PREMIERE : Ichisan -  Fantasound (Dan Tyler WBLS Remix)

Balearic sounds and Mediterraneanwarmth are the inspirations for Bruno Belissimo’s Bordello A Parigi debut. Drawing on disco, house and funk, Ottimo! is a four tracker of electronic exuberance with Belissimo’s musical ability and range immediately spilling from the speakers. Guitar strings curve around synthlines in the title piece, percussive textures giving way to the mantra-like refrain of “Ottimo!” Thick bass echoes into beaming keys for “Meduse.” Bright notes cascade, grooves  melting with vocoder lyrics as classic disco tones are reimagined in this modern mirrorball medley. Organic rhythms introduce the flip. “Mirage” opens to ripples of bongos and toms as a loose structure takes hold. Hedonistic chants rise to a shimmering chord, kicks and snares funnelling the building energy as bold blasts and samples shriek with delight. “Las Piramides de Ibiza” brings the quartet to a close. Clean drum patterns support joyous notes, a machine dipped voice calling time.

Wah Wah 45s are proud to present a collection of remixes reinterpreting and celebrating last year’s Echoes Of Resistance LP, the sophomore album from Afro-electronic duo Raz & Afla. Raz Olsher and Afla Sackey converge worlds through their dynamic fusion of electronic and traditional African rhythms, forging a path that is as bold as it is innovative. Rooted in their deep-seated passion for music and cultural exploration, they seamlessly blend their distinct musical backgrounds to create a unique sonic landscape that captivates audiences worldwide.

Raz Olsher is a visionary producer and composer known for his boundary-pushing electronic soundscapes, bringing his expertise in blending diverse musical elements to the duo. His meticulous attention to detail and penchant for experimentation form the foundation upon which Raz & Afla's sound thrives.

Already part of the Wah Wah 45s family with his band Afrik Bawantu, Afla Sackey is an esteemed percussionist and vocalist with roots tracing back to Ghana. He infuses the duo's music with rich traditional African rhythms and melodies. Afla's virtuosity on percussion instruments and his soulful
vocals add a visceral, organic dimension to their compositions, creating a mesmerising auditory experience that transcends cultural boundaries.

Together, Raz & Afla defy genre limitations, seamlessly weaving together electronic beats, Afrobeat grooves, and intricate percussive textures. Their music resonates with a deep sense of cultural authenticity and a forward-thinking approach that pushes the boundaries of contemporary music.

Remixes Of Resistance features an impressive selection of reworks and reinterpretations from some of the duo’s favourite producers, most talented friends and most revered and exciting music makers on the electronic dance music scene.

Lumberjacks In Hell bossman Marcel Vogel and Seanmont collaborate to deliver a heavy hitting, foot friendly remix of What’s Going On; BBC 6 Music’s Jamz Supernova and partner Sam Interface come through with some serious bass pressure on their version of Shikor Shikor; Razor’n’Tape’s JKriv provides a steady and sophisticated, breakbeat influenced club re-fix of Stefania; and London based DJ, producer and engineer Edward Upton, better known as DMX Krew, tackles We Taya
with aplomb and comes up with a life affirming Afro-disco/house monster replete with sparkling guitars and keys.

Elsewhere, competition winners Davin Varda & Buscadora turn out a vibrant and dramatic version of On Da Fone; Maxxi Soundsystem produce a haunting re-work of Mo Ni Fere; and South African producer Esa comes up with a similarly dark and percussive take of Voodoo Zeze which
hits all the right notes for the late night dance floor.

On the more eclectic, laid back tip, Greg Surmacz AKA Captain Over creates a typically fractured and wonky re-jig of Babe Moo; label mates Lawne add their own trademark drums, guitar and FX to Ano Be Mumu to create something very special; and finally, newcomer Motion Kin rounds things off with an atmospheric, synth heavy remix of Eno Be Me.

With a growing discography that includes critically acclaimed releases and collaborations with musicians from around the globe, Raz & Afla continue to carve out their place in the international music scene. Their electrifying live performances are celebrated for their energy and the profound
connection they forge with audiences, making every show a vibrant celebration of musical diversity and unity.

We are pleased to welcome emerging French producer Jo Kazan, now based in Barcelona, for his debut release on the label. An artist on the rise, he unveils with the "Right Or Wrong" EP a resolutely retrofuturistic aesthetic, where Trance, Italo, and Dance intertwine with a distinctly contemporary sensibility.

The two original tracks form a luminous and emotionally charged diptych, driven by captivating melodies and grounded in a positively charged harmonic language. Anchored by an indie groove with clear Dance undertones, the pieces evoke a subtle nostalgia while channeling an energy tailor-made for end-of-night moments — those suspended instants where music becomes pure surrender.

German producer Panthera Krause, a key figure in the Leipzig scene and head of the renowned Riotvan label, elevates "Wrong 4 Me" with a radiantly uplifting House remix. Spanning over seven minutes of organic development, it stands as a sensual and generous ode, deliberately distancing itself from the formulaic constraints imposed by current platform-oriented formats.

Closing the release, Avi Sakorka offers a reinterpretation tinged with darker, acid-inflected hues, true to his introspective sonic identity. His remix deepens the club dimension of the EP, weaving in a subtle tension that resonates as a nocturnal counterpoint to the originals' luminosity.

PREMIERE : Jo Kazan - Wrong 4 Me (Avi Sakorka Remix)

Unsounds presents Ragazzo Does It Again by High Trust Society // a project rooted in Caracas and built on the conviction that club culture can only grow through trust, authenticity, and collective energy.

Shaped by the darker edges of electro, techno, and house, the EP captures the spirit of an evening out: playful yet driving, chaotic yet precise. More than just tracks, it’s a statement of belonging // a piece of underground culture that feels at once timely and timeless.

PREMIERE : HTS - Ragazzo Does it Again

Letting Your Mind Go سافر بخيالك” is a transcendental rave journey that bridges continents and cultures. Featuring Moroccan singer Himaart and a percussionist, the track layers raw emotion with hypnotic rhythms, acid-tinged synth lines, and ethereal atmospheres.

The vocals are sung without literal meaning, a universal language that sidesteps barriers and resonates through feeling alone. The result is both heavy with tension and wide open with release, a cathartic space meant to loose people on dance-floors.

It captures Romain FX’s vision of music as a shared, borderless experience, a sonic trip that invites listeners to surrender control and simply let go.
