A mainstay of the vibrant Ghanaian music scene for three decades now, Rex Omar is a highlife superstar in his own right, so trust the Soundway label (we always do!) to throw this collection of Omar’s choicest cuts together. With four huge tunes taken from the acclaimed 1997 album Dangerous, a 2004 highlife highlight, and a scorching remix from Aroop Roy, we know you’re already as sold as we are. - Flying Out

Modern highlife luminary, Rex Omar is a force of the Ghana music scene. With a career spanning 30 years he has evolved the genre, pushed boundaries and dazzled listeners with his inventive output.

A definitive piece of Omar’s repertoire comes via his Dangerous album - critically acclaimed in Ghana, it’s a self-produced gem recorded in London circa 1997, with help from Ibibo Sound Machines Kari Bannerman and prolific Jamaican producer Bill Campbell. Released on CD only and distributed exclusively in West Africa, the album gained immense popularity in Omar’s homeland reaching platinum status.

Soundway, presents the four premier cuts for a new self-titled EP, along with Kele Ngele taken from his 2004 album Ajala. Finally given the vinyl treatment, it's a London-centric blend of street-soul-come-highlife 90s RnB, certain to captivate the discerning ear. Staying true to its original colab effort, London based producer Aroop Roy steps in with a modern rework of the four-to-the-floor scorcher Dada, revisited and repurposed for today's dancefloor.
