Originals

K.E.E.N.E- 'Bunde & Bullerengue' EP (connected 048) Release Date Dec 6th

'Luna, Rojo y Palmera' (Moon, Red & Palm Tree) makes reference to a magical night with red hues on a warm beach somewhere in the Caribbean. A dreamy night, filled with melancholy from the humming sounds coming from the coast.

For this release, KEENE wanted to create contrast, yet keep the characteristic sound that represents their Cacao Records label.

Berlin Techno queen Anja Schneider offers a huge remix taking its cues from breakbeats providing a retro-future feel, building through bobbing arpeggios. A melancholic and theatrical mix, complemented by big sweeps and minor chords that punctuate in the background. A massive remix that hypnotises.

Complementing this, is an Afro interpretation from Saint Evo, a gifted DJ/Producer from the Savannah plains of Kenya, home of the famed Maasai people. Constantly bringing the sensuous vocals from Barbie Williams who combines playfully with Evo's characteristic stabs. Massive breakdowns resulting in an energetic centered raw lead, accented by bleeps and sweeps for extra zest. A mind-melting remix for the more melodic Afro house enthusiasts.'

Premiere: KEENE, David Mayer - Luna, Rojo & Palmera (Saint Evo Remix) [Cacao Records]

For the KEENE's debut Club Bad release, they have delivered a super elegant yet powerful two track EP titled ‘Legendary Mother’. The first and title track of the EP is an edgy house track with touches of afro, percussive tendencies, organs, bells, and trumpets, combined with subtle vocal cuts from the "Golden Era" of the ball movement back in the late 80s, giving the right vibe that works perfectly for the dance floor.
 
On the flip side we have ‘Avenida Central’ which is a Brazilian funk influenced house track that reflects memories from the street in Panama's city centre of the same name. The track features well worked looped samples, guitar and horn licks creating a great organic feel to the track and rounds off this EP to perfection.

The KEENE brothers hail from Panama and have been producing together since 2010. They’re known for their seductive deep house, house and techno with ethnic and organic touches. They launched their own Cacao Records label back in 2016 and have featured artists like Steve Bug, Re.You, Black Loops, Emmanuel Jal, and Stereo MC's. The brothers have released on high quality labels like Sol Selectas, Get Physical, Monaberry, whilst collaborating with artists like Anja Schneider, Kiwi, Floyd Lavine, Boddhi Satva and more.

PREMIERE : KEENE - Avenida Central

Panama-born and now Berlin-based duo KEENE deliver a deep and trippy interpretation of the Sparrow & Barbossa 'Saudades Do Mar’ on their Cacao Records label, which celebrated its 5th Anniversary last year. Stompy toms, unusual percussive rhythms, a wild heated melodic line and some acid to spice up the day complements the outstanding vocals in Portuguese from Tosz, making it an outstanding remix to look up.

----------
Having shared the decks with everyone from Cubicolor to Martin Roth, and having a debut EP on Bedrock earlier this year, Canada's juSt b is swiftly becoming a name too hard to ignore. Her debut release on Balance delivers an exceptionally cerebral track that will sit flush in many sets. Also featured are four quality remixes that take in everything from deep techno, to breaks and more…

The deep beat on 'Light Sweeper' is undeniable with its mysterious energy. Glacial synths sweep the top end while being punctured by pondering piano stabs. There is bipolar nature to the production: warm and enveloping in the lows yet cold and wintry in the highs. It's a steady rhythm intent on intoxicating you.

The @audioglider remix reconstitutes the original into a thick, almost Amen breaks like direction. The synths are blown up to an optimal size and layered into a melodic sequence, keeping the original mystery. The breakdown is progressive house bliss, melancholy without being saccharine, before crashing back into the rhythm with added vocal by juSt b and soaring strings.

@jameswelsh's deep techno take is filled with percolating percussive hits and melodic arps weaving in and out of each other with total abandon. Featuring a considerably bigger kick, this is one to kickstart the main room.

The @mattrmusic remix starts off minimal with a deep meta physical engine, a hulking rhythm that slowly moves forward. Two separate breakdowns introduce a rising melody soaked in emotion, and the latter explodes into a 4/4 pattern that will sound divine on a dusty festival dancefloor.

If you're after the perfect opening track, look no further than the elegant remix from @ev3rsun. With its delightful opening 2 minute sequence, it is one part ambient and one part secret waiting to be told. It breaks into a gentle rhythm that sets the mood for what's to follow.

Coming fresh off his new Balance remix for juSt b's 'Light Sweeper' EP last Friday, it's with pleasure again that we welcome back Mattr with another lovely uplifting remix, this time of Kiz Pattison's 'Come a Bit Closer' for Re:Sound.

Kiz Pattison has teamed up with the vocal talents of Asyn, on his first solo release with us. Come A Bit Closer, is a stripped back progressive journey! Pattison has purposefully made Asyn’s airy vocal the star of the show. With added trademark effects running throughout, we think that Come A Bit Closer is Pattison’s best work to date.

With releases on Renaissance, Balance, and many other respected imprints. Mattr has gained much respect with his progressive breaks sound. His remix provides a balance between day time parties, to sunrise settings, rounding off another fantastic release that we are very proud of.

Premiere: Kiz Pattison - Come a Bit Closer (Mattr remix) [Re:Sound]

Feeling extremely excited and proud for giving continuity to KEENE and Kaleta's release 'Ayessi', this time in collaboration with the internationally renowned music producer and composer Henrik Schwarz. It also includes an outstanding remix from one of our favourite artists 'Philou Louzolo', responsible for bridging the gap between afro diaspora sounds and House and Techno.

Henrik Schwarz came up with two versions in wonderfully colourful fashion, sunny vibes and a triumphant feel that completely envelops this production, with shimmering disco hi-hats bringing the rhythm urgency and subtle strings and blips filtering away in the bedrock of the composition. A buzzing synth bores a tunnel through the centre of the groove while perfectly blending with Kaleta's vocals.

Philou Louzolo showed his prolific production skills in all its glory with each element carefully positioned to keep things energetic, laying the foundation of a dancefloor bomb. It features an array of warm arpeggios that adds bright colours to the mix, with driving afro percussion pushing the track along with a gentle sort of power. Kaleta's vocals and blasts from sprightful trumpets were efficiently used bringing tension to the mix.

Opening with a glistening pad & tight off-beat percussive line, the title track Colos invites you to explore a sort of fantastical trek through the purest of euphoria, with its mellifluous warmth & playful vocal carrying you all the way to the end.

Radiating a neoclassical quality is the second superb offering, XR. Its gentle organic rhythmic elements & key-work paired with a subtle vox bathe you in a highly visceral state of bliss.

Finding deep resonance with the likes of forward-thinking arists like Max Cooper, Otik, Boards of Canada, Overmono, Jon Hopkins, & Ulrich Schnauss, Mattr has always veered towards the left-field end of the electronic spectrum, with granular synthesis, random midi-expressions and intricate drum programming at the root of his signature raw emotive productions.

Back in his hometown of Birmingham, he hosted nights at Black Box with fellow innovator Alex Banks & Maxxi Soundsystem, signing music to Faceless Recordings, Ozono, & TrippyCode. With support from Amé, Guy Gerber, & Laurent Garnier, to name a few, he went on to launch his own imprint Helical Scan with Lewyn Stan followed by Loft & Sound where he’s released a string of exquisite melters, including Primary, Spiel, & Celadon.

The track serves as a vibrant odyssey through the rich tapestry of Afro-Caribbean heritage. Sebastian Rivero completes this auditory experience by punctuating the composition with expertly executed synthesizer stabs, effectively adding the final, exquisite touch to this musical treat.

This Afro House gem is a fusion of traditional and modern sounds, radiating with an afrofunk vibe thats both infectious and deeply rooted in rhythm. The track is driven by groovy guitar riffs, funky vocals, and a vibrant brass ensemble, all layered over a thumping bassline that pulses with energy. The blend of organic elements with electronic touches—like crisp drums and sleek synths—brings a fresh, contemporary edge to the production, making Ma Elle a standout addition to the Cacao Records catalog.

Gledd, KEENE - Ma Elle (Original Mix)

This song talks about 2 people that meet and instantly fall in love. The thing is they both have a past that keeps them from diving strait in the love tunnel. So they basically have to rely on each other, forget the past, make the extra mile, in order to stay together.
It also features my good friend and amazing singer Nuno Just.
Me and Nuno have been working together for a while now and it's always a pleasure to have him around the studio with me. 
It's the perfect connection in terms of producer-songwriter-singer. 
In this case we wrote the lyrics together.
Hope you enjoy this track! 
If you do please support my work by sharing it as much as you can.
I'm doing this for me and of course for all of you.
It will be available for free download for a limited period as it will be part of my upcoming album (early 2016).

Extra Mile

Eli Fola returns to Cacao Records for his second release on the label—this time in collaboration with KEENE—for an emotionally rich new track: "Gbese."

Rooted in hypnotic rhythms and tinged with a melancholic touch, Gbese draws its name from the Yoruba expression meaning “move your legs.” But it’s more than just a call to dance—it’s a rhythmic invitation to move with intention, embrace the present, and find joy in motion.

Blending Afro-inspired percussion, textured grooves, and Eli Fola’s captivating vocals, Gbese is both soulful and immersive. Its message—delivered through Yoruba lyrics—encourages smart work over struggle, and celebrates movement as a form of alignment and purpose.

Whether on the dancefloor or navigating everyday life, Gbese offers a moment to connect, reflect, and keep moving forward.
