Soundway presents a reissue of Brazilian duo
Grupo Controle Digital
's only album,
A Festa É Nossa
, originally released in 1988. The title track "A Festa É Nossa" having circulated in DJ sets of influential tastemakers, the album has become highly sought after by electronic fans and collectors alike. Lo-fi synths and cruising bass lines permeate the record, influenced by the group's Brazilian contemporaries at the time such as
Tim Maia
,
Cláudio Zoli
,
Secos E Molhados
, and rock outfit
Made In Brazil
. Band members
Billy Jaguar
and
Gel Valiery
regularly performed in various groups in São Paulo throughout the '80s and '90s, but after Gel passed away, Grupo Controle Digital was no more -- the band and the album faded into obscurity and Billy became a priest, working with gospel music. It remained that way until Brazilian DJ
Millos Kaiser
(from label Selva Discos, and one half of Brazilian street party organizers
Selvagem
) tracked down the remaining member of the group to be able to include one of their tracks on the highly anticipated Soundway compilation,
Onda De Amor: Synthesized Brazilian Hits That Never Were (1984-94)
(SNDW 125CD/LP, 2018). Audio restored by
Neal Birnie
. Artwork restored by
Lewis Heriz
. Remastered by
Frank Merritt
at The Carvery, London. Tip-on heavyweight sleeve.
