To mark its 20th birthday, Lisbon-born label Enchufada is releasing A Lisbon Club Story -- 20 hand-picked tracks bridging bass, trap, grime and rave with baile funk, kuduro, batida, Afro-house and more dance-oriented styles. A mix of 12 archive selections and eight fresh cuts, the LP unites some of the boldest champions of Afro-diasporic and global bass music today, from household names in Portugal such as Buraka Som Sistema -- back with their first track in 12 years, DJ Marfox and Shaka Lion to new-gen dynamos like Vanyfox and international stars like Dengue Dengue Dengue and Mina. Twenty years ago, Enchufada was launched as a vehicle for the debut EP from Lisbon's then-emerging Buraka Som Sistema. Only 500 CD copies of From Buraka To The World were pressed at the time, each sleeve handmade using recycled paper sourced from various factories around Lisbon -- giving them a unique DIY look pieced together from adverts for baby oil and paint. The CDs flew off the shelves in a week, marking the start of a journey that would take in era-defining records like the M.I.A- assisted Sound of Kuduro and African Scream, and much more. Also features Bison & Squareffekt , Tusabe, Joss Dee, Shaka Lion, Vanyfox, Traz Agua, BLOQO, Branko, Pedro da Linha, Petty, Roulet, Djeff, DJ N.K., Dotorado Pro, Branko, Alex Rita & Bison, Nané, Pedro da Linha, and Deekapz. Gatefold sleeve.

Blu-Ray, NTSC format. Region Code: 0. "In 1971 several dozen African American soul, jazz, and gospel artists embarked on a journey that would change the lives of everyone involved. They traveled from New York City to Ghana, West Africa to take part in a 13-hour concert entitled Soul to Soul. The concert was a celebration of 14 years of Ghana's independence from British rule. For most of these artists it was their first trip to Africa. For the African American musicians, this was a journey about personal roots, the ancestral homeland, history, discovery, loss, pain and joy. Directed by Academy Award winner Denis Sanders the concert film/documentary had a limited theatrical run in 1971. It now returns restored with the original edit reconstructing each scene using high quality 2K transfers from the original film elements, which were shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. The soundtrack has been digitally remastered. Soul to Soul is an electrifying concert film that features its players at the peak of their powers. The Ike & Tina Turner Revue deliver fiery renditions of 'River Deep-Mountain High,' 'Soul to Soul,' a cut specifically written for this concert; and Otis Redding's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long.' Wilson Pickett, the most popular American artist known to West Africans at the time, delivers a rousing finale of 'In the Midnight Hour,' 'Funky Broadway,' and 'Land of a 1000 Dances.' Gospel/Soul family group the Staples Singers were on hand to perform 'When Will Be We Paid' and 'Are You Sure.' Les McCann and Eddie Harris introduced many to jazz via spirited performances of 'The Price You Gotta Pay to Be Free' and 'Hey Jorler,' the latter featuring local Ghanaian artist Amoah Azangeo. Santana, with guest percussionist Willie Bobo was the wild card. The group only had one African American member but given its reliance on Afro-Cuban and Latin American rhythm constructs played the most African-sounding music of any with 'Black Magic Woman'/'Gypsy Queen' and 'Jungle Strut.'"

Recorded live on location, this is a style of music unlike anything you have ever heard before and the first album of the Himba people's music ever released from northwest Namibia. From the album's producer and recordist, Ian Brennan: "The Namib desert is the oldest in the world. Therefore, the driest. Italian-Rwandan photographer, Marilena Umuhoza Delli and I had come to record with possibly the most photographed people on earth, the Himba -- to listen rather than gaze at them as if on display. To share their voices as a counter to their visual objectification, particularly the inappropriate eroticization of the women who customarily go topless throughout daily life. We had to stress multiple times that we did not want the musicians to don touristic tribal costumes -- quite possibly the first music project in history that urged performers to cover-up rather than pleading with artists to expose more flesh. But it was to no avail. When the assigned hour arrived, the men all ditched the baseball caps and soccer jerseys that they routinely wear. And for the women, the reality is that they almost without exception keep their torsos bare, even in winter. We had to acquiesce. Forcing the issue would have only been the flipside of inauthenticity. The featured, traditional instrument is the Cattle Gun. It's rarely found these days and therefore, costly. Made from the lengthy horn of an Oryx and coated in mud, it is blown, resulting in a breathy, rattled tone. Via the use of live looping on three of the album's tracks, psychedelic vocal tapestries were created as if snatched from the ever-shifting skies that enshrined the valley from all sides. But even more esoteric results arose from members cupping hands over mouth to create chorusing and flanging effects sans electricity or gear. Rather than 'primitive' or traditional, the Himba music making is imbued with innovation and timelessness.' Limited edition pressing of 500 vinyl copies with four-page color insert including photos of the musicians and liner notes by Grammy-award winning producer and author, Ian Brennan.

Named after the Latin word for the humble house spider, Oonops started his career as a club DJ in the early 2000s and has been collecting and playing strictly vinyl ever since. In 2013, he started his own radio show Oonops Drops, a monthly mixtape-style show featuring a host of international top DJs, broadcast on Brooklyn Radio in New York City. This show inspired the first volume of this compilation, which was released in early 2018 on Agogo Records, alongside the album and 7-inch releases featuring artists from his radio network. Then, Oonops finally founded his own sustainable music label bearing the eponymous name. Now, just in time for the 200th episode of his Brooklyn Radio show, Oonops returns to Agogo Records with Vol. 3, which is packed with favorites and rare gems discovered through his extensive community of like-minded collaborators. Featuring Lamp, Nautilus, Nova70, 45trio, Kazumi Kaneda, Kutiman, Hover, Pat Van Dyke, Emapea, HF International, ShinSight Trio, Groove Train, Golden Throat Note, and Mariko Nakabayashi.

Hot on the heels of the Tokyo Bliss and Funk Tide sets, Tokyo-based DJ Notoya delivers Tokyo Pulse, a new juicy selection of funk and modern soul recorded in Tokyo in the '70s and '80s. Most tracks here are making their debut outside of Japan and the album, like its predecessors, has been designed by Manuel Sepulveda (Optigram) and is annotated by DJ Notoya. The audio has been newly mastered in Tokyo by Nippon Columbia Records and remastered for vinyl by Colorsound in Paris. Tokyo Pulse's lush funk selection open with the nocturnal groove of Naomi Chiaki's "Yoru E Isogu Hito," recorded in 1978. The track perfectly sets the mood with its laid-back tempo and late-night atmosphere. From there, Yumi Murata's "Ranhansha" (1979) brings a funkier touch, before the mellower funk of L-E-V-E-L's "Bagdad No Atari Nite" signals the stylistic shift toward the early 1980s. Side one closes with GAM's "Lake In The Forest," an elegant reggae-inflected piece from 1980, played by several musicians from the cult Arakawa Band. Side two opens with a leap into the late 1980s via Nami Shimada's "Mitsumeteirunoni," a superb mid-tempo electro-funk track. This is followed by the earthy folk-soul of Bread & Butter's "Memory," originally released in 1974 on Blow Up Records, and featuring a who's who of Japanese music, including Haruomi Hosono, Ray Ohara, Tatsuo Hayashi, and Shigeru Suzuki. Keyboardist Minoru Koyama's instrumental "After Image" adds a cinematic, fusion-leaning dimension, while Chikara Ueda & The Power Station's "Island Cuckoo," released in 1979 on Denon, injects a cool dose of Brazilian-tinged funk energy. The compilation closes with Higurashi's superb funk-folk track "Anata Wa Doko Ni Irundesuka," a reflective 1974 recording that brings the journey to a quietly emotional conclusion. Taken as a whole, Tokyo Pulse offers a vivid snapshot of Tokyo's evolving groove landscape, embracing a wide diversity of sounds that move fluidly between funk, modern soul, folk, reggae, electro, and jazz-inflected pop. Carefully curated by DJ Notoya, the album captures the subtle shifts in style, production, and mood that defined nearly fifteen years of Japanese music and stands as a new addition to Wewantsounds' ongoing series exploring Japan's rich musical heritage, reaffirming Tokyo's place as a city with a uniquely refined and forward-thinking musical pulse.

The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom, Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote "Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini" (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's "Son Tanto Triste," descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own somber tribute to the director. Disgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his Trilogy Of Life, Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in European history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the ultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. CD comes in matt-laminate gatefold ecopak. Limited LP edition of 500 copies on blood red vinyl in gatefold matt-laminate sleeve (CSR 362LP).

Color vinyl version. Ever since the late 1950s bossa-nova revolution, Brazil's influence on French music has been undeniable. Pierre Barouh, Georges Moustaki, and a vast array of lesser known artists, all made the Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB) an axis of promotion at the service of a cool and metaphysical, modern and mixed Brazilian lifestyle. Some were seduced by the poetic languor of the bossa, some were looking for fun, and others just loved the American hybridization of jazz-bossa, jazz-samba. With emotion, arrangements for violin and supple guitar licks, bossa nova rapidly changed. A transformation that can be heard in the Tchic Tchic: French Bossa Nova 1963-1974 compilation, the result of a cultural reappropriation, which traveled through the United States and supplemented itself in France. A musical revolution that has remained significant, bossa nova was born in Rio. From 1956 to 1961, Brazil lived through its golden years. In five years, the country had invented its modernist style. American jazzmen then took over. In particular, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and guitarist Charlie Byrd. In November 1962, the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs funded a "Bossa-Nova" concert at Carnegie Hall in New York, inviting the genre's pioneers. In Brazil, the 1964 military coup quickly ended this euphoria. The destructive atmosphere that ensued pushed many Brazilian musicians to leave, if not to exile. Thus, Tom Jobim, Sergio Mendes, and Joao Gilberto arrived to the United States. In New York, Joao Gilberto met saxophonist Stan Getz. At the time, he was married to the Bahianese Astrud Weinert Gilberto, who had a German father. She had never sung before, but she knew how to speak English. Getz therefore asked her to replace her husband on "The Girl From Ipanema". The Getz/Gilberto record with Tom Jobim on piano, was released in March 1964. Phil Ramone, the "pope of pop" was in charge of sound. Bossa nova arrived in Paris through the classic "guitar-voice" channel. But France loved jazz and Paris had already welcomed its American contributors. Features Les Masques, Isabelle Aubret, Christianne Legrand, Jean Constantin, Billy Nencioli & Baden Powell, Marpessa Dawn, Jean-Pierre Sabar, Sophia Loren, Isabelle, Sylvia Fels, Frank Gérard, Ann Sorel, Charles Level, Andrea Parisy, Audrey Arno, Aldo Frank, Clarinha, Hit Parade des Enfants, Jean-Pierre Lang, Magalie Noël, and Françoise Legrand. CD version includes 24-page booklet with liner notes in French and English. Double-LP version includes printed undersleeve with liner notes in French and English; also includes download code.

Wewantsounds presents Ayam El Disco, a new selection of Egyptian 1980s disco and boogie cassette tracks curated by Egyptian DJ Disco Arabesquo, following his highly acclaimed Sharayet El Disco. Most tracks make their vinyl debut in this set. A journey through the funky sounds of 1980s Egypt, Ayam El Disco ("Disco Days") features Ammar El Sherei, Al Massrieen, and other underground artists from Cairo's vibrant cassette culture. The audio has been remastered for vinyl by David Hachour at Colorsound Studio in Paris, and the LP features artwork by Egyptian graphic designer Heba Tarek, along with a two-page insert showcasing the original cassette artwork and insightful liner notes by Moataz Rageb. Based in Amsterdam, the Egyptian DJ has spent years collecting rare tapes from the 1980s and early 1990s -- a period that transformed Egypt's musical landscape and shaped his own listening experience. By the 1980s, the cassette format had become a revolutionary medium in Egypt. Affordable and easily duplicated, tapes allowed artists to work independently while absorbing global influences such as disco, funk, and synth-pop through imported and bootleg recordings. Rather than mirroring Western club culture, these sounds were adapted to local contexts. Disco entered everyday life -- played at home, in cars, at weddings, beaches, and family gatherings - resulting in a distinctly Egyptian interpretation rooted in Arabic musical traditions. Ayam El Disco reflects this era through a carefully curated selection ranging from smooth disco and boogie to funkier instrumentals and early proto-Jeel sounds. Also featuring Firkit Americana Show, Firkit Hany Shenoda, Mostafa El Sakka, Hamid El Shaeri, Firkit El Pharana, Omar Fathy, Ammar El Sherei, Medhat Saleh, Aida El Ayoubi, and Ahmed Adaweya.

"All The Young Droids: Junkshop Synth pop 1978-1985 is a new compilation that charts the underbelly of the epoch-defining sound of the synthesizer in '80s popular music. Compiled by curator Phil King, the music here connects the dots between DIY synth enthusiasts grappling with new, cheap synthesizers at the tail-end of punk and wannabe, jobbing songwriters enthral to the new music pioneered by Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller's Mute Records. Featuring rare tracks of auto-didactic progressive pop music, proto-techno punk, shoot-for-the-stars-land-in-the-gutter chart flops and heralded, underground synth classics, School Daze paints a picture of beautiful failure. Complete with extensive sleeve notes written by King and never before seen imagery, all 24 tracks were remastered by RPM in-house engineer Simon Murphy, many from vinyl copies due to lost master tapes. The story told on All The Young Droids is one of the dawning opportunity presented by both the emergence to the market of cheaper analog synthesizers and the distribution networks plus indie labels that exploded with the advent of punk music in 1976. While the music that sprouted out all over the globe in the wake of these factors was decried as fake, plastic, a refutation of punk's guitar-led revolution, it's telling that much of the music on All The Young Droids was created in bedrooms, ramshackle studios and home-made set ups with often borrowed equipment. In the era of record labels jumping to capitalize on the success of The Sex Pistols, The Clash (both on major labels, of course) these artists struggled to stand out from a new gold-rush with next to no budget or PR team. With radio and labels desperate for the new Yahoo, what resulted was a testament to necessity being the mother of invention."

Welcome to the Ska Beat!, the sound that came from Jamaica between 1961-1967. Based on the American R&B and doo-wop records that the sound systems in Kingston Town used to play. The American records style started to mellow out while the Jamaicans preferred a more upbeat sound. So, to meet this demand the sound system bosses became record producers to cater for this demand. Sir Coxsone, Duke Reid lead the way by putting the top musicians on the Island in the studio to make this ska sound! Here for your enjoyment is a selection of some of the top tunes that made ska so great. Features The Skatalites, Johnny Moore, and Roland Alphonso. CD version includes two bonus tracks.

"Following the well-received Prince Philip Presents 2LP compilation, here's a lovely overview of the second phase of Philip's career, as engineer and producer at his own studio, HC&F. These ten tracks comprise our favorites from his production catalog, spanning the mid '80s when the studio really got going, right up until 1996 and his last set of proper productions. The album holds a mix of well-known classics like the Garnett Silk, lesser-known album only cuts like the Frankie Paul, NY dancehall 12" staples like the Scion Success or Shelene, as well as some lesser-known gems. This album also contains two previously unreleased cuts -- a wicked mid '80s Tony Tuff, and the wild vocoder laden 1985 theme song for Philip's 'Get Smart' radio show, which ran for many many years on New York University's WNYU radio station."

SOUL 011CD

By 1960, the sound of black popular music had turned away from a driving, largely up-tempo rhythm and blues to-wards a more emotionally poignant style described at the time as secularized gospel. The term "soul" popped up here and there, but only became common parlance after Ray Charles's "I Believe To My Soul" was released at the end of 1959. This compilation, part of the History of Soul series, brings together the finest tunes before soul went main-stream, accompanied by a 28-page booklet exploring the historical background from the years 1959 and 1960. Featuring Isley Brothers, The Soul Seekers, Barrett Strong, The Sensational Wonders, The Meditation Singers, The Falcons, Sugar Pie DeSanto, The Sunset Travelers, Big Jay McNeely, The Highway QC's. The Miracles, Ray Charles, Little Willie John, The Antioch Temple Choir, Eugene Church, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Donoman & The Lakettes, Hank Ballard, Earl Gaines, James Brown, The Famous Ward Singers, Harold Burrage, The Soul Stirrers, Jackie Wilson, The Staple Singers, The 5 Royales, Major Lance, 5 Blind Boys Of Mississippi, Ike & Tina Turner, The Miracles, The Kelly Brothers, A Man Mable John, Rufus & Carla, The Staple Singers, Earl King, Sam Cooke, Singin' Sammy Ward, Mary Wells, Little Esther, U.S. Bonds, The Top Notes, J.J.
