Pickup currently unavailable at 12 Bar Music and Social - Exeter
Description
'Ayo Ke Disco' (meaning "Let's go to the disco" in Indonesian) celebrates the musical identities emerging from the newly independent countries of Southeast Asia during the 1970s and 80s.
Soundway general manager Alice Whittington, aka Norsicaa (DJ), has curated 10 rare tracks from local labels, officially reissued on vinyl for the first time. This collection offers a glimpse into the vibrant discotheques and live music scenes across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.
The featured artists explore traditional sounds mixed with funk, disco, synth-pop, and political psych-rock—genres that reflected the exciting yet often turbulent era. Despite the post-war instability, the region experienced an economic boom, with music playing a pivotal role in reshaping national identities.
'Ayo Ke Disco' comes in a gatefold sleeve with liner notes and photos from the artists.
