The Player’s were happy to see an extra tasty portion of Fried Tofu appear in the inbox the other day. The above quote sums up the labels ambitions much of which is about giving the records respect and allowing the original rawness to still pervade . July 2011 sees the release of FT02 which will only be released on vinyl and it numbers will be limited. Whet your appetite with a delicious preview;

Here’s a mix from a mister DJ Billy Woods usually of Der Supermax Love Machine. If anyone can help with a track list that’d be nice, especially the track at 29 minutes. He’s playing in Edinburgh on the 19 th of March at Wasabi Disco at Sneaky Pete’s. There will be a Bozak mixer in the house, if you dont know what this is then go here; Mick Music Page. Speaking of Sneaky Petes it’s almost Tuesday; see you tomorrow? (Soul Jam Hot in case you wondered)

The Bongo Club Website gives you further details. See you there. I have also decanted this track from the mix. The ‘Go Upstairs – Soul Mekanik (Maurice Fulton Remix)’ has enjoyed regular play on my ipod since the summer. It’s BRILL!
