Originally released on the cult V4 Visions label in 1991 & 1994, Ashaye’s “Dreaming” and “What’s This World Coming To” showcased the sound of Steet Soul, a genre that emerged in the 1990s, blending elements of soul, R&B, and hip-hop, that could be heard playing across London’s pirate radio stations. As the popularity of UK soul has grown in the last 5 years, DJ’s and tastemakers have put “Dreaming” and “What’s This World Coming To” into heavy rotation which has only increased demand & price for the original vinyl considerably. At present this demand is so high that it’s not even possible to purchase “Dreaming” on the second hand market, while copies for “What’s This World Coming To” are changing hands for £50+. On this fully licenced, RSD release, two of Ashaye’s biggest tracks are together on one 12” for the first time! Don’t sleep on this double header of premium UK street soul on South Street International's debut foray into vinyl!
