Description
OMAKASE is a B2B (Back to Back) DJ unit featuring DJ KENTA and DJ SOULJAH! With an outstanding sense of the dancefloor, they present a Brunswick 7-inch compilation of DJ edits dubbed "OMAKASE 3-Minute Cooking"!
A cover of "Light My Fire," sampled from De La Soul's "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays,'" edited for DJ use with explosive organ funk! The instrumental version of "Am I the Same Girl," a masterpiece of girl group soul by label-mate Barbara Acklin (covered by Swing Out Sisters in the '90s!), was a massive hit that reached No. 3 on the U.S. pop charts.
The highly popular "Soulful Strut" among rare groove and free soul fans, with the drum break at the beginning!
