Started in 2006 by Ricsta in south London, Stirfried serves up a spicy buffet of all original funky/electro house and breakbeat.
Their first release in march 2006 featured the gorgeous voice of Adele, who is recently signed to XL and set to rocket into the stratosphere as this is written. Future releases include tracks by brixton incognitos The Mighty Atom, and more from the Ricsta. All will have tasty offerings by two other new musical motleys: hot remixers/producers Ike R. Rhumba (whose preference is electro), and Lord of the Tings, (who lives in the land of breakbeat).
They’ve also been busy wokking away in their studios making tunes that have been melting and fizzing dancefloors all over the shop, including a searing remix of Hard-Fi’s better do better, and Stirfried vs. Blue Oyster Cult – a mental reworking of BOC’s Reaper, released 12/02/07.
Look out for mixes with Justin Cookee!
