Holy disco biscuits this is compilation of the year levels of brilliance. Soundway dig into the underground discotheque and live music scenes of Indonesia,
Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines from mid 70s to late 80s and pull out the jams. Funk, soul, disco, wailing sax, lush wacka wacka soul, synth electro boogie and even some fuzzy monsters. Every track's a gem and every song a must for DJ sets.

'Ayo Ke Disco' (meaning "Let's go to the disco" in Indonesian) celebrates
the musical identities emerging from the newly independent countries in
South-East Asia during the 1970s and 80s.
 
For Fans of: Sound of Siam compilations, Priscilla Chan,
Lovin' Mighty Fire compilation, Tanamur City compilation.

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.
