"It is a sound which defined an era and became the very essence of Island Records. During the '80s, Compass Point Studios in The Bahamas, set up by Island MD Chris Blackwell, was a magnet for soul, reggae, punk and rock artists eager to inject their sound with some Nassau magic. And the magic, apart from the tropical sunshine, was the production genius of reggae legends Sly & Robbie, engineers Steven Stanley and Alex Sadkin, and the Compass Point All-Stars house band. Most people would recognize the sound from hits by Grace Jones or Tom Tom Club, an unmistakable fusion of great, often quirky songwriting, dub production techniques and low end funk, extended into spacious and unhurried 12" versions. This was vibe music which has remained timeless on dancefloors ever since. For the first time, Strut presents the story of Compass Point from 1980 to 1986 bringing together acknowledged classics by artists whose sound was indelibly shaped there including Grace Jones, Black Uhuru and Gwen Guthrie. The album also highlights selected lesser known tracks by French DJ Guy Cuevas, Slits-offshoot band Set The Tone and the queen of trash disco, Cristina. Funky Nassau comes packaged in a deluxe digipak with full booklet featuring extensive sleeve notes and artist interviews by David Katz, author of the official Lee Perry biography, People Funny Boy alongside rare photos by Adrian Boot, Lynn Goldsmith and Alison Jarvis."

"After cutting their teeth touring with ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker in 1971, Blo were a real revelation in their native Nigeria, a three-piece dynamo that successfully mixed traditional Nigerian high life with psychedelic funk and, later, disco and boogie. This12" features two Blo classics from different stages in their career. 'Don't Take Her Away From Me' comes from the band's early Phase 2 set (1972), a rough and raw funk-rock outing which receives a slow, dubbed-out treatment from London's Akwaaba, regular producers on the Idjut Boys' Discfunction lebel. 'Get That Groove In' is a funky disco party track from '79 (taken from the band's Bulky Backside LP) and the extended re-work comes courtesy of Raj Gupta, under his Ray Mang alter ego."
