Kalita are proud to unveil the first ever compilation focussing on the phenomenon of ‘Burger Highlife’, a crossover of West African melodies with synthesizers, disco and boogie that took over Ghanaian airwaves during the 1980’s and beyond. Highlighting key recordings from genre-defining artists including Thomas Frempong and George Darko, as well as more obscure sought-after tracks by elusive bands such as Aban and Uncle Joe’s Afri-Beat, Kalita come to the rescue of audiophiles, DJs and music-lovers alike with ‘Borga Revolution!’ Spread over a double-LP housed in a gatefold sleeve. Accompanied by a 16-page booklet featuring extensive interview-based liner notes on each artist and never-before-seen archival photos.

The 1970s had witnessed an increased Western airtime and physical presence in Ghana introducing funk, soul and disco sounds to the region. By the turn of the decade the country was also enduring economic turmoil, with rising poverty, military dictatorships and long periods of enforced curfews (amongst other factors) making it impossible for artists to survive.

As a result, many Ghanaian artists with a broader outlook began to pursue their careers in the West, moving to both Europe and America in search of stardom. It was here that Ghanaian musicians developed a digitised version of highlife music which fully embraced Western contemporary music styles and newly introduced technology such as the DX7 synthesizer and various drum machines.

It is in this context in which the evolution of Ghanaian dance music and the emergence of ‘burger highlife’ was born. With ‘Borga Revolution!’ Kalita endeavour to tell this story, with prominent and lesser-known musicians’ accounts and documentary evidence providing a comprehensive understanding of this shift to the digital age.

LES NOUILLES LIBRES BLEUES ET MAAGIC

Face at My Window (Kyoto Jazz Massive Remixes) / Beyond the Dream (musclecars' Reimaginations)

Beyond the Dream (musclecars' Reimagination)

This first release is dedicated to the sought- mix "Je-nà / Pagaia" by Tony Esposito 1983 - cult record and more and more "expensive" - which is a rarity of Afro-cosmic Italian music. A very popular piece at the time and fortunately returned in vogue today thanks to many followers, DJs and lovers to the great "Balearic" family.
The music of Tony Esposito is inspired by sounds from many countries around the world, mixing tribal rhythms with Neapolitan melodies, well represented by the track "Je -nà", where the wide range of styles is manifested in its hypnotic sounds and rhythm in his percussion.
The two tracks were born in 1983 after a trip to Jamaica and were composed together with Pino Daniele.
The style and sound of these two pieces reflects the influence of Bob Marley and his group, with whom Tony Esposito has worked both in Italy and in Kingston Town, Jamaica .

12" hand-numbered limited edition available 28th September 2014.
The first 100 copies pressed on blue coloured vinyl!


A Tony Esposito - Je-Nà (Mario Boncaldo Original 1983 Special Mix)

Wah Wah 45s are proud to bring four remixes of our Afrobeat legend to vinyl! You No Fit Touch Am has been universally received with open arms.

A perfect document of the lessons Dele learned in Fela Kuti’s ranks during the 70s and 80s, but brought firmly up-to-date and with contemporary social comment as vital to the afrobeat genre as any rhythm or instrument. To take that forward thinking even further Wah Wah 45s commissioned four huge remixes from some of the UKs most interesting new production names.

Tru Thoughts’ no-nonsense house producer Titeknots first delivered us a massive tropical-house take on Sanctuary back in January. Gaining radio support from Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music, Wah Wah 45s received an endless amount of requests for this to appear on vinyl, so here we are.

Alongside it Wolf Music legend and in-demand house remixer Medlar brings an, intense and insistent disco flavoured rework. To complete the package two relatively new production duos bring quite distinctly different versions.

Warsaw artists Ptaki take on slow burner We Siddon We Dey Look with characteristic punch and new London outfit Modified Man light a broken beat fire under the album title track You No Fit Touch Am.

Four tracks of killer dancefloor fodder for pretty much every occasion. Taking the already incendiary music of Dele Sosimi in a more angular and electronic direction, worthy of a rare 12” release on the Wah Wah imprint, we’re sure you’ll agree

Frànçois Atlas Cassette mix - Egypte Trans Maghreb Amazigh Chaabi

Dj mix broadcasted live on 21st April 2020 on Palestinian radio Alhara
(yamakan.place/palestine)


A special focus on one of the most intense, beautiful, fascinating, trippy, glorious, aristocratic and bat shit crazy music scenes that ever graced our ears: Jùjú.

1980’s Lagos is the Mecca.

King Sunny Ade, Sir Shina Peters, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, Admiral Dele Abiodun and a bunch of others luminaries are the stars.

And when we say stars, we are talking Led Zeppelin, Hendrix or James Brown level of fame and adoration... Even next level. Those guys are royalty, literally and constantly covered in bank notes by their fans night after night, till the sun is out. The songs on records last half an hour, sometimes more. The bands are 20, 30 people deep. The live shows are endless. The style is pristine. The skills are unmatched. The transe is godly.

This is celebration art, with substance, respect of tradition and still an incredibly modern attitude towards instruments, songwriting and performance. This is Pop music at its finest. This is Jújù.
