Review: Djar One is a master editor of funk, soul and hip-hop classics and his crown is once more gilded by this release, 'Sliced Tomatoes', which contains reworks of two Northern soul gems: Just Brothers' 'Sliced Tomatoes' and The Showstoppers' 'Ain't Nothing But A House Party'. Extra bump and bounce is lent to the original rarities tracks, making them more than suitable for modern dancefloors, as well as for Northern soul heads who don't mind a bit of extra pizzazz.

Review: Djar One is something of a hip-hop and funk titan who can make fresh new beats or mixed up and edit the classics with equal aplomb. For his latest outing which finds him step away from regular home Burning Sole, he lands on Beats House and tackles one of the most well known breaks you can imagine and one which was made so famous by Fatboy Slim. Here 'Sliced Tomatoes' has the nice crisp back beats and the warbling guitar line running on endlessly to get you in the groove. Flip over the 7" and you'll find another old school funk bomb in 'A House Party' which has some big vocals and bumping grooves next to potent horn stabs.
