This release will drench your stereo speakers with strict quality deepness; that's right, twist the volume knob to 10 and get ready for On the Right Track: A Selection of Bossa, Fusion, and Jazz Shuffles handpicked by Mr. Kong himself. On the Right Track features innovative new recordings and essential favourites from the likes of Grupo X, Nu Tropic, Swell Session, A Bossa Eletrica + more, along with previously unreleased tracks from Mitchell & Dewbury, The Vogado projects, Toronto's own Handpolished, & brand new Moonstarr & John Kong - 'Yesterday's Beginning', the much-anticipated follow up to their earlier hit 'Future Vision'.

The diverse sounds found on the disc are all On the Right Track when it comes to reinterpreting jazz for the dancefloor and the headspace. What it really comes down to is making sure that good music gets its due. As Kong notes: "There's all this quality music out there that you don't hear unless you're a dj or visit specialty record shops everyday. We wanted to expand the scope and bring this music to people who would really enjoy it but don't have access [to it], and provide these musicians with an opportunity to be heard by a broader audience".
