Australia's Deep Street Soul return with even more fuzz in their funk than before with this double whammy.

Hailing from Melbourne, Deep Street Soul are the local kings of Australian raw funk. Tough, hard-hitting, gritty & aggressive. Formed in 2006, they released their first two 7inch's on the local Jaycees label. With radio support on the BBC6's 'Craig Charles funk & soul show' the initial pressings sold out. The outtakes from the second session were then released as a special digital EP on Straightup Recordings which gained airplay throughout Spain, France & Germany. On the back of this came an invite to perform at the legendary St. Paul Soul Jazz festival in France. In late 2008 after hearing these recordings ex-Freestyle Records (UK) boss Adrian Gibson asked the band to sign to his label and release their first full length LP. The album was released on Freestyle Records in October 2009 on both LP/CD. This was accompanied by the 7inch 'KOTJ's/Greenbacks' and the 12" 'Chilli Fried' (a compilation of all previously recorded tracks on Jaycees & Straightup Recordings). The album made waves across the globe with stellar reviews coming from across Europe & the US and airplay from the heavy weights of funk & soul including Mark Lamarr, Craig Charles, Pete Issac, Dom Servini and Michael Rutten. On the back of this came the autumn 2010 European tour, including a live to air performance on Mark Lamarr's seminal Saturday night show (God's Jukebox) on BBC2 and gigs across the UK, France & Spain. Local supports include international funk/soul legends Marva Whitney, Breakestra, Mountain Mocha Kilamanjarro, Charles Walker & the Dynamites and local hero's the Bamboos. They have also headlined Russ Dewbury's legendary 'Jazz Rooms' club night at The Basement in Sydney on multiple occasions as well as festival slots at Falls Festival, St.Kilda Festival & Peats Ridge Festival. The new album is scheduled for release Oct 24th 2011 (Freestyle Records UK).

Hailing from Melbourne, Deep Street Soul are the local kings of Australian raw funk. Tough, hard-hitting, gritty & aggressive.

The band formed in 2006 as a live act and released their first 7inch through local label Jaycees in 2007. With some local radio support and international play on the BBC6’s ‘Craig Charles funk & soul show’ the initial pressing sold out. In 2008 the band dropped their second 7inch on Jaycees, which received great reviews from around the world as well as more support from BBC6. The outtakes from this session were then picked up by Straightup Recordings and released as a digital EP which saw airplay throughout Spain, France & Germany. On the back of this came an invite to perform at the legendary St. Paul Soul Jazz festival in France. In late 2008 after hearing these recordings Freestyle Records (UK) boss Adrian Gibson asked the band to sign to his label and release their first full length LP.

The album was recorded in early 2009 and was released on Freestyle Records in October 2009 on both LP/CD. This was accompanied by the 7inch ‘KOTJ’s/Greenbacks’ and the 12” ‘Chilli Fried’ - which was a compilation of all previously recorded tracks on Jaycees & Straightup Recordings. The album made waves across the globe with stellar reviews coming from across Europe & the US and airplay from the heavy weights of funk & soul including Mark Lamarr, Craig Charles, Pete Issac, Dom Servini and Michael Rutten. They backed this up with a 2010 European tour, which included a live to air performance on Mark Lamarr’s seminal Saturday night show on BBC2 and gigs across the UK, France & Spain. With local supports for international funk/soul legends Marva Whitney, Breakestra, Mountain Mocha Kilamanjarro, Charles Walker & the Dynamites and local hero’s the Bamboos. They have also headlined Russ Dewbury’s legendary ‘Jazz Rooms’ club night at The Basement in Sydney as well as festival slots at Falls Festival, St.Kilda Festival & Peats Ridge Festival. Two tracks were featured on Australia’s award winning crime drama ‘Underbelly’ as well as a track being used on an ad campaign in the US.
