Mammane Sani – La Musique Électronique Du Niger
«The original 1978 cassette (one of only two known to still exist!) was discovered in a Niger music archive by the dedicated explorer Christopher Kirkley. He connected with the creator of this lush music, Mammane Sanni Abdoulaye, to once again let it shine. Mammane is well known in Niger as his music has provided the undertone to radio and television programs for decades but his sole album has laid dormant since it’s release. Now these gentle rolls and sways of electric organ tones, transcribing traditional Wodaabe and Tuareg melodies as well as original expressions, once again roll into life and we couldn’t be happier.»http://www.discogs.com/Mammane-Sani-La-Musique-Électronique-Du-Niger/release/4505053

On Soundway’s latest release - a treasure trove of synth jams, pop, samba boogie, Balearic and electro from 1980 & 90s Brazil - the tracks are picked by Millos Kaiser, one half of the Brazilian duo Selvagem, who is at the helm of throwing some of the country's best dance parties. It’s a rare compilation that offers Brazilian music actually picked by a Brazilian. This collection of sixteen tracks doesn’t comprise tracks scoured from deeply in-demand records, the rare sort that sell for eye-watering sums and that collectors spend years tracking down.
