DJ SOULJAH INTERVIEW
If you have ever bought a Congo Natty or Knowledge and Wisdom Record, it was
probably in the record store you bought it from because of one man, DJ
Souljah.
Souljah is the one man powerhouse behind the global distribution of the UK
Ragga Hip-Hop Jump Up Jungle Sound. DJ, Distributor, Record label owner, Record Label Co-owner, Souljah has seen
it all.
The man was nice enough to share a few words on the past, present and future
of jungle with us recently, I hope you enjoy them.

(click the flyer on the right to go to the pictures page)
'' This year saw one of the original Jungle labels revamp itself, Congo Natty,
with a new matrix number and brand new artwork, this re-lick is in
anticipation for some big name remixes of classic Congo tunes. While DJ
Hazard puts the finishing touches to his remix of Peter Bouncer's "Junglist",
Shy FX's Ebony Dubsters mix of Top Cat's "Champion DJ" is already smashing
its way through dance floors all over the world thanks to dub plate support
from DJ Hype, while DJ Ron's mix has been championed by Nicky Blackmarket
and has been getting the rewind treatment every time it's drawn. Other big
producers have been drafted in on this project so watch this space.
And as if that wasn't enough to be getting on with, the Congo crew continue
their ever popular "classics" series as well as preparing for the imminent
release of a double "The Best Of Congo Natty" CD, as well as new albums
from Top Cat and Rebel MC's own "Born Again" LP. More details as we get
them. ''
UPDATE 2004/10/08:
There's also a "Police in Helicopter" remix by Ray Keith out there.
