Ghans Katne Khurkera (Felix Tapes Edit)

A club friendly version of one of my favorite tracks of one of my favorite musicians! Back in the days my father used to play this song a lot while driving the car and I have liked it since the first time I heard it. This song was recorded in 1984, one year before he released his biggest hit 'mario'. As founder of the band TPOK Jazz, which dominated Congolese music from 1956 until 1989, he is counted as one of the originators of the modern Congolese sound.

Inspired by the African cassette tapes from my father, I started playing African Disco and Funk in Amsterdam in 2010. After traveling in different continents, I started experimenting with sounds from all over the world. Where I used to play a bit more uptempo, nowadays I am focussing on a deeper and more atmospheric sound. Blending different genres and tempos is something that is appealing to me. From Nigerian funk to Amazon tribe music, everything is possible.
