Strut

Strut is a British independent label founded by Quinton Scott. From 1999 to 2003, Strut was at the forefront of unearthing forgotten dance music gems, covering a wide range of genres from hard funk and underground disco to Nigerian Afrobeat and old skool hip hop. Their releases not only featured killer dancefloor tracks but also provided a comprehensive context for the music, delving into the stories behind the tunes, the clubs, and the scene of that time. With meticulous attention to detail, Strut's albums were mastered from original tapes whenever possible and included extensive sleeve notes written by respected journalists, rare photographs, and memorabilia.

In January 2008, Strut was reactivated and became part of the *K7 label group. Since then, their releases have been primarily based in Europe unless there is an exclusive retailer in another territory.

New on Strut, Aloha Got Soul encompasses a vibrant era of contemporary music made in Hawai'i during the 1970s to the mid-1980s as jazz, rock, funk, disco and R&amp;B co-existed alongside Hawaiian folk music. Hawai'i's identity had undergone huge change: statehood into America in '59 and the Vietnam War were the backdrop as Hawai'i's youth found inspiration in a new wave of international music led initially by The Beatles and Stones and, later, by US R&amp;B bands like Earth Wind and Fire and Tower Of Power. Garage bands flourished during the '60s and, by the '70s, live music was at its peak. The album features cuts from Tender Leaf, Mike Lundy, Hal Bradbury, Roy and Roe, Lemuria, Aura and more.
