With a history that has spanned over three decades, legendary label Salsoul Records needs no introduction for classic disco enthusiasts. But the New York-originated label will have a chance to further expand its influence and familiarize itself to new listeners with an upcoming collaboration.
Salsoul has come together with Sounds Familiar to release a double-vinyl set, titled Salsoul Sounds Familiar.
Based in Italy, Sounds Familiar is composed of producers, DJs, promoters and remixers, including DJ Spinna, Mark Grusane, GE-OLOGY, Twice & Volcov, Kai Alce and Specter. These artists have reworked on some of the best tracks produced by Salsoul and compiled the results in Salsoul Sounds Familiar.
Considering that Salsoul has inspired the Sounds Familiar artists in one way or another, it would definitely be interesting to hear the different approaches they will take in remixing and reediting the original sounds.
Check out the tracklist below:

1. The Salsoul Orchestra – Chicago Bus Stop (Ooh, I Love It) (DJ Spinna Refreak)
2. The Strangers – Stimulation (Twice & Volcov Edit)
