Roger Bong runs Aloha Got Soul, a record label and record shop headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. Focusing on Hawaii-based artists, Roger’s work as a curator and DJ brings Hawaii’s music to global audiences. His vinyl sets infuse island-inspired disco, house, and rare groove to create an atmosphere where paradise is not lost, but found.
"It’s been more than 12 years since I started Aloha Got Soul, writing my first blog post in August 2010. Since then, I’ve had the joy of connecting with artists from a golden era of groovy music in the Hawaiian islands - the 1970s and 1980s - sharing their sounds through blog posts, interviews, mixes, and reissues of their out-of-print records. What was a hobby has turned into a full-fledged operation with the opening of our record store in Honolulu in 2021.
This vinyl set is a “mahalo” (thank you) to the artists we’ve worked with over the years. Without their trust and support, I wouldn’t be able to so lovingly share this music with listeners across the globe to enjoy 40+ years later!"

Thank you

[@La_Suvera]

thank you very much for full tracklist description!

👊

[@snakejuce]

I'm a simple man, I see a new Analog Journal vid uploaded, I click. I see "Hawaiian," I FORSURE click.

[@annawoodward6503]

Honestly the best mix. I come back to this every few weeks and it's epic everytime

[@gayluigi4122]

I lived in Hawaii for 7 years and I dont think I heard any of these songs even once, mostly just island pop/reggae (which I loved) but I had no idea stuff like this came out of the islands It has the same energy as a lot of the Japanese fusion jazz ive heard from the same era

[@Kokoroko9]

This was the first but not the last time I will listen to Hawaiian Grooves great stuff

[@nicknayme]

His store, Aloha Got Soul, in Oahu is amazing.

[@Kokoroko9]

@@nicknayme Thank you I will be straight there when I escape this shit hole one day 🙂

[@MrDL220]

This is excellent on so many levels! What a lovely feeling of Aloha funk.

[@samuelfirman391]

What a set! Holy cow, In Your Dark Eyes is an absolute stonker.

[@fabiomattos2324]

great

[@thejoyofsticks]

The little blue 45 that could at 40:00 is an absolute rocket. I've enhance enhanced like a tech wizard from a 90s action movie, but the most I can get is 'Waimano Records' and 'In Your Dark Eyes'. An internet search reveals nothing. How is this track not well known? So good. Thanks for brightening my day, Mr Bong.

[@bonghitsmusic]

Thanks, it’s Waimanu - In Your Dark Eyes 🔵💙

[@giorgosbookhunter4215]

@@bonghitsmusic I am also looking for this one and cannot find it even if i have the title from you! amazing track

Mahalos for flying across the globe to do this - Shaka.
