Treponem Pal Punk Phenomena

Soul Jazz Records’ long-lasting Punk 45 series are high-quality editions of early punk 45s. While previous editions have focussed on the early days of punk in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Akron, France, and proto-punk, this new edition focusses on mainly do-it-yourself, or self-released 45s, all made in the UK in the early days of punk.

You can argue the world needs another punk compilation like you need a Doc Marten kicking a hole in your head, but White Dopes on Punk is a cut above the average, focusing solely on the U.K. scene of the mid-to-late '70s but forgoing most of the usual suspects (i.e. the Sex Pistols and the Clash) to create an atypically warts-and-all snapshot of a singular moment in time. Alongside familiar landmarks like the Damned's "New Rose," Sham 69's "Borstal Breakout," and the Adverts' "One Chord Wonders"…

Crunk, that particular high-energy party hip-hop built around looped drum machines and simple chants, broke through into the mainstream a few years ago with massive hits by OutKast, Lil Jon, Bone Crusher, and the notably addictive Oscar-winner "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from Hustle and Flow.

Daft Punk is one of the main exponents of the popularity of electronic music that emerged during the 90s. With their unique talent and unlimited imagination, this French duo has reinvented itself multiple times since its inception and along the road has re-energized the disco and house scene. After going through an electro era, now and via the highly successful album 'Random Access Memories'- they have immersed themselves into a 70's pop and funk sound that has led them to the peak of their popularity. In The Many Faces Of Daft Punk we get into the fascinating inner world of the duo: its influence, guests artists, side projects, remixes and the music genres that they have influenced. The Many Faces of Daft Punk is a unique album, essential for both fans and followers to contemporary dance music. With remastered sound and a wonderful artwork, The Many Faces Of Daft Punk is an essential collection.
