VARIOUS ARTISTS - AYO KE DISCO: BOOGIE, POP & FUNK FROM THE SOUTH CHINA SEA (1974-1988)

Soundway general manager Alice Whittington, aka Norsicaa (DJ), selects 10 rare

tracks from local labels, officially reissued on vinyl for the first time - forming a

snapshot of the vibrant discotheques and live scenes across Indonesia,

Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

The artists featured here were known for exploring traditional sounds alongside

funk, disco, synth-pop and even political psych-rock, genres that were indicative

of the exciting but often turbulent period. But despite the post-war backdrop of

instability there came unprecedented levels of economic prosperity. With a

hopeful buzz filling the air, the music scene was helping lead the way in reshaping

the new identities of the region.

'Ayo Ke Disco' comes in a gatefold sleeve with liner notes and photos from the

artists.
