Souled

Souled are Ben Tidy and Adam Cook a DJ and Production outfit that has been in the making since they first met when they were 15.

At the time one was buying and playing House and Garage and the other Drum n Bass and Hip Hop. Over the years they influenced each other with their own style and sound until one day they realised that they had met in the middle. Souled was born!! The bastard son of a thousand beats representing the next generation of soul heads with there forward thinking dance music and obsessive crate digging. Disco to house to detroit techno to broken to afro beat to Soul, "if the shoe fits," they'll put it on a turntable and try and play it.



Souled were offered a weekly radio show on Ministry of Sound radio when their sound and ethusiasm was spotted by the Head of Radio. They were the 2 youngest people on the station back then and now have one of the longest running shows which goes out round the globe every Tuesday 10 till 12.
