Deep Dish bet on Montreal local Sultan for their latest mix on Yoshitoshi. 'Yoshitoshi Montreal' arrives in stores in September.
Sultan, aka Ossama Al Sarraf, was initially inspired by Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label in the late nineties. "Every DJ has labels they know they can blindly pick up a record from and know for sure it will be a hot release," says Sultan. "Yoshitoshi has always been that label for me.

If you're a regular listener of Pete Tong's 'Essential Selection' radio show, there are not too many surprises here. Other than what must have been a monumental licensing job to get these tracks togehter, and the odd bone (last track on set) he threw to Oakie with his strange single.
