7″ Can’t Stand It – People People
In September 2007 the second 7″ record, with Dutch Soul singing sensation Jimi Bellmartin was released.

Various Soulshaker Vol 3
Deep Funk, Soul & Groovy Club Sounds From Today’s Scene! This series just keeps getting better and better — and this hard-hitting third volume may be the funkiest entry so far! The groove here is nearly all modern deep funk — of the Quantic, Daptone, Truth & Soul, and Tramp Records variety — served up with just a bit of the modder touches that used to grace Record Kicks in years back, but which have now mostly been replaced by grittier tunes that are very much in the best tradition of the JBs or The Meters!
