Soulseduction's review of the album: "...Erik Sumo in real life is called Ambrus Tovishazi, successfully introduced himself with his debut album 'My Rocky Mountain'. Back then Pop, Dub, Jazz and Hungarian Folk-elements were crossed with extremely catchy melodies. By now, the Erik Sumo Band is a seven-strong project and the new album 'The Trouble Soup' is a bubbling cauldron of great Pop-anthems. Explosive synthesizers, Eastern Bloc-ado, Indie and Progressive in three-minute operas, that could have been penned by the Flaming Lips or the B52's. It's crystal clear, the Hungarian Pop saga has to be rewritten."

With the album released on the German label Le Pop Musik, Chi Recordings is glad to deliver 3 packs of diverse remixes for this outstanding LP! For more info on the original album and Erik Sumo Band, go and check out their website.

Erik Sumo Band Remixes vol.3.

The last installment of the 3 packs series brings the dubbier side of remixes by Fine Cut Bodies and Myroslaw Bytz. After the smokey athmos, Hypernomad's ethnic take of "Disco In My Head" nicely closes the pack!

Mister Sushi (Botchit): "Really strong remix here from Fine Cut Bodies, definitely getting my full support!"
Chris Healings (Hybrid): "i love these Sumo band mix packages... Very cool forward thinking music and styles, feels like it should sync up with picture as well..!! It's got depth and movement rarely heard in dance music. Quality stuff... Love listening to this..."
Flack.su: "Myroslaw Bytz scooped soup mix is just awesome, love it! FCB also did a great job."
KiloWatts: "All of these are fantastic! Scooped Soup is my breakfast. "
Ed2000: "if any label captures the musical zeitgeist for me right now its chi. when its all about the best trax in every genre as opposed to one genre when no genre in my opinion delivers enough good tunes to dominate the dance floor, chi releases a diverse set of mixes and each one excels in its chosen direction . another top release from what i trust will be recognised as one of the most important labels we have."
Kevin Beber: "full marks for originality without compromising the songs. great production (as expected) . the expansive dubness of track 3 wins the day for me .. fantastic : )"
J Hazen: "All great mixes, especially FCB and Hypernomad. The FCB rmx is DEEP!!! Big, tripped out and dubby, I really got sucked in. Nice one!"
Xanthe Fuller (Mary Anne Hobbs Show): "Brilliant!"
DJ Paul POP!: "Fine Cut Bodies is a scary good remix. The Myroslaw Remix is sweet dark goodness...it's like something you;d expect Thom Yorke to record. and Disco In My Head is a psychotic middle eastern tune that rocks."
Rob Birch (Stereo MCs): "like! its different sounding and sort of mellow"
Headshotboyz: "incredible sounds, superprofessional work!"
Maurice Aymand (Galaktika Records): "The Myroslaw Bytz double trouble version is amazing.."

Erik Sumo Band Remixes vol.2.

For the second round we have a really diverse pack of mixes. Here's Synus0006's brilliand deep "109bpm" techno opus, Jacob London fame Hanssen travels into the abyss of nudisco, 9b0 delivers a glitched out hiphop version and Ferenc Vaspoeri takes us into the deephouse terrain.

Let's Go Outside (Soma): "Nice, slick electronic disco from the Synus0006 and Hanssen mixes."
Dov (Muti Music): "Every so often Chi exceeds even it's own standards of excellence and the crispy digital bliss of Disco In My Head (Synus0006 remix) is one of those times."
Kevin Beber: "Original twists -(as expected from Chi)- clean - hooky - groovy - refreshing good package."
Freeform Five: "Synus0006 remix is ace!"
Ben&Lex / Metroboy: "pure funking lush... the Synus006 remix is sublime"
Pezzner: "This whole EP is very well done. I'll definitely be playing Hanssen Remix of Show Me The Light, and Synus0006 mix of Disco In My Head regularly."
Adam Freeland: "The Hanssen remix is great."
Nick Warren: "Disco in my head is genius stuff, i love it. Infact the whole ep is briliant"
Alland Byallo: "I love the Hanssen mix!!! Amazing!"

Erik Sumo Band Remixes vol.1.

For the first take we bring you some of the classic Chi artists, but alongside Flack.su, Anorganik (Raster) and Kodek, let us introduce the crazy talented Headshotboyz guys' first release on the label...

Max Cooper: "The Kodek remix is amazing, and feeling the Flack Su remix too!"
Phil K: "Lots of good rhythms and moods...excellent!"
Lank: "Kitűnő kiadvány! A Headshotboyz remixet játszani fogom, köszönet érte!"
Malone (Bijoubreaks): "Flack.su's remix is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best track I've heard all month."
Chloe Harris: "this is great. i love the flack su remix for my b-sides show. show me the light kodek mix is great too. lots of feeling in it."
General Midi: "Flack.su mix is absolutely gorgeous!"
J Hazen: "Absolutely stunning! Every single mix. Such great melody and space in all of these, Flack.su and Anorganik mixes especially. Eye popping."
Brian Ffar: "Great release here. Such an eclectic group of remixes. I'm really into the Anorganik work. Kodek remix also flexes some serious production skills."
Dov (Muti Music): "The Flack Su remix is tasty as ever and will see play by me. The whole package is full of that classy and very tasty vibe that Chi is known for."
Butter Party (U&A): "An eclectic release of very high quality - vintage Chi! :) We're being spoiled with headphone fodder here - great to hear Flack.su and Kodek doing some slower stuff, and really feeling Anorganik's take, but ultimately for me the Headshotboyz remix comes out on top."
Lisa Lashes: "Great tracks!"
Axim (Radio Cafe) : "Flack glitches up, anorganik slams it into a massive tech-show! cant go by the other 2 rmx, too. this is a 5/5 rmx compilation, massive support on my side!"
Kevin Beber : "Future . Look forward to more of these!"
Joe Fisher : "What an amazing pack, love its variety of styles and quality sound."
Ed2000: "very fine, will love playing these trax out . feeling all trax , show me the light is really top, erik sumo getting remixed from strength to strength - full support - shows again why labels like chi, muti, and the new tectonic release are so important . showing possible ways forward way way more than nearly all others .. "
Chris Healings (Hybrid) : "Love the Flack Su remix it's a killer..... Also love the Kodek mix ..... mmmm nice stuff "
Ed2000: "you lot are so consistantly excellent ive run out of superlatives. 9/10 full support !!!"
