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.

One of Knight’s most well-known tracks, ‘Find A Friend’ was originally released in 2002. A familiar face to Soulfuric, DJ John ‘Julius’ Knight worked closely with both Brian Tappert and Marc Pomeroy on various collaborative projects including Cleptomaniacs. Featuring re-works by Audiowhores and Knight himself, this package includes the original ‘Find A Friend’ in all its disco-inspired, soulful glory.
