Following in the footsteps of Mighty Dub Katz, Cagedbaby and The 2 Bears, DJ and producer Doorly has mixed the fourth installment of Southern Fried & Tested, Southern Fried Records’ compilation series. The mix features plenty of exclusive tracks as well as some forgotten gems and classics from the label’s vast back catalogue.
Doorly has proved something of a sensation in recent years, emerging from being a resident at his own party in Huddersfield into an internationally recognised DJ who plays across the world on a nonstop basis. He has collaborated with everyone from Grandmaster Flash to Beardyman, hosts his own show on Rinse.FM, been Usher’s Tour DJ and is head of his own eclectic label, Pigeonhole This. For Doorly, being part of the Southern Fried stable is a dream come true: “Anybody that knew me in my early days of DJing 14 years ago will be able to tell you that my main inspiration as a DJ was Norman Cook and I used to buy Southern Fried Records on vinyl without even needing to listen to them because I trusted them so much. Tracks like ‘Mighty Dub Katz – Let The Drums Speak’ and ‘Markus Nikolai – Bushes‘… ooooof! I am a fan boy of the label so having full access to the back catalogue and some of its rarest obscurities was an absolute holiday for me and I hope this comes across over the 2 CDs.”
The mix is split into two halves – the first disc is full-on main room club fare and is packed with exclusive new tunes from DJ Touche, Doorly & Rory Lyons, Avec featuring Scissor Sisters man Jake Shears, as well as some special Doorly edits of producers like Armand van Helden and Spork. Disc two offers a more emotional and deeper take on house, garage and tech with contemporary stars like Danny Daze and Waze & Odyssey popping up next to legends like Chicken Lips and dub cuts from Ashley Beedle.
