Secret Stash Records

Monday 5/23/11 we are throwing an assembly party at our new office on Lyndale and Lake from 6pm-whenever. There will be FREE BEER and pizza and of course it wouldn’t be a Secret Stash party without free Marker’s Mark bourbon! Anyone who comes will get 1 free copy of the record we’re working on, The Rhythms of Black Peru. Each one is hand numbered and your participation in this event will guarantee a number under 25. We’ve got a pair of turntables and a mixer set up, so bring some funky records to share with the group. We’ll all be trading off on the turn tables all night.  If you’d like to participate, please drop us a line here.

Later that night, our friend DJ Steely from KFAI’s Kind of Cloudy Radio will be spinning at The King and I Thai. When we’re done, we’ll head over there for drinks and good tunes.

It’s been tearing us up inside to keep this one to ourselves. Finally we’re ready to officially announce this funky highlife reissue. Check out the video below to hear sound samples.

In this video SSR co-founder Cory Wong takes a break from re-mastering the audio for The Rhythms of Black Peru to share with you some his favorite tracks.  We hope you dig it.

Get a behind the scenes look at the remastering of Persian Funk with SSR’s own Cory Wong.

Watch the video for a sample of what is to come and to see some rare photos.

What was the name of the large music festival in Ghana that took place in ’71 and who were three of the artists that performed?

Good luck!
