We're back this long weekend with a very special guest, Soundway Records boss, Miles Cleret.
Besides running one of best labels on the planet, Miles carries a record bag jam packed with essential musical gems from across the globe. He also has a strong connection to Aotearoa, with Soundway releasing amazing music by Julien Dyne, Flamingo Pier and Lord Echo.
Everyone loves a long weekend, and we're kicking off early at 4pm with a family friendly event (kids are free before 8pm) at Meow. We'll also be firing up the BBQ and bringing the good vibes! We hope you can join us x

Soundway Records:
Soundway Records is a British-based independent record label founded and run by English DJ and music producer Miles Cleret. It started in 2002 with the release of a compilation of Ghanaian music from the 1970s : ''Ghana Sounds: Afrobeat, Funk & Fusion in '70s Ghana''.
Since then the label has released a series of critically acclaimed compilation albums and re-issues of African, Caribbean, Latin and Asian music from the 1950s - 1980s. These include the best-selling compilation Doing It In Lagos (2016) and others such as Nigeria Special, Ghana Special & Kenya Special compilation albums that Cleret spent years bringing together.
With these compilations alongside a string of highly sought-after rare reissue albums, the label has also began in 2012 to develop a series of original contemporary releases. These include releases from acts such as Batida, Ibibio Sound Machine, Debruit & Alsarah, Fumaca Preta, Ondatropica, The Meridian Brothers, Bomba Estereo, Family Atlantica, Dexter Story, The Heliocentrics and Lord Echo.
In 2014, Soundway was named by The Guardian as One of the 10 British Labels defining the Sound of 2014, and in 2017 was named Label Of The Year at the Worldwide Awards in London founded and hosted by Gilles Peterson.
