Wah Wah 45s celebrates 25 years as an independent record label with a deep and soulful selection of their most loved, and often perhaps most overlooked releases.From the jazz inflected Scandinavian soul of Sesong and Espen Horne, to all time classic cuts from Allison Crockett, Part-Time Heroes, Stac, Colman Brothers and Dele Sosimi & The Estuary 21; from folky faves from Speeka, Bev Lee Harling and Isaac Birituro & The Rail Abandon to Afro-soul nuggets from Léa Mondo, Afla Sackey & Afrik Bawantu and Eparapo; from canny covers courtesy of Honeyfeet, Henri-Pierre Nöel and the Hackney Colliery Band to electro-soul beauties from Jamie Finlay, Lawne, Hunrosa, Paper Tiger and The Milk, remixed by Scrimshire; from dubbed out reggae moments from Youthsayers, Resonators and Soothsayers remixed by Prince Fatty, to under-the-radar gems from Max Cole, Sam, Scrimshire, TALC, Hardkandy, The Gene Dudley Group, Kutiman and Gideon Conn - Wah Wah 45s is a label that's been committed to unearthing and sharing sonorous sounds and serious song-writing for a quarter of a century, and this is probably their most heart-felt and complete compilation to date.
