These are tracks that have been inspiring us at home, in the office, while DJing, and on the dancefloor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the cross-genre spirit of the series, for Volume 8 we have selected music from the worlds of soul, boogie, disco-reggae, jazz-funk, and Latin, with a hefty chunk of beloved Brazilian music. Pulling these compilations together is always a highlight of our year, and eight volumes in, we feel this is one of our strongest to date. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album's journey begins with a heartfelt epic by As Ganhadeiras de Itapuã, from the Bahian town of Itapuã. It's an area of Brazil that holds a special place in David 'Mr Bongo' Buttle's heart, and where he first met our dear friend, Luciano Rodrigues Dos Santos, to whose memory this compilation is dedicated to. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStaying in Northern Brazil, next up is a contemporary dancefloor gem by Ubunto, a DJ and producer from Salvador, which also features As Ganhadeiras de Itapuã. The raw, dusty, punchy sounds of zabumba drummer Castanheiro and the furious guitar-heavy dancer by Tyaraju \u0026amp; Dutra are just two more examples of the Brazilian beauties included on the compilation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is also a heavy dose of soul music on this volume. The Canadian-gospel sounds of Trevor Dandy, a modern-soul rarity by Wil Collins \u0026amp; Willpower (which has been on our list for years), and a soul-stepper masterpiece by Tommy McGee, are just a handful of the highlights. Not stopping there, we are incredibly proud to present an exclusive rework of The Sylvers' 'Wish That I Could Talk To You' by the legendary Kenny Dope. Kenny has excelled himself with this one, fattening up the drums while bringing more drama to the horns and strings. The song now feels more contemporary yet still stays true to it's roots. Complete genius! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElsewhere on the compilation, you'll find a cosmic reggae-not-reggae disco oddity by Tapper Zukie, a South African jazz-funk-disco groover by Mac Mathunjwa, a sought-after Brazilian compacto by Eduardo Araújo, and a Brit-funk \/ boogie treasure by Powerline. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraversing time, genre, and location, all the tracks on Volume 8 are favourites for their own unique reasons. Music will forever be a constant source of comfort, able to affect you deeply in the most meaningful ways. It's the gift that keeps giving, and there is so much more to learn, discover, and share, both old and new.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 As Ganhadeiras de Itapuã - Maré Mansa\u003cbr\u003e2 Ubunto - O Vento Part.
