    Soundway Records presents a collection of nineteen tracks chronicling a time when drum machines, synthesisers, imported pop, reggae, disco and soul collided with highlife, juju and cultural music in Nigeria.

    A period of experimentation, adaptation, modification and innovation saw artists and producers using new technology to renew and refresh cultural traditions. Nigerian music continued to evolve in a country that musically rarely stands still.
