Electric Mind - Summing Up

Jago - I'm Going To Go (Original Mix)

Electric Cues (Take 1)

To our delight, African funk master Jagger Botchway has been busy in the studio, getting to work on a rare soca and highlife record with a number of musicians he collaborated with from various points of his career. Cultures of Soul have striven to find a host of relevant remixers to match up to Jagger's achivements. These names, already schooled in the colourful sounds of Afro-funk, feature Berlin's Africaine 808, Switzerland's Alma Negra, New York's Names You Can Trust and Manchester's Ruf Dug – whose "Tight Disco Dub" of "Moko Le Dzen" trumps the rest as our favourite. Heavily led by a percussive backbone, the rework takes us on an intercontinental journey of instruments, between African drumming patterns and a conventional Western drum kit. This is further invigorated by a reverb-rich trumpet line and a synth line peppered by chordal stabs throughout. A surefire way to ensure a workout on any dancefloor.

Ntombi Ndaba's "Do You Trust Amajita?" is the second track made available for streaming prior to the release of the compilation "Gumba Fire: Bubblegum Soul & Synth Boogie in 1980s South Africa", out on 9 March 2018 on Triple Vinyl, CD and digital.

The compilation features 16 rare cuts handpicked by Miles Cleret (Soundway) and DJ Okapi (Afrosynth) highlights the period that nestles in between the ‘70s (where American-influenced jazz, funk and soul bumped shoulders with local Mbaqanga) and the ‘90s when Kwaito and eventually house music ruled the dancefloors of urban South Africa.

These tracks have been made available for the first time on digital and first time on vinyl outside of their original release.

Pre-order now via our website www.soundwayrecords.com or via Bandcamp bit.ly/2B4JwNM . Vinyl orders via these 2 sites will receive a FREE digital download of the full album from release date.
