Justin Rushmore aka Soul of Man has been dj’ing since the birth of dance music. An early pioneer of an entire scene and instigator of Finger Lickin’ Records. Renowned for his awesome, energetic sets loaded with funk fuelled techno, electro and house all with a backbone of breaks, this man has truly earned his reputation as an outstanding dj. Throughout 2009 the demand for Soul of Man in clubs and festivals worldwide took him to Ibiza, London’s Matter, Amsterdam, St.Petersburg, Budapest, Snowbombing (live for Radio 1); Isle of Wight festival, The Glade, Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, Kazantip festival Ukraine; a tour of Canada and no less than three trips to the USA culminating at headlining a 3,000 strong new years day event in San Francisco. His Essential mix on Radio One was inundated with overwhelming support, he has hosted shows on Kiss FM and Ministry of Sound Radio; performed countless guest mixes on Annie Nightingale’s Radio One show as well as a mini mix for Annie Mac.
In the late nineties he set up Finger Lickin’ records with studio partner Jem Panufnik and together under the guise of Soul of Man have recorded over 50 releases, sold well in excess of 100,000 records and remixed artists including Dub Pistols, Fluke, Dreadzone, Doug Lazy, James Taylor Quartet and many, many others...Justin has also mixed compilations for React; D’Istinctive’s Y4k series and all six in-house Finger Lickin' Thang compilations. The Soul of Man Re-Licked album was a top seller on Beatport. As A & R man for the label he has been responsible for signing and releasing music from Lee Coombs, A Skillz, Drumattic Twins and Plump DJs. Justin certainly has a talent to pick out tunes, in short he knows his music! Currently he has been working under the guise of Rushmore & Fiasco as well as having remixed ‘And The Beat Goes On’ for Cubrik records under the moniker of Funk L’Amour. Expect a barrage of funk fuelled, bass driven beats and basslines as Rushmore delivers once again in 2010.
