"The second single from the Cultures Of Soul compilation, Boogie Breakdown: South African Disco 1980-1984, Benjamin Ball's 'I Just Keep Dancing' is a synth and drum machine-fueled track that also reveals Ball as one of South Africa's earliest rappers. Boston-bred DJs, Soul Clap provide an excellent rework of the track adding some big room club flavor to the track for DJs around the world. Soul Clap are the globe-trotting DJ duo of Eli Goldstein and Charles Levine who've done everything from headlining clubs in Ibiza to creating DJ mix albums for Fabric and DJ Kicks to making records with George Clinton, Sly Stone, and Robert Owens. Licensed directly from the artist and housed in a custom disco sleeve this edit won't be available anywhere else."

"Benjamin Ball's Flash A Flashlight is the first preview of the next Cultures of Soul compilation, Boogie Breakdown -South African Disco 1980 to 1984. With the help of DJ Okapi, Cultures of Soul has tracked down many of the great synth boogie artists of the '80s in South Africa including Benjamin Ball, Don Laka, Al Etto, Neville Nash, Harari, and many others. Benjamin Ball's Flash A Flashlight came out just after Brenda & The Big Dudes' massive hit 'Weekend'. Ball's unique reggae-tinged synth boogie was nearly as big and became the second bubble gum anthem of the era. Highly respected house DJ/producer and co-founder of the Running Back label, Gerd Janson gives us two nice edits of 'Flash A Flashlight'. Gerd provides two funked up rerubs of the track, one with vocals and one without. Licensed directly from the artist and housed in a custom disco sleeve these edits won't be available on the compilation."
