DJ Sulli - Where Do We Come From? (Hype & Soul)

From the environs of Northern California comes a serious new jam from DJ Sulli and Hype & Soul Recordings. A ‘lifer’ in the house music scene, Sulli (AKA Sean Sullivan) has been actively DJ’ing and releasing tracks for over 25 years. His own Hype & Soul imprint has gone from strength-to-strength, now bursting forth with the exploratory soul-tech cut “Where Do We Come From?” The underground dark room vibe is propelled by a chunky house rhythm, a large, rolling bass line, and synth textures that verge on the ominous. A mysterious, effected vocal wonders aloud on the title’s theme, sprinkling some philosophy the dance floor.

The first remix is Sulli’s Toltech Mix, a more beat-focused treatment that also adds a flurry of psychedelic sound hits and echoey vocal drops. Next, the legendary Ralph Falcon of Miami’s Murk Records is on hand with a pair of phenomenal club-primed treatments. His remix and Radio Dub instantly create the perfect late night atmosphere, with tribal drum play, stereo-panned vocal snips, and massive, rhythmic synth blasts. We may not know where we come from, but this pack is surely sending us straight to the dance floor.



Hype & Soul will be launching an early release NFT package that is a limited edition digital asset available for sale six weeks prior to initial digital release with the intention of providing early buyers an opportunity to play and record performances with the mixes much sooner than the general public. This package will include a number of creative pieces including a complete Ableton project file from the original DJ Sulli mix, a certificate of authenticity and copyright performance release, plus all mixes in both WAV and MP3 formats along with original artwork. Limited to 50 copies only from OPENSEA.IO.

DJ Harri (Sub Club) – “That Murk bass sound! Love it, will play and support.”
Strat3gy (House Afrika Records) – “Mad! Dark! Love it.”

DJ Sulli & 5657 - I Know My Future (Innerflight Music)

Veteran west coast house music DJ/producers Sean Sullivan and Cody Nasir, teaming up under the name DJ Sulli & 5657, return to Innerflight for the new single “I Know My Future,” featuring remixes from Ralph Falcon (Murk) and Pezzner.

DJ Sulli has a long history in the west coast house scene, inspired by such bay area legends as DJ Spun and Wicked crew DJs Thomas and Jeno. His Amfibius label was a definite player on the scene, releasing vinyl singles from the likes of Jay Tripwire, Alexander East, and Rick Preston. Sulli’s production activities have found him collaborating with 5657, a prominent DJ from the Lake Tahoe/Reno scene. Together they’ve combined Sulli’s ‘soul-tech’ sound with 5657’s funkier leanings for a fresh dance-floor house music style.

Propelled by a spacious vocal line, “I Know My Future” bursts out of the speakers with a powerful groove and a deep sensibility, providing the perfect soundtrack for late night house music gatherings. Miami’s Ralph Falcon delivers a re-rub of the track complete with a playful drum arrangement, menacing synth stabs to underscore the vocal hook, and a crisp but dark vibe. Acclaimed deep house virtuoso Pezzner rounds out the release with his gyrating rendition. A gnarly, modulated synth bass expertly draws in the dance floor, as Pezzner’s adept rhythm programming propels the vocal hook to new heights. All three versions are accompanied by instrumentals or dubs, adding up to another stellar pack from the Innerflight camp.

Chris Fortier (Fade / Mindwarp) – “Great release. Awesome Pezzner and Ralph Falcon mixes.”
Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “Loving the Pezzner Bonus Dub.”
Edground (Grooveland Music) – “This is a DOPE release.”
Shane Johnson (Fish Go Deep) – “Both Pezzner remixes are working very well here. Loving that elastic bassline.”
Billy Butler (D3EP Radio Network) – “Original dub sounds superb!”
Jon Lee (Tilted Records) – “Cool release. Ralph Falcon instrumental for me.”
Sumsuch (Colour and Pitch) – “Simply Splendid!”
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Absolutely killer basslines across these mixes. Massive!”
Curtis Logan (Jersey Soul) – “Loving this release, love the Raspy vocal on this. Full support. Great job Ralph Falcon & Pezzner.”
Kid Hops (Expansions – KEXP) – “Tough EP! Loving the original, the Pezzner remix, and the dub mix of the original. I look forward to playing these cuts out in the clubs and on my KEXP radio shows. Tuff tunes! Love 'em!”
