Op.815 - Electrypnose And Caoimihn Feat Maria - Revenge

Babani Soundsystem’s latest single, "LÉLOU," is a profound homage to the pioneering Mauritian artist Menwar, who first introduced his music under the name Lélou in 1977. This release, however, transcends a simple collaboration. Menwar is not merely an influence on the band; he has been a guiding figure, imparting his philosophy and playing a godfather-like role in shaping the project. His involvement has deeply informed the sound and spirit of "LÉLOU," making it a testament to his enduring legacy.

The track pays tribute to Menwar’s trailblazing contributions to sega music, blending the genre’s traditional roots with contemporary electronic beats. The result is a seamless fusion that speaks to a global audience, bridging generations and cultures.

Babani Soundsystem’s approach merges the ancestral power of sega with modern electronic influences, drawing from the belief that sega music can evoke spirits. This creative synergy produces a layered, immersive listening experience that resonates with both emotional depth and rhythmic energy. Released by Babani Records, the single aims to celebrate the rich, multifaceted musical heritage of the Indian Ocean.

In addition to the original track, "LÉLOU" features a selection of remixes from international producers, including DJ Doraemon (Portugal), Vitu Valera (Peru), BĖXSEE (UK, DnB), Kretekboyz (Netherlands, Ghettotech), and Ayef (Mauritius). Each remix offers a distinct interpretation of the original, further honoring Menwar’s legacy. The release is rounded out with "Melodi La Mer," a second original track that continues to explore the deep, resonant beauty of Mauritian music.

Universal Tribe Records proudly presents: The ‘Australiens’ Remixes

After years in the making, we are beyond excited to unveil one of the most anticipated releases in the history of Universal Tribe Records — a project that pays tribute to the legacy of a modern classic while breathing new life into its story.

Originally sparked during Freedom Fighters’ debut tour of Australia, Australiens quickly evolved into an iconic collaboration with progressive techno powerhouses Martin Vice & Michael Banel (MVMB). The track was later released in 2016 as part of MVMB’s debut album on Iboga Records, capturing a moment in time that merged the raw, open energy of the Australian scene with an international touch of cinematic psychedelia.

Now, nine years on, we’ve been granted the rare opportunity to reimagine this masterpiece with a signature Universal Tribe twist. What has emerged is a remix compilation that honours the past while surging forward — a curated celebration of Bush Prog brought to life by some of Australia’s most respected pioneers and the next generation of sonic storytellers — artists known for delivering the finest sounds our scene has to offer.

Featuring transformative remixes by Pspiralife, Ryanosaurus, Sumiruna, Scionaugh, and Doonz, this release brings a fresh, driving perspective to a timeless track — layered, deep, and completely dialled in to the unique rhythm of the Australian bush.

One thing’s for sure: with this release, the journey doesn’t stop —
we just go on, and on, and on...

Freedom Fighters & MVMB - Australiens (Sumiruna Remix)

Roseda is a meeting of two musical worlds: the roots of Mauritian Sega and the pulse of Afro House. The original lyrics were written by Alphonse Ravaton, known as Tifrere, the father of Sega and a true legend. For me, having the chance to reimagine one of his songs is nothing short of an honor.

During the break, you can hear the Ravanne,  it carries the spirit of our traditional music. I wanted it to feel like a celebration, like friends and family gathered outside in a garden, playing the Ravanne, dancing, and sharing joy.

The voice that brings it all to life is Jason Lily’s, an artist I deeply respect and the only one I could imagine singing this.

We hope you love listening as much as we enjoyed making it!

Thanks for your support and share the love

Cox (EG), Tibetania - Am I Dreaming feat. Vlad [Tibetania Records]

Flash 89 launches his new label Dance Til Dawn with “Set Me Free”, a groove-heavy house cut driven by a deep organ bassline and the mantra-like vocal “set my heart free.” The track embodies a moment of creative liberation, built for late-night club sets and true dancefloor connection.

On remix duties, Kid Massive (Get Down / Toolroom) brings his trademark energy, delivering a funky rework that rounds out the debut perfectly.

Following recent releases on Motive Records and Tinted Records, Set Me Free marks the beginning of a new chapter for Flash 89.
