- Deep Dish bet on Montreal local Sultan for their latest Yoshitoshi mix.
Deep Dish bet on Montreal local Sultan for their latest mix on Yoshitoshi. 'Yoshitoshi Montreal' arrives in stores in September.
Sultan, aka Ossama Al Sarraf, was initially inspired by Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label in the late nineties. "Every DJ has labels they know they can blindly pick up a record from and know for sure it will be a hot release," says Sultan. "Yoshitoshi has always been that label for me. It all started with Brother Brown's 'Under the Water'. They were the kind of records I would play over and over again at home and at clubs and never get bored of."
These days Sultan's own name is on the Yoshitoshi sleeves, and his next project for the label is a compilation which promises to delve into the imprint's more recent back catalogue. 'Yoshitoshi Montreal' features Sultan originals, remixes and mash-ups as well as unreleased Yoshitoshi and Shinichi material from Lee Wharton & Jay Lloyd, Spider & Legaz and Sam Perez and Brusca. The CD also includes Sultan's latest single 'Aidan' made with production partner Ned Shepard.
You can preview the mix over at Sultan's website.
