Full on Electro Assault from WEE DJ's (aka Being), a slamming 4 track EP from the Edinburgh producer. Throughout the early and mid 90's, Being released a series of records on Weatherall's Special Emissions label. Collaborated with Claude Young and also produced the rare as hens teeth Two Lone Swordsmen And A Being 12" with Weatherall and Tenniswood, whilst his Tides album was remixed by Ectomorph, Insync and more. Years later he'd resurface as the Wee DJ's and releasing idiosyncratic electro on Daz Quayle's SCSI-AV label and Sativa's Gasoline imprint.

Highly sought after S.A. LP from 1985. Remastered from the original tapes and reissued for the first time by Afrosynth Records.When Shadrack Ndlovu & Ernest Segeel teamed up with Dane Stevenson, owner of Blue Tree Studio in downtown Johannesburg, and journeyman producer Taso Stephanou, South Africa’s bubblegum era had just begun, spurred on by the success of Shangaan disco. The relative success of their debut 12” ‘Don’t Bang The Taxi Door’, marketed aggressively at taxi ranks throughout the country, helped put the Blue Tree label on the map and E & S were invited back to record a full album: Taduma, featuring on keyboards Dr Buke, an in-demand session player from Soweto.Rooted in Africa, yet purely electronic, Taduma was a moderate hit, spurred by tracks like ‘Taxi Door’ and ‘Mhane’, its hypnotic refrain ‘Mhane, famba na wena’ meaning ‘Mother, I am going to you’. Other tracks like ‘Mapantsula’ and ‘Be Careful’ place Taduma within the street-savvy ‘pantsula’ style and dance synonymous with consecutive waves of music from disco to kwaito, house and beyond, while ‘Sikele Masike’ repurposes a traditional Shangaan work song. Vocally E & S are closer to rapping than singing, in a combination of English and vernacular – predating other credited pioneers of kwaito in SA like Senyaka and Spokes H. Driving the music instead of vocals are waves of searing synths over rudimentary but explosive drum machine sounds – the word ‘Taduma’ meaning the sound of the drum.

Best Italy reissue of "It's the Monkey", considered by some to be one of the Top 5 Italo-Disco tracks of all time? Nuts production, sounds effects, synth stabs, drums & arpeggios. "Street Dance" on the flip is also interesting, a more downtempo leftfield boogie affair.

It’s one of the best kept secrets of the Indonesian archipelago. Hidden away on a pop album inspired by The Police, lies ‘Licik’, a deep vocoder funk workout lasting over nine minutes. It’s the first recorded Indonesian song to use the vocoder in such a way.‘Licik’ is a hauntingly unique track and a testament to the quality of some of the best music the archipelago has to offer. Friends 82, consisting of Delly Rollies, Norman Rachman and the vocoder wizard Harry Sabar, wrote and recorded the track on the spot back in 1981. The B-side pays tribute to the original song, with a re-contextualisation of the original by Jakarta-born, Bali-based multi-instrumentalist Dea Barandana.Fully licensed from the songwriter and living legend Harry Sabar, Jiwa Jiwa seeks to offer a platform and hub to build bridges and connect natives of the archipelago and its diaspora around the world, across different generations. Focusing on the music and creating contemporary projects through a variety of disciplines.The record comes in a custom die cut sleeve with printed inner sleeve and a four page insert with extensive liner notes and photos.
