Tunes from Auntie Flo, Mehmet Aslan and Esa feature on the party's fifth anniversary collection.
Huntleys & Palmers's Highlife party will celebrate five years with a 17-track USB compilation due out in June.
Since 2010 the premise of Highlife has been to fuse house, disco and techno with African and Latin music. The party holds a residency at Glasgow's Sub Club (past guests include Nicolas Jaar, Charanjit Singh and Awesome Tapes From Africa) and has hosted one-off events across Europe. It has its own record label too, with a run of vinyl-only releases and a recently-launched global collaboration series.
The Highlife 5 USB compilation bundles the label's previously released material with a live recording from a recent Highlife party and a mix by Auntie Flo. The music comes from the likes of Esa, Dollkraut, Red Axes and Mehmet Aslan. The Highlife crew will head out on a brief tour in support of the compilation, with dates in Sheffield, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow confirmed. Highlife 5 will be available at these events before it hits record shops later in June.
