A love letter to the dancefloor and it's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 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, É 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"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. É 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. It's music unconstrained by genre or tempo and more about making your body move\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut 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\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpening 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs society becomes increasingly fractured, É 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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kartel Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48902546587900,"sku":"MRBG328IEX.1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4975\/4108\/files\/kartel-ltd-music-vinyl-records-various-artists-luke-una-presents-e-soul-cultura-vol-3-indie-exclusive-colored-vinyl-yellow-5024017007215-mrbg328iex-1-1230482451.jpg?v=1774925648","url":"https:\/\/shop.thirdeyecomics.com\/products\/various-artists-luke-una-presents-e-soul-cultura-vol-3-indie-exclusive-colored-vinyl-yellow","provider":"Third Eye Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
