Cookin' On 3 Burners - Soul Messin' (2025 Reissue)

Australia's premier Hammond soul trio, Cookin' On 3 Burners, celebrate a milestone with the anniversary edition of their breakthrough LP, Soul Messin', expanded with two bonus tracks never before released on vinyl.

Originally issued in 2009 via Freestyle Records UK, Soul Messin' is the album that put the Burners on the international map, boasting the sweet soul anthem This Girl (feat. Kylie Auldist) – later remixed into a worldwide hit by French DJ Kungs (Top 10 in 37 countries, #1 across Europe, the world's most Shazammed track of 2016).

This anniversary edition marks the first release on the band's own label Soul Messin' Records and captures the original lineup – Jake Mason (Hammond organ), Lance Ferguson (guitar), and Ivan Khatchoyan (drums) – in peak form.

Highlights:
This Girl feat. Kylie Auldist – The original version of the global smash.
The Proving Grounds – For the first time on vinyl, a cinematic instrumental that stretches the trio into lush soundtrack territory.
Push It Up feat. Kylie Auldist – A deep funk floor-filler still igniting dancefloors a decade later.

Press Praise:
With guest spots from Fallon Williams and Kylie Auldist, Soul Messin' remains a cornerstone of modern Australian funk and soul.
