after 18 months of intense work in the studio shades of gray are finally ready to release their debut album >soul machine<. the duo have progressively established themselves over the years by releasing consistently solid tracks for labels such as neurotraxx deluxe, salted music, om records, dark energy, tronicsoul and of course their home label beef records. the album is a definite progression for sog, heading deeper into the sampling territory and drawing on whats come before to define their vision of the future sound of house music. reinterpreting influences from soul to disco through the sharpened lens of 2012 production, sog have delivered a stunning collection of tunes that have that instant classic feel that will remain relevant for years to come. this vinyl sampler features the title track soul machine with a deep interpretation by eric volta aka kid dub. on the flip side we have a party monster called back to the future with a huge disco/tech remix by peter horrevorts who has been doing really well lately with his releases on trapez, tronic and beef - special transparent vinyl pressing!
