Following the acclaimed Kouté jazz, we are glad to announce our new project compilation with parisian label Heavenly Sweetness in collaboration with afro/antilles record expert Nicolas Skliris. This project, that we introduced in mid February as Digital Zandoli with a limited mixtape, aimed to gather a wide spectrum of tracks from pre zouk era in the french West Indies. We picked 12 slept on tracks amongst piles of obscure caribbean records to show a broader spectrum to the Zouk music style that is poorly defined.  These tracks reveal the merger between traditional and other rhythmic genres (funk, disco, afro-beat, Latin Brazilian …), with the addition of synthesizers and drums machine to the creative process. Original, magnetic and highly danceable.

Joutro Mundo - Nao Force

Say You Love Me wasn’t “Om” Alec Khaoli’s first solo recording but the 1985 EP solidified the bass player and songwriter’s standing as one of South Africa’s most consistently innovative pop auteurs. He built a career on ubiquitous rock, pop and soul hits with groundbreaking bands like the Beaters, Harari and Umoja. But Khaoli’s seemingly endless fountain of music continued outside these ensembles, where he usually played bass and contributed songwriting and vocals.

Khaoli released several successful solo works while he made records with Umoja and worked on other productions with friends. This creativity was aided by Khaoli’s own recording studio. He was the first South African to have a privately-owned studio. As black artists were forced to record during lunch breaks and didn’t get sufficient access and time in the white-owned studios, having his studio allowed Khaoli to develop in his own way. Hence his productive output during the 80’s and early 90’s, releasing 5 LPs with Umoja and 5 solo LPs, along with numerous singles and EPs.

There’s something broad and dynamic about the almost epic pop sound Khaoli creates on Say You Love Me. Being the first South African to take control his recording process and thereby free himself from one of apartheid’s many strictures, he took his vision of music to new realms and made timeless music for the dance floor in the process.

Nuova Napoli

Nu Guinea - Ddoje Facce (STW Premiere)

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]

Fort d’avoir remis au goût du spritz la variété italienne en France, Alex Rossi revient le temps d’un album intemporel et définitif (signé par Kwaidan records et accompagné d’agnès b) sur ses origines transalpines, de Lucio Battisti à Pino D’Angio et sur sa déviance pour l’Italo-Disco. « Domani è un’altra notte », c’est son titre, sortira à l’automne aux premiers jours de l’été indien réalisé par « La Famiglia » aka ses amis Arnaud Pilard et Romain Guerret (Dondolo, Aline). 
6 ans après « L’ultima canzone » (sorti chez Born Bad), Alex Rossi « le plus italien des chanteurs français » ne pouvait pas rester que sur ce succès.
« Tutto va bene quando facciamo l’amore » est le premier extrait de son testament rital où tout est résumé en une seule phrase. Gimmick fédérateur qui donne envie de faire l’amour « con piacere » n’importe où et n’importe quand et où se balancent pendentif et gourmette dorés sur un tube humide accompagné par la chanteuse Jo Wedin qui lui souffle « J’adore le sax » joué par Laurent Bardainne (Poni Hoax, Limousine). 
Si, tutto va bene!

After having blown a refreshing breeze of Italian pop over France, Alex Rossi is back with a timeless and authoritative album (released on Kwaidan Records with the help of agnès b) centered around his Italian roots, from Lucio Battisti to Pino D’Angio, and for his Italo-Disco leanings. Entitled “Domani è un’altra note”, the full-length, which was produced by “La Famiglia”, aka his pals Arnaud Pilard and Romain Guerret (Dondolo, Aline) will be ready just in time for Indian Summer.
Six years after “L’ultima canzone” (released on Born Bad), Alex Rossi, “the most Italian of French singers” could not simply rest on his laurels.


“Tutto va bene quando facciamo l’amore”, the first single from this Italian testament, sums it up in one neat sentence. A unifying, gimmicky ditty that makes everyone feel like making love “con piacere” (anytime, anywhere) swings like a heavy gold chain and matching bracelet over a sweaty number featuring singer Jo Wedin, who coos “J’adore le sax”, played by Laurent Bardainne (Poni Hoax, Limousine). 
Si, tutto va bene!"

Alex Rossi  - Tutto Va Bene Quando Facciamo L'amore

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.
