About This Item
É Soul Cultura Vol.1 seemed to land at exactly the right moment. Post-lockdown, optimism was back on the rise and the dance floors swelled again. For many listeners, Manchester based DJ Luke Una's intriguingly woven pattern of new, old, rare and under-discovered music from around the world became the soundtrack to rejuvenated positivity. The selection is eclectic, global, and plucked from different times and spaces. In theory, perhaps they shouldn't work together, but there is a mysterious link that makes them gel as a whole. That's what Luke does best. He creates a sort of musical alchemy, unifying the diverse. This isn't a compilation focussed purely on the rare, even though many tracks featured do fall into that camp. It is best described by Luke himself, InchIt's not about showing off, collector rarity, or ego-strutting, it's all about telling storiesInch Album Tracks 1. Real Thing - Children of the Ghetto 2.
