About this release
‘A Brief History’ explores the musical legacy of London nightclub ‘The Wag’ with a selection of 32 remastered rare, classic and collectible funk, Latin, disco, hip hop and jazz that filled the floor. Curated by Chris Sullivan – a musician, journalist and most importantly, the Wag’s founder, director, promoter, designer and booker for its entire run of 18 years.
Music explored covers a period from the Wag’s inception in 1983 to 1987, and although the club was an integral early proponent in the acid house explosion and continued to support electronic music until its close in 2001.
