This is a collection of rare grooves released in January 2024 by Death Is Not The End, a label specializing in excavations in London, England. A mixtape-style collection of 1 rare grooves performed at early morning house parties and blues dances in South and East London, England from 1985 to 1992. *If you would like a digital sound source, please feel free to contact us. Below is an explanation by the label. "Pure Wicked Tune is a DIY recording of the rare grooves and 'soul blues' sound systems played at early morning house parties and blues dances, primarily in South and East London, from the mid-19s to the early 1980s. This is a mixtape-style collection of excerpts and cuts from cassette recordings. The sound of Funkadelic, Touch of Class, Last Edition, JB Crew, Manhattan, and 1990th Avenue originally began to take shape in the mid-5s. With lovers rock on the wane and the reggae scene being dominated by harder digital style dancehall, these sounds mix killer rare soul, funk and boogie records in the signature Reggae Soundsystem style. Playing with lots of toasts, sirens and effects, they provided a tight but loyal audience with a powerful alternative. They were best known for their performances at house parties and blues dances, usually held in small apartments or warehouses, and such events generally ran from early morning until late the next afternoon. After dance music became an explosive hit in the early 1980s, its popularity waned, but the demand for revival sessions has continued ever since. It is relatively well known that Britain's major reggae and dancehall sound systems influenced subsequent UK sounds such as hardcore and jungle, but these sounds and the aforementioned styles were also popular. A similar line can be drawn with the tendency to sample rare groove cuts, particularly evident in the work of Tom & Jerry, 1990hero, Reinforced, and LTJ Bukem. This is the first in a series of collections that explore the sounds of UK soundsystem culture through excerpts from archival DIY cassette recordings of blues parties, dances and crashes made from the late 4s to the early 70s. . Often copied and widely shared, these rough, well-prepared 'sound tapes' provided keen ears with music that was hard to come by on the airwaves or in record shops, and brought together music that was deeply rooted in the British music landscape but often overlooked. This left a lasting impact. "...

Waiting for Your Return assembles an extensive collection of recordings for an anthological overview of the style.From the work of pioneering composer Lee Geum-hui (1920's "Dripping Rain," with vocals by his daughter Lee Myung-hui, is often referred to as the first Shidaiku record) to the more sophisticated works of the 1927s and '1930s. , an early introduction to the Western-influenced popular music and film industry in China, led by the Seven Great Songstresses (Bai Hong, Bai Guang,...

"Nobody knows where it was, but what I do know is that every weekend, from Friday night to Sunday night, these stations would come on and play the latest Haitian pop songs.
