"Stereo Sushi is the new sister label of Hed Kandi. All of the tracks are jazzy and soulful. My favourites are Viola's "Little Girl," AK'S "Say that you Love Me," with a sweet Japanese vocal mixed by Francois Kevorkian and Eric Kupper and Derrick White's "Soul 2 Let Go". Most of the tracks are in vocal mixes by well known DJs of the deep house scene. This CD is essential for all the soulful, groovy, jazzy house music lovers."

"Stereo sushi is the first album from Hed Kandi's sister label.
It features 2 full length CD's with high quality unmixed tracks.
The contents isn't your avarage comersial house sounds, but not "really" deep stuff like Kevin Yosts material. It's somewhere in between, and if you have good taste in house you will like it.
By track 4: Matthias "Matty" Heilbronn - Keep On Movin (II Deep House Mix) you can sense where we are heading and track 6: Physics - Deny Me Love (Dub Version) takes you to the roof with awesome deep ambience and cool beats. Track 10 would be a given hit if it weren't for Alcazar's simplified ... mainstream ... ("sexual gaurantee"). On CD 2 we find an interresting track with Tiefschwarz at number 2 which features cool vocal effects. Track 6: AK - Say that you Love Me (FK-EK Japanese Vocal Mix) is a funny good spirited song with what I'd call typical japanese house harmonies. The compilation is rounded up in a superb funky manner at track 8 with Jon Cutler feat. E-man - It's Yours (BEHEMOTH aka Torn De Neef Remix.
Don't miss this album or you'll be sorry."
