volume 3 showcases more of the unique tropical music created in panama in the fertile decades of the 1960s and 70s. panama is the thin, tropical bridge that connects north and south america, and is home to three million culturally diverse people, its music is a soulful blend of latin american, caribbean, european and indigenous forms. from bilingual calypsos to guajira jazz, from tropical guarachas to cumbia tamboreras, panamanian musicians fearlessly combined and brilliantly executed styles that reflected their multicultural environment during a turbulent time in the young countrys history. this collection presents more of the golden age of panamanian music and the music of the combos nacionales on rare recordings that have never been released outside the isthmus until now.

kenny dope gonzales and lil louie vega made their production debut on the new york label way back when, so there can be no one more fitting to compile the first new album release on the imprint. in case you didnt know, strictly rhythm were one of the most important house labels of the 1990s. established by entrepreneur mark finkelstein and serious club babe gladys pizzarro, the label would launch the careers of, among others, roger sanchez, erick morillo and, as we ve seen, masters at work. pretty significant, then! strictly maw is an album no true househead will want to miss
limited vinyl only release from an anonymous producer who has released on some of the finest underground labels in the uk and beyond. the moodymanc ep makes a (very) knowing tribute to the detroit legend kenny dixon jr. the music is superb deep, jazzy house, inspired as much by the city of manchester and the likes of electrik chair and mr. scruff as much as it by kenny, theo and friends. in fact it has already been played by mr. scruff and the unabombers! no doubt when the vinyl hits the shelves it will no doubt be getting plays from loads more of the cream of underground djs
