We first became aware of Hoavi after coming across one of his tracks in a DJ mix by Leech

The result is quite mind-blowing

Wot channels the rawness of those sweaty basements with big stacks that we are all missing so much at the moment

Both tracks add accessible English lyrics and catchy call-and-response vocals to infectious Shangaan-rooted dance rhythms

It is one of those rare dance music albums that sounds like a record of its’ time but also has a timeless quality that makes each listen an immensely rewarding experience

a druggy throb

staying true to its name

‘Wooded’ is a new-school minimal groover for a housier crowd

The set also includes track by track annotations from the likes of DJ’s Danny Krivit

no mean feat when the original tracks are by the likes of Disco’s greatest musicians

Digitally remastered from the original tapes it features the cream of Japanese musicians including Shigeru Suzuki on guitar
