Various - Lagos Disco Inferno

(CD/2xLP) Academy LPs, 2010-03-16

Some call it Disco, some call it Boogie, Academy LPs call it the LAGOS DISCO INFERNO: 12 smokin' rarities straight from Nigeria, dating back to '76-82, compiled by Frank Gossner< (aka DJ FRANC O, SOULPUSHER) of VOODOO FUNK fame. Surprisingly familiar, yet intriguinly foreign, these tracks sound just as fresh today as they did 30+ years ago. The record is rife with horns, moog and bells and whistles to keep you up all night. Great liner notes by Dean Disi (Journalist and former Executive of TYC Records, Lagos) and a special message from extreme record hunter Damian Iwuagwu (Lagos). Following in the footsteps of amazing African re-issues of late such as OFEGE (ACADEMY LPS), PAX NICHOLAS and the NETTY FAMILY(DAPTONE), GHANA SPECIAL (SOUNDWAY), this album stands alone as the first compilation to focus on African Disco. But make no mistake, you won't hear any cheesy strings of nasty Roland Synths. This is straight up tough NIGERIAN DISCO FUNK!

Press Release :
Welcome to the LAGOS DISCO INFERNO, the first compilation of rare, Nigerian Disco to be released outside of Africa. Brought to you by ACADEMY LPs who also released the the Ofege and Mebusas albums.

Compiled by Frank Gossner of Voodoofunk.com, this record contains 12 tracks that represent the sound of Lagos in the late 1970s.

Dean Disi (Music Journalist and formerly Director of Lagos based label TYC Records) wrote the liner notes for this album:

"It was the era of sheer ecstasy. The music not only represents the vibrancy of youthful expressionism of the time but is also deeply rooted in African rhythm though not traditional in phraseology...
