V/A – Onda De Amor – 2LP

Soundway Records

Some crate-digging compilations are often the result of someone hand-picking their choice favourites from another country’s musical history, perhaps unaware or uninvolved with its cultural lineage in the process. On Soundway’s latest release – “Onda de Amor” – a treasure trove of synth jams, pop, samba boogie, balearic and electro from 1980 & ‘90s Brazil – the tracks are picked by Millos Kaiser, one half of the Brazilian duo Selvagem, who are at the helm of throwing some of the country’s best dance parties. It’s a rare compilation that offers Brazilian music actually picked by a Brazilian.
