{"title":"Zouk","description":"\u003cp\u003eZouk is a musical style from the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, and is a mixture of African, Caribbean, and European musical styles. It originated in the late 1970s and was popularized in the early 1980s by French Antillean band Kassav'. Zouk is characterized by its fast-paced, rhythmically complex and danceable sound, and its use of synthesizers and drum machines. It is also characterized by its heavy use of accordion and saxophone, as well as its fusion of African, Caribbean, and European influences.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-compagnie-creole-cest-bon-pour-le-moral-187131","title":"La Compagnie Créole – C'est Bon Pour Le Moral (VG+\/VG+)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eC'est Bon Pour Le Moral is a 7\" by La Compagnie Créole from 1982 released on the Carrere, Zagora label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e La Compagnie Créole\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Carrere, Zagora – 13085\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e 7\", 45 RPM, Single\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_france\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1982\"\u003e1982\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/beguine\"\u003eBeguine\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chanson\"\u003eChanson\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/disco\"\u003eDisco\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/zouk\"\u003eZouk\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA C'est Bon Pour Le Moral\u003cbr\u003eB C'est Bon Pour Le Moral (Instrumental)\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Carrere, Zagora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40461982990401,"sku":"6636294","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/3b26d34571422cf8b947221a6d8148dd.jpg?v=1724148013"},{"product_id":"various-artists-luke-una-presents-e-soul-cultura-vol-3-2xlp-350427","title":"Luke Una – É Soul Cultura Volume 3 (2xLP)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith two deeply cherished compilations already in the bag, Luke Una steps up for the third volume in his E Soul Cultura series on Mr Bongo. A love letter to the dancefloor and its power to unite people from all corners of society amid growing division and extremist politics. Genre-spanning in nature, the 15 tracks travel between cosmic soul, boogie, proto-house, slo-mo technoid grooves, drum machine afro, astral bass-bugging futurism, jazz funk, dance, and disco. Each having the ability to move the body as much as the heart. From his formative years in Sheffield to co-founding Manchester's much-fabled Electric Chair with Justin Crawford, through to helming the iconic LGBTQ institutions of Homoelectric \/ Homobloc, Luke has spent 40 years immersed in dance music. His latest outlet, E Soul Cultura, has grown from a label to a globe-spanning events series with Luke holding residencies and embarking on tours across the world from Japan and Australia to America and Europe. \"For me, the dancefloor was never about a one-dimensional, thudding, 130 BPM beat only. It's a much more dynamic, broader vision than that. I cut my teeth in an era where a 100 BPM record had as much impact, excitement, and energy as a 134 BPM dancefloor jazz funk or techno record\", Luke mentions. E Soul Cultura Volume 3 is the perfect embodiment of that notion: \"It's about four decades in the trenches playing dance music, the late-night afters, the shebeens, the basements, warehouse parties, the eight-hour journeys in East London, through to festival sets at Houghton and We Out Here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's music unconstrained by genre or tempo and more about making your body move\". But this isn't simply a collection of disparate dance tracks; they carry meaning and soul. \"It's less about escapism, more about reconnection. My experience of post-covid has been the coming together of all the clans in various clubs and gatherings. A reaction to a very toxic world out there, where the aggro rhythms of division have sought to divide us, and people don't meet as often. The coming back together face-to-face in clubs has encouraged a real love in the air, there's a real togetherness and collective spirit\". Opening up the compilation is a track that channels that very message, the transcendental, soul-rousing Harris \u0026amp; Orr 'Spread Love'. Joining the dots from there, to the low-slung deep house closer of Fatdog 'Remember', you'll find electronic drum machine Nigerian funk, sitting side by side with dancefloor Cape Verdean brilliance, a post-punk cover of Fela Kuti, rubbing shoulders with cosmic electro, and an Una-championed, 8-minute, kickless DJ Harvey remix. There's jazz funk in various guises moving from boogie synth to astral travelling, slo-mo acidic raw techno, and a '79 soul stepper, alongside swirling percussive Italo disco and tribal-charged house. All infused with an innate ability to bring people together. As society becomes increasingly fractured, E Soul Cultura Volume 3's message is more than movement. It's about dance music's power to unify people from all walks of life and break down the barriers that divide us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre:
