Dubbed "the most recorded drummer in the Philippines", Jun Regalado’s career has spanned nearly 60 years. His work can be heard on over 400 albums, including those of the most renowned Filipino artists such as VST & Co and Celeste Legaspi. This track comes from the 1977 recordings he made with famed jazz musician Eddie Munji III. It’s a heavy funk instrumental, driven by the trumpet section and percussion including the traditional Filipino racked gong chime kulintang.

Soundway Records presents a collection of Nigerian music chronicling a time when drum machines, synthesisers, imported pop, reggae, disco and soul collided with highlife, juju and cultural music.

The late 70s saw a period of political turbulence and prompted change across the country. Following suit, musicians and producers entered a period of experimentation, adaptation, modification and innovation, using new technology to renew and refresh cultural traditions. Nigerians formed their own unique approach to the limitless creativity these new instruments offered, to reveal a distinct sound which would dominate local airwaves for the decade to come. Nigeria Special Volume 3 celebrates the rich diversity of culture and musical styles of the nation, showcasing eighteen tracks across various genres which laid foundations for the innovation of Afrobeats artists of today.

As we move towards a "tropicalisation" of the Mediterranean area, here comes the album "Mediterraneo Tropical" as a sound guide to face the climate changes. This album has a different conception from the previous one. It has been made on the go during last Summer gigs around the Mediterranean Sea. It's directly inspired by beach parties and by the vibrating people met along the way. Once Summer touring was over, Didje Doo finished the work at his home studio in Florence & mixed it with Dario Firuzabadi nearby.

The sound of this album is still deeply connected with the sun and sand, and it brings together elements from different musical cultures from Mali to Central America with the purpose to move your body & lift your soul. It contains three exciting vocal features, Abou Diarra from Mail, Owen G (G combo) from Portugal, and Scott Orr from Canada.
