10 Years of Finger Lickin

October 06, 2008

What you have with Finger Lickin’ is a slice of musical history. Spawned from a concept in the late nineties, Finger Lickin’s secret blend of herbs and spices has achieved staggering worldwide success and yet remained truly independent. So now the award-winning label have reached their tenth birthday and the landmark of their one hundredth single. To celebrate they are releasing a limited edition triple CD boxset and embarking on a nationwide ten date tour, cramming the tour bus with their favourite DJs and their record boxes and bringing the Finger Lickin’ experience to a city near you soon. More details on the tour to follow…

Over the past decade the distinctive FL sound has literally impacted upon tens of thousands of clubbers across the planet. A style that feeds from a multitude of ingredients - funk, hip hop, house, breakbeat and electro all mixed into a melting pot of audio bliss - where musical genres have been blurred and given freedom to provide a whole new inspiration, this unique sound is Finger Lickin’.

The CD boxset features three hours of the hottest tracks from the Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, Soul of Man, A-Skillz, Lee Coombs, The Drumattic Twins, Slyde and many more. The distinctive Finger Lickin’ artwork that has been an integral part of the label’s identity, is in full display in this special stunning packaging featuring a sixteen-page booklet, making it a true collectors item.

“To pick out a single highlight over the last ten years is impossible,’ explains label founder Justin Rushmore (Soul Of Man.) “Performing to a crowd of ten thousand smiley faced ravers at the first ever Field Day in Sydney Australia; flying to New York to record with hip hop legend Kurtis Blow; hosting the infamous fifth Birthday party at the Coronet in London, which boasted a full line up of all the artists featured on the label; the awesome parties at Snowbombing or hearing your tunes being played in clubs all over the world. So many magic moments and so many classic tunes, it’s been some trip so far”

Finger Lickin’ are the label to bring you the groundbreaking ‘A Plump Night Out’, ‘Eargasm’, ‘Saturday Night Lotion’ and most recently ‘Headthrash’, which secured the Plump DJs as a force to reckon with. ‘TrickaTechnology’ propelled Krafty Kuts into the super league and brought A-Skillz to the forefront of the masses. The ‘It’s a Finger Lickin’ Thang’ series has became legendary in its own right. Lee Coombs and the Drumattic Twins have also delivered outstanding artist albums and Soul of Man compiled their killer double CD ‘Re-Licked’ last year. Slyde dropped their recent and most excellent long player ‘Everyone’s Entitled To Our Opinion’ and Scott Nixon, Skillz and the Utah Saints have all mixed the awesome ‘Freshtraxxx’ series. Now the award-winning label deliver their anthology – ‘10 Years of Finger Lickin’.
