REPRESSED !!

Vibraphone and keyboard player, master arranger and bandleader, Mulatu Astatke is one of the all-time greats of Ethiopian music and the creator of his own original music form, Ethio jazz. Through the acclaimed Ethiopiques album series and through featuring on the soundtrack to the Jim Jarmusch film Broken Flowers, his music has belatedly reached a global audience and a new, younger generation of fans. In November of last year, he recorded an inspired new album with London psych jazz band The Heliocentrics for Strut's 'Inspiration Information' studio collaboration series. Now, Strut are proud to present, for the first time anywhere, the definitive Mulatu career retrospective covering his landmark 60's and 70's recordings.
Mulatu is a true pioneer of African music. He was the first Ethiopian musician of his generation to travel extensively and to record abroad - he studied in the UK in Wales and at Trinity College Of Music in London, cutting his teeth on the buoyant London jazz scene of the early 60's. He became the first African student to attend Harvard and he lived and recorded in New York, developing a unique sound that fused Western jazz with traditional Ethiopian melodies.
Tracing the progression of his Ethio jazz experiments with full access to all of the labels for whom he recorded, Mulatu Astatke: New York-AddisLondon is the essential Mulatu. Covering his first recordings in the UK during 1965, his groundbreaking fusions for the small Worthy label in New York and his key '70s recordings back in Addis on Amha, Phillips and Axum, the album features comprehensive sleeve notes by Miles Cleret, boss of the excellent Soundway Records imprint, and rare, previously unseen photos from Mulatu's personal archive.

Dancing Wayang Records are excited to release the first duo album by London-based double bassist

John Edwards and US drummer extraordinaire Chris Corsano called TSKTSKING. The album was

recorded at Eastcote Studios, London in December 2008. Limited to 500 copies it comes housed in

hand screenprinted wrap-around sleeves. The accompanying insert features exclusive and very funny

liner notes written by UK sax pioneer Evan Parker.

Defying the drum and bass's classic roles as rhythm instruments, Edwards and Corsano's TSKTSKING

is a beautifully melodic album. At times Corsano's drumset sounds like it's got strings whilst

Edwards's double bass takes its fair share of scrapes and slaps.

Extended passages explore the most subtle and some unexpected sounds that can be summoned from

metal and timber. Equally, possessed progressions and untamed eruptions of energy and power are

conjured up. These two musicians prey and pounce on their instruments like it's their last chance

before a long drought.

JOHN EDWARDS is one of the most gifted double bassist playing in the UK and Europe. Since

taking up his instrument in the late 1980s he has become an unparalleled force and choice collaborator

for musicians such as Evan Parker, Charles Hayward (This Heat) and John Butcher. In 2008 he

released a solo bass record on Evan Parker's Psi label and continues to push the instrument's

boundaries into unexplored territories.

CHRIS CORSANO is one of the most in-demand free drummers working today. After several years

living in Manchester and Edinburgh where he forged fruitful relationships with Mick Flower

(Vibracathedral Orchestra) and Heather-Leigh Murray (Scorces, Taurpis Tula), he is now based in

Massachusetts, USA. First encountering free improvisation in the mid 1990s, Corsano is now at the

forefront of expanded drumset improvisations both solo and in collaborations with artists such as Paul

Flaherty, Thurston Moore and Keiji Haino.

DANCING WAYANG is a record label operating out of Eastcote Studios, London, and aims to

provide artists with free studio time and access to a high quality recording facility and equipment.

The sessions recorded at Eastcote are released in limited run, hand-packaged vinyl editions.
