Wan Chai Records is a Hong Kong based Label, specialized in rare asian records and quality reissues.
For their third release, after a few years of hard diggin’ and historical researches, they went deeper with HONG KONG SCORE, an introspection into the music in the chinese Cinema industry. A selection of tracks from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, specially produced for movies and illustrations.
The result is a compilation of 12 totally unknown gems sung mostly in mandarin and cantonese, from real deep instrumentals, Hip Hop breaks, Ethio style crazy drums, to heavy Bass à la Alain Goraguer (Serge Gainsbourg’s arranger). This is an amazing introduction to 60’s and 70’s chinese music, a inspiration for beatmakers, a must have for novices or asian vintage music lovers.
