Galactic Mace tracks/reworks

My wonky admission to ODJ Pirkka's remix competition.

ODJ Pirkka – Planet Fun Fun (Galactic Mace remix)

When you take out the English lyrics from this nice groover from 1988, and add some new ingredients in the pot, you get this version here.

Elektro-Dschungel feat. Cheb Majid – Jatasiri (Galactic Mace rework)

I bought this obscure Sandra Cross single 20 years ago from a parking hall swap meet in the center of freezing Helsinki. I've loved it through all these years and decided to put some light touches on it, combining the dub and vocal versions.
May it bring you soothing sensations during this hot summer of 2021.

Sandra Cross – Tied Up (Galactic Mace rework)

This soca track had parts in it that started calling for an edit. The more I chopped, the more it started to morph into a song that its makers probably didn't plan for. The track has been a fixture in mine as well as few other selected DJs' sets a couple of years already, and now it's here for you to spin! DL for free/name your price in Bandcamp.

Spice and Company – Round and Round (Galactic Mace rework)

I have worked on and off with this tune by Antoinette for around 3 years, testing versions and mixes in my sets here and there. Suddenly, I started to feel that it might be finally ready. So here it is, knock yourself out! And support this amazing Ivorienne by buying her music <3

Antoinette Konan – Assandjé (Galactic Mace rework)

Some extensions and dubs for this cosmic sleaze Abba copycat obscurity from South Africa. The original track was only put out as a 7" B side in SA and Australia, can't understand why they left it out from the LP.

Odyssey – The Music Makes You Feel Good (Galactic Mace edit)

Summer is the best time to embrace your inner cornyness. For me it included cutting and slicing this random Finnish eurodance schlager produced by the iconic Jussi Halme for  the showgirl troupe Big Bad Girls. Have a cheezy summer everybody <3

Big Bad Girls – Kolme Villikissaa (Galactic Mace sliced cheeze Dancemix)

Here we have the pioneer of freestyle Nayobe in a slightly updated dub form to see you through these last summer weeks.

Nayobe – Good Things Come To Those Who Wait (Galactic Mace dub)

Pulled this old soul record from the shelf and found a track that I never really listened to before. It was ripe for some cutting and slicing to amplify the disco appeal. Hope you like!

First Class – This Is It (Galactic Mace edit)

Stevo's obscure album from 1991's South Africa is full of dubbed-out bangers. I picked one of the best from them and made a slight extensions to increase its  dancefloor power. Hope you dig it!

Stevo – Marawedi (Galactic Mace edit)

Took out the cheery chorus and, with some extensions here and there, tied this great and obscure groover in mystical minor-key territory. Slow and sleazy, just like it should be😎

Neo The Boss – Let's Fall In Love (Galactic Mace edit)

Keak Da Sneak and BA spread their words over some funky backing from Johnny King & The Fatback Band's "Peace, Love not War" (the Kay-Dee version). Made live with Serato internal mode in 2007 and since then it's been buried on an old acetate.

Keak Da Sneak – Town Shit (Galactic Mace Flip)

Federation's dark hyphy anthem received a fresh splash of color from Pave Maijanen's Finnish cod reggae banger "Ai Ai Ai". Made live with Serato internal mode in 2007 and featured in my buddy Juice's skateboard movie back then. I updated the edit a bit with some trumpet, fresh for 2024 while ripping it from an acetate 7" where this has been hiding over 15 years already.

Federation – I Only Wear My White "T" Once (Galactic Mace 2024 ReFlip)

Ocean People from @hrd_underground_workshop reminded me of this Ce Ce Peniston dancehall version I had hiding in the crates, and suggested that I'd make an extended edit. TBH, I never listened to the killer B side version with its vocal dubs and Street Fighter samples before. So here we go, best of both sides.

O.A. Thomas – Finally (Galactic Mace edit)

Ok, this song was basically screaming in sexual ecstasy for an edit, since the original was only suitable for strip clubs or orgy soundtracks.

So neutered it I did and now we have a completely playable version of fine South African breaksy swing beat with some corny raps sprinkled in.

Volcano – None Stop (Galactic Mace's Vanilla edit)

Here goes a rearranged and dubbed out version of Sammy's deep classic. 

Get the official rework and reissue from @aroop-roy

Sammy Massamba – Azali (Galactic Mace dub)

I messed about a bit with this taarab rarity. Dig in!

Mac & Party – Zandale (Galactic Mace rework)

There are two amazing skeletal techno tracks on the recent Timo Lassy & Teppo Mäkynen album released by @wejazz. I decided to push one of them even further.

Mixing and mastering help from Kalifornia-Keke.

Timo Lassy & Teppo Mäkynen – Kobi (Galactic Mace rework)

The first time I heard the Finnish lyrics on this Penya & Msafiri Zawose track, I knew I had to mess with it.

Penya – Heyyeh (Galactic Mace remix)

Galactic Mace: Doves Cry
