Get Down On It

I am really happy & honoured to announce the officially licensed release of this rare disco / modern soul gem from 1980. Here is my small story about this : I have been introduced to this record a few years back by DJ Klas. On the very first listen, it made me crazy & I went on an intensive & long quest to get myself a copy of the 45. It then became a kind of classics of my DJ sets, the record always being in my bag. It is definitely a sure shot for the dancefloor ! 

I then got in touch with the artist Lamar Thomas, first to try to get a spare copy, but after a few conversations on the web, I told myself it would be nice to give this rare & excellent record a new release. Pascal Rioux & Favorite Recordings finally agreed on the idea, and here it is. 

Very happy & honoured to have contributed to this nice release. Big thanks to Josh Goldman aka DJ Klas, Roger Thornill (for providing the original sleeve art) & to Favorite Recordings for believing in this project!

Take a smooth ride back to the golden era of hip-hop with this 90s-inspired instrumental — blending jazzy guitar riffs, soulful melodies, and laid-back boom-bap drums. This beat pays homage to the legends while keeping the sound fresh and timeless.

Perfect for late-night sessions, cruising, or anyone who misses that true old-school flavor with a modern twist.

William & The Young Five - You Turn Me On (JKriv Rework)

Almost two years after the success of The Tony Allen Experiments and a few months after the release of the 7” single Amore, Nu Guinea return with a new LP published by their newborn label NG Records. Nuova Napoli is the result of an extensive musical research that became a historical investigation of the sound that shaped Napoli during the ‘70s and ‘80s, starting from the cross-pollination of genres (disco, jazz-funk, african rhythms) which forms Nu Guinea’s DNA.

*Lyrics of “Je Vulesse” are an extract of the poem “Je vulesse truvà pace” from the poet Eduardo De Filippo.

The Napoli formed, Berlin-based duo Nu Guinea creates sounds that are influenced from the idea of an exotic, far distanced place. By combining various music styles that are related to dancefloor music in its purest sense, they create a distinct sound, touching genre routes that go from obscure disco to world-ethno music.

PREMIERE: Nu Guinea - Je Vulesse [NG Records]

Soundway Records present ’24 Hours in A Disco 1978 - 82’, 7 cuts of relentless disco grooves from the sublimely gifted Kiki Gyan. Hailed as Africa’s answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from the lowly status of high school dropout to being ranked eighth in a poll of the greatest keyboardists in the world (occupying the rarefied air of the top ten with heavyweights like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie Wonder) as well as becoming an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - all before his twenty-first birthday. 

Out on his own, he produced a series of highly ambitious disco records aimed at positioning him as an international star, but weighed down by the excesses of the era, Gyan saw his meteoric rise matched by an equally swift fall back into obscurity. 

Loved dearly by his contemporaries and sorely missed since his death in 2005 the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko ‘Kiki’ Gyan is one often told with warning by his friends to the new generation of aspiring Ghanaian popstars.

Soundway Records now collects the best of Gyan’s work as a frontman and solo artist, featuring an array of electrifying disco grooves that still sound contemporary (and in some cases futuristic) decades after their initial release.

Released on CD and 2xLP both formats are accompanied with detailed liner notes written by Uchenna Ikonne. LP version comes with a free MP3 download of the release.
