Album lore

Fried & Tested 3, released by Southern Fried Records in early 2011, assembles a sprawling 59-track anthology that spans Italian trap, electroclash, new rave, and alternative dance. The compilation channels the energy of the late 2000s club circuits, threading through house-inflected edits and remixes. Contributors include notable names like Norman Cook, whose touch subtly informs the electronic undercurrents. Tracks such as “We Love Animals” exemplify the record’s dancefloor intent, balancing kinetic rhythms with textured synth work.The selection also nods to house’s past and future, with Ashley Beedle’s Heavy Disco remix of “Guaguanco” and the Renaissance Man remix of “Hold Up Your Hand” featuring Roisin Murphy. The album’s breadth—from the 80’s throwback vocal of “Disco Biscuit” to the forward-leaning beats of Appleblim & Komonazmuk’s “Full Moon” remix—offers a dense archive for crate-diggers keen on the era’s electronic pulse. Southern Fried Records, known for its club-ready releases, curates this set as a document of dance music’s evolving contours in the early 2010s.
