“Boogie Breakdown” is a collection of the eighties Disco period in South Africa. Compiled by Deano Sounds of the Boston US based label Cultures Of Soul and Dj Okapi, the disc highlights the largely forgotten period and the US influence on the artists highlighted here. The disc features two tracks each from six of South Africa’s most prominent acts during this period. “Good Vibes” from Harari features sublime keys and funky guitar riffs. “I Wanna Be Myself” by Don Laka is filled with wicked synths and thumping bass grooves. These tracks could’ve easily fit right in the eighties boogie era and certainly deserved a larger audience. Cultures Of Soul compilations have successfully explored various rhythms from around the globe and this is no exception.
