Description:
This 45‑rpm single captures two cutting‑edge tracks by Soul Supreme. On the A‑side, “Dues and Don’ts” presents a silky groove underpinned by warm electric piano, moody strings, and a subtle yet firm beat — a slow burner built for the late‑night soul floor. The B‑side, “Fraud Fades”, kicks things into higher gear: breakbeat‑laden drums, bold horn stabs, and layers of live instrumentation make it ideal for DJs looking for that fresh funk edge that nods to classic break culture. The production maintains live instrumentation discipline while embracing groove‑centric minimalism — a modern take that respects vintage ethos.

As a recent release from a niche independent label, this single is designed with DJs and crate collectors in mind – limited pressings, high fidelity, and standout grooves. Particularly, “Fraud Fades” has already been noted for its breakbeat potential. Because it’s a fresh pressing of original material (not a reissue), it also highlights the ongoing vitality of the funk/soul 45 format.
