I agree the Marcel is pretty nice. I was going back and forth on
whether I should buy it. I listened to a few other 12"s on nuphonic
and it sounds like pretty good  label.

I totally agree about Soma. They are one of the best house labels in
my opinion. While I don't buy everything that they put out, I like
most of it. I also give a thumbs up on the Chaser LP. And the Funk
D'Void cd that was released last year (or maybe 1997). Hopefully,
there will be a new Funk D'Void out soon. 

The last Percy X single on Soma had this really great minimal track
with dub sounds in it. Great track!

Soma and Ferox are labels I always look out for. Cheers
