Introducing a new track by the talented Pat Kalla, brought to you by Atangana Records

P.K : « I wrote this piece like a chef creates a new recipe.
A dash of African music with a hint of Soul.
I wanted to evoke the leaders who are supposed to represent their people but have strayed from what is right »

The duo Déni Shain and Mister Francky’s worked wonders with the instrumental to the original and for the remix

And Atangana Rds invited Mr Boom for a upbeat house remix .

Since its inception in 2013, Mawimbi founders have been expanding their knowledge of lesser known and rather undiscovered musical territories thanks to chance encounters with likeminded DJs/producers, who were kind enough to put them onto a good amount of under-the-radar tropical gems.

Launched in 2017 and named after Mawimbi's bi-monthly radio show on Rinse France, the "Radio Mawimbi" compilation series is dedicated to unearthing vintage tropical gems in the form of free download edits and remixes by some of the most seasoned diggers and promising rookies of the tropical-enthusiast community!

From deep, drum-heavy workouts to essential Guinea Bissau melancholy, through remixed Beninese afrofunk and vintage South African kwaito, this second installment features the editing and remixing works of Yeahman (Frente Bolivarista), LSD (Love Saves The Day), Déni Shain (ATANGANA Records), Umoja, Mawimbi, ATW (Around The World), Calisto, Turbo Boom-Boom (TBB) and Midnight Ravers.

Radio Mawimbi #51 w/ Déni Shain (Atangana Records / Analog Africa)

Marseille-based DJ/producer Déni Shain - the man behind acclaimed compilations 'Space Echo' and 'Pop Makossa' - founded Atangana Records with a simple goal: to share his love of music and to dig up unknown, cross-cultural releases.

The initial run of releases on Atangana will be looking to the Caribbean, and the first of these is a 12" reissue of Haitian singer Fédia Laguerre's 1981 single 'Divizion'. Today we're premiering the second of two remixes from French afro-disco outfit Voilaaa.

Divizion

PREMIERE: Fédia Laguerre - Divizion (Voilaaa's Add Parts Only)

Founded in 2018 by dj and producer Deni-Shain – the man behind acclaimed compilations Space Echo and Pop Makossa -, Atangana Records is the logical follow-up to more than 20 years of travel, constantly on the look out for new artists and music around the world. As a « tropicalist globetrotter », in this new project Deni-Shain, in partnership with Thomas Vicente, co-owner of the french restaurant Le Verre Volé aims to dig, reproduce & transmit cross-cultural music, usually unreachable and/or less known by the public.
The goal is simple : to share the love of music and to rediscover the pleasure of voicings, percussions and sadly forgotten harmonies, whether you find yourself in a jam packed club or the intimacy of your home.
Atangana’s first releases will be looking at the Caribbean’s Islands, especially into Haiti with the reissue (on may 4th) – highly expected by various diggers – of the acclaimed single « Divizion » by singer Fedia Laguerre. Originally released in 1981, this first 12" will come with a Voilaaa remix and an instrumental cut exclusively based on the additional work by the french afro collective.

Newly minted French Afro-Disco Label Atangana Records returns with another Caribbean facing EP, this time reissuing a classic 1976 track from Guadeloupean artist Les Maxel’s. The freshly remastered Le Retour De Toto comes with two reworks on the B-side, both from label founder Deni Shain along with Papastomp.

After the warm welcome that was Atangana’s first release of Fédia Laguerre’s Divizion, many afro disco heads were keenly anticipating the release of EP number 2. Gaining plays from a wide variety of DJs including an appearance on UK legend Craig Charles’ Radio 6 music show, the Atangana format of classic remaster on the A-side and respectful remix on the B is proving a successful one. EP two shows a label that’s slowly growing in its reputation as a home for quality afro disco.

The A-side has everything you’d expect from a great afro disco track. Fantastic production, full bass lines, glistening trumpets and outstanding vocal performances. The track combines elements of Zouk, Latino and Calypso music into an intoxicating cocktail of pure tropical heat. The ear Atangnana has for a lost classic is impressive. Le Retour de Toto has everything you’d want from a rare find, discovered in a late night crate digging session. With particularly impressive brass work and an absolutely blistering keyboard break, the song will find a warm place in the heart of any true afro-latin aficionado.

The B1 and B2 provide wonderfully restrained and respectful reworks, with B1’s ‘Toto is Back (Déni Shain & Papastomp Rémix)’ gently beefing up the low end and stripping back elements respectfully for a leaner edit that will work lovely on any dancefloor. B2’s ‘Toto is Back (Déni Shain & Papastomp's Add Parts Only)’ further rework the track in a four-minute burst of congas and samples creating a powerful disco tool that will work just as well at the beginning of the night as it will at the end.

This is another fantastic release from Atangana and one that leaves us at Bolting Bits very excited for how this label continues to grow.

Afro-Disco connoisseurs, Déni Shain and Thomas Vicente, have formed a naturally coherent partnership on a mission to deliver incredibly rich, vibrant tropical music to listeners far and wide. Vincente is the proud owner of Verre Volé Paris (beautiful restaurant) and Shain an experienced DJ and producer with an undying passion for crate digging all over the world. The pair collaborated in 2018 to bring us the promising Atangana Records, the platform from which they release, Afro-Caribbean, Latino-Disco hits from all over the world focusing on re-editing incredible music that we may have missed over the decades. Expect Zouk synth and fusion with dashes of exotic grooves along the way.

Today’s release, is a fantastic addition to the catalogue, undeniably infectious Afro groove with Latino notes all through out, punchy trumpets and soulful French vocals that will turn on any 1980s funk fanatics. The track “Ne Dis Pas Cela” , originally released in 1985 by Henry Wenceslas Thenard, is a perfect example of the music we expect to hear from the label. Shain and Vincente have travelled for 20 years discovering beautiful sounds of new and old and aren’t we glad they have brought this straight to us.
