Mr Bongo Record Club Vol. 8 continues the label’s much‑loved in‑house series with another hand‑picked sweep through soul, boogie, disco‑reggae, jazz‑funk and Latin. As always, It’s a wide‑ranging, deeply dug selection through the Brazilian current, lovingly curated and turntable ready. Fronted by an exclusive Kenny Dope rework of The Sylvers’ ‘Wish That I Could Talk To You’, the 17 track treasure is a testament to Mr Bongo's unmatched ability to dig out unsung gems, even 8 volumes in. - Flying Out
Welcome to Volume 8 of the Mr Bongo Record Club series, our in-house curated compilations that give us a chance to share some of our favourite tracks, hard-fought finds, and unsung gems. These are tracks that have been inspiring us at home, in the office, while DJing, and on the dancefloor.
In the cross-genre spirit of the series, for Volume 8 we have selected music from the worlds of soul, boogie, disco-reggae, jazz-funk, and Latin, with a hefty chunk of beloved Brazilian music. Pulling these compilations together is always a highlight of our year, and eight volumes in, we feel this is one of our strongest to date.
