Bob Azzam Airto Moreira
Batucada Por Favor Album Sampler

This 1983 cult classic Belgian Electro-Afro-fusion LP from Crammed Disc gets an overdue reissue! Constantly being (re)discovered by generations of fans, musicians and DJs, this record was once described as "Fela Kuti-meets-Kraftwerk-on-the-dancefloor!". Landmark stuff for multiple genres here!

The hottest street soul joint in a minute! Manchester’s Balearic synth lord Ruf Dug teams up with vocalist Private Joy for a sexy strut down your nearest palm tree-lined beach. Ruff Dug doesn't even remember making the beat, which adds to the hazy charm and might explain the beautifully sparse and wandering piano solo. An alternate Reggae mix sits on the flip and both versions have instrumentals on their respective sides. A total must-buy for the tropical DJs!
