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.
