Synthesizing The Silk Roads: Uzbek Disco, Tajik Folktronica, Uyghur Rock & Tatar Jazz From 1980s Soviet Central Asia (2LP)

Tracked express shipping from Italy, no customs or import VAT in the EU. Shipping costs

Compiled from ultra-rare dead stock pressed at a Soviet-era vinyl plant in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, this first-of-its-kind fully licensed album features a supreme selection of Uzbek disco, Tajik electronic folk, Uyghur guitar licks, Crimean Tatar jazz, Korean brass, and genre-defying styles from Soviet Central Asia.

Drop the needle, and you're not just hearing rare Soviet dance music. You're journeying along the Silk Roads, revisiting raucous USSR disco nights, and immersing in grooves that inspired Soviet youth to envision a different future, ultimately unraveling the Iron Curtain from within.
