Badlands

IRC150 - Janne Tavi - Badlands (incl. Cee ElAssaad Remixes) [Teaser]

Following this year’s Felabration celebrations, DJ Said, the founder of Fatsouls Records, teams up with Morocco’s extraordinary Cee EIAssaad to create a potent dedication to Fela Kuti, the omnipresent Nigerian musician. Our music today owes a great deal to Fela as an influence. To that purpose, we give a tribute by utilizing his impact.

This first installment of a two-part release is a scorching single with two mixes. All to the components of this composition, including the horns, synth, and vocals, work together to keep the groove alive. The rhythm echoes the uplifting mood of spoken words and modern Afro house. Look for the Part Two vinyl cut in the first few months of 2023.
This release will effortlessly “ignite our mind and soul with inspiration.”

Thandi Draai, a leading lady in the Afro house scene, has made her mark through her influential radio show in South Africa, her numerous great singles and compilations for Get Physical, and her work on this pivotal label. She is a DJ, producer, and vocalist who is shaping the global Afro sound. She collaborates once again with fellow scene figurehead Cee ElAssaad, a chart-topping artist known for his versatility and celebrated for his collaborations with artists like Antonio Ocasia and Janne Tavi. 

The magnificent 'Ashambeni' is an almost eight-minute journey into deeply captivating drums and soul-stirring synth craft. The bright sequences loop and rise up through the mix while the spine-tingling vocals are rousing and empowering over organic percussion and moving bass that will sweep up the dance floor.
