Wah Wah

Wah Wah 45s celebrates 25 years as an independent record label with a deep and soulful selection of their most loved, and often perhaps most overlooked releases.From the jazz inflected Scandinavian soul of Sesong and Espen Horne, to all time classic cuts from Allison Crockett, Part-Time Heroes, Stac, Colman Brothers and Dele Sosimi & The Estuary 21; from folky faves from Speeka, Bev Lee Harling and Isaac Birituro & The Rail Abandon to Afro-soul nuggets from Léa Mondo, Afla Sackey & Afrik Bawantu and Eparapo; from canny covers courtesy of Honeyfeet, Henri-Pierre Nöel and the Hackney Colliery Band to electro-soul beauties from Jamie Finlay, Lawne, Hunrosa, Paper Tiger and The Milk, remixed by Scrimshire; from dubbed out reggae moments from Youthsayers, Resonators and Soothsayers remixed by Prince Fatty, to under-the-radar gems from Max Cole, Sam, Scrimshire, TALC, Hardkandy, The Gene Dudley Group, Kutiman and Gideon Conn - Wah Wah 45s is a label that's been committed to unearthing and sharing sonorous sounds and serious song-writing for a quarter of a century, and this is probably their most heart-felt and complete compilation to date.

Pete Wylie, acclaimed songwriter and Liverpudlian legend. Best known for his work in WAH! and its off various off shoots. He begun his career in bands with friends Julian Cope, Ian McCulloch and Pete Burns, before gaining nationwide attention under his own various project names with a string of singles 'The Story Of The Blues', 'Come Back', 'Sinful, 'Seven Minutes to Midnight' and later, the LFC anthem 'Heart As Big As Liverpool'.

For the album Wah Wah!, the international Munich-based ensemble JISR collaborated with the virtuoso vocalist of the Carnatic vocal tradition Ramamani R.A. and the German guitarist and oud player Roman Bunka to create an intercontinental opus magnum. The work is the result of an extensive tour in South Asia, during which JISR explored the music of the Indian subcontinent. A considerable wealth of musical styles meet and converge here, inspired from diverse Indian musical traditions, Gnawa music from Morocco, Arabic Maqam, German Jazz-Rock and more.

18 sterling slices of funk and soul courtesy of indie vibe institution Wah Wah 45s who are digging deep into their vaults and cherry picking some of their sweetest moments. Expect a tasty spread that ranges from the most pant-blazing bluesy swing (Jamie Finlay) to the instantly recognisable instrumental horn-led charms of one-man-groove-hurricane Gene Dudley by way of the raucous covers of the Hackney Colliery Band, the piano-tickling boogie of Henri-Pierre Noel and the hazy cosmic soul of Part Time Heroes… And every sweet spot in between.

Four life-long friends, Ricky Nunn (vocals), Mitch Ayling (drums) Luke Ayling (bass) and Dan Le Gresley (guitar) formed their first band when they were still at school in Essex, playing countless working mens clubs, and finally becoming The Milk. The Milk prove that sometimes it takes a few bumps to find the right direction. Often it involves experience, guts and self-belief to trust yourself and venture from one to find another.

Kickin' It is the 2001 album by jazz musician Jeff Lorber. This was released on the Samson label.

The Milk prove that sometimes it takes a few bumps to find the right direction. Often it involves experience, guts and self-belief to trust yourself and venture from one to find another. The Milk are a band that believe with utter conviction that theyve now found their way. Everything seems to agree with them from releasing the critically acclaimed album "Favourite Worry" (Wah Wah 45s), selling out London's Union Chapel and touring with Fun Lovin' Criminals at the beginning of 2017, to their sell-out UK tour climaxing at London's KOKO in Camden town. The Milks third studio album is scheduled for release in early 2020.
