Soul of Man Intro: Soul of Man are Justin Rushmore and Jem Panufnik, together
responsible for setting up the world famous Finger LickinÆ Records. As producers
they have created a barrage of funk driven records, and as performers are an
international DJ success story.
Having set up Finger LickinÆ Records in the late nineties it wasnÆt long until
they had a string of breakbeat classics under their belt; æLove & HateÆ,
æBetween the EyesÆ and æGonna Keep OnÆ, became a staple in every DJÆs box with a
unique sound that attracted other like minded producers to join forces with the
Finger Lickers. The Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, A.Skillz, Lee Coombs and The
Drumattic Twins soon became part of the collective as their sound helped shape a
whole generation of music makers.
ItÆs a little known secret that without Justin and Jem a whole chapter in the
history of dance music would never have existed.
Just as at home behind the decks, Justin and Jem have toured the world DJing and
their profile in Australia is legendary having performed ten times in six years!
Throughout the summer season they will often be found face down in the fields of
Glastonbury, The Big Chill or The Glade, as well as finding time for annual
appearances in Ibiza.
Jem, also a graphic designer, is responsible for the distinctive artwork on all
the Finger LickinÆ record sleeves. His musical passion has its roots deep in
funk and he is a classically trained percussionist, while Justin has always been
a DJ. Best known for his party-fuelled rocking DJ sets, JustinÆs experience
spans from the times of him grafting as a mobile jock back in the eighties,
through to the hazy days of the acid house parties of the nineties. Soul of Man
clearly wear their musical influences on their sleeves; from funk to early
hardcore, with lashings of house, all rolled together in their driving
percussive force that makes the backbone to their distinctive sound.
As remixers Soul of Man have attracted attention from a multitude of producers
including Jacknife Lee, Doug Lazy, James Taylor Quartet, Fluke, Dub Pistols and
Dreadzone all who wanted a taste of their special blend of breakbeat spice. ItÆs
no surprise that Soul of ManÆs productions have rarely left DJÆs boxes: 2001Æs
æDirty WaltzerÆ, the dubwise-inspired æKilla BrewÆ, æThe DrumÆ; æMyLowDownDirtyÆ
or even their most recent single æSukDatÆ have all become monster club smashes.
However it actually all began for the boys back in 1998 with æBreakthruÆ a mix
compilation of post-Bigbeat, funk fuelled party tunes. It was this album that
gave birth to the whole new sound. Since then they have been responsible for
mixing all four volumes of the legendary æFinger LickinÆ ThangÆ series, ReactÆs
æ21st Century BreaksÆ and the æY4KÆ mix for DistincÆtive.
This June Soul of Man release æRe-LickedÆ - a celebration of ten years of music
making. On this stunning double CD the early, groundbreaking classics rub
shoulders with twelve spanking new remixes courtesy of the hottest producers in
todayÆs scene. A.Skillz, Merka, TroubleSoup!!, Deepcut, Nick Thayer, Kraak &
Smaak and others have created outstanding and diverse reinterpretations of their
fave Soul of Man tracks.
