Luke Una È Soul Cultura Vol 2

Mr Bongo Records releases the second instalment of Luke Una's compilation

Great to have Luke Una back again, and we've pushed the boat out for this IPA! The enthusiasm from the industry was mirrored by record buyers and demonstrated that in the right hands, moving through genres, tempos and decades can make perfect musical sense.

Available from the web shop now. An all killer IPA filled to the gunnels with Mosaic Incognito, Amarillo, Strata, Eldorado & Idaho 7.

The compilation follows on from where Vol.1 left off, at times venturing into the deeper, spiritual, soulful, downtempo, experimental aspects of his tastes. New, old, rare and under-discovered music from around the world, woven together in Luke’s incredibly unique style.

The double vinyl LP comes housed in a gatefold sleeve with Obi strip, and includes a limited edition fanzine written by the man himself.

With some of the best DJs and selectors, there is a certain mysterious sound or underlying feeling which unites the music they play, regardless of genre, year or tempo. British DJ, producer and music maestro Luke Una is a master of telling a story through music and this compilation is a perfect example of his musical alchemy in action. The second volume in his È Soul Cultura series, Una's intriguingly woven pattern of new, old, rare and under-discovered music from around the world became the soundtrack to rejuvenated positivity and won him favour with record outlets.

The compilation isn't just peacocking his crate diving ability, but it's a sonic narrative that engages the ebbs and flows of salsa, nu-disco, psych rock and Balearic. It's a grab bag of sounds, and each one is as intriguing and groovy as the last. Here's to a hopeful trilogy.
