'Move Like So Remixes' not only reimagines 2021's EP full of Afro-Caribbean explorations courtesy of Bermuda-born producer Obeka (@djobeka) but also perfectly showcases different approaches to the art of remixing.

Take 'Test System' - a dancehall-infused track that has proven to be the most popular song from the original release with radio plays in Kampire's BBC Radio 1 residency among others - which comes back in a form of three impressively distinct versions. Influential Peruvian duo Dengue Dengue Dengue (@dengue) revisit their DNGDNGDNG alias and brilliantly come up with a rework in which jungle breaks smoothly intertwine with reggaeton. Further into the EP you can hear the voice of Swordman Kitala, a talented Ugandan MC with numerous appearances on Nyege Nyege's sister label Hakuna Kulala, who flawlessly delivers his verses in Luganda alongside original beat produced by Obeka. Last but not least, a true gem has been cooked up by DJ Danifox (@djdanifox). Strongly departing from the original, he brings his characteristic sound that ideally sets the tone for closing the release with an almost jazzy feel and a somewhat nostalgic manner (saudade, one may say).

Two remaining instrumental songs from 'Move Like So' also get new versions - and both will be perfect for your DJ sets. Title track receives a speeding up treatment from Ultima Esuna (@ultimaesuna), Mexican artist already gathering much deserved attention for her dancehall-leaning compositions that earned her a place on the 2022 Nervous Horizon compilation. And then there's Bandicut (@bandicut), one of the key figures in the Lisbon's global bass scene, who went all out and delivered a true banger making use of the West African drums from the original song.

SMS For Location, Vol. 6 is our biggest journey yet—a 20-track mixtape full of the raw energy and spirit of Batida, Rumba, Singeli, Amapiano, Hip-Hop, and R&B. It’s our tribute to the dance floors that shaped us and the global sounds that inspire us—blending ancestral rhythms with bold, future-ready beats.

We teamed up with some of our favorite artists—DJ Lag, Pierre Kwenders, UNIIQU3, Branko, Vanyfox, Black Rave Culture, and more—to create something that feels both grounded and free, familiar and full of surprise.

This isn’t just a mixtape. It’s a map of our diasporic sound—a celebration of community, experimentation, and radical connection. From Southern to Eastern Africa and beyond, every track carries that Moonshine spark.

Thanks for being part of this journey. We made this for the world, and for you.

Yo! (feat. James Benjamin, Bianca Oblivion, Lamsi)

V/A - Applause - Various #2
Label: Applause (@applause-musicandshow)
www.instagram.com/applause_show/

With Applause V.A. Vol. 2, the Paris-based label continues its exploration of electronic music at the intersection of local and diasporic scenes. Curated by Matteo, this second compilation brings together both emerging and established artists from Europe, Africa, and the diasporas, with a focus on hybrid sounds and boundaryless rhythms.

Equally suited for club play and deep listening, the selection spans a wide range of aesthetics—from bass music to percussive techno, baile funk to Afro-Caribbean grooves. Returning contributors like Artem, DJ Travella, Blck Mamba, Lorkestra, and Hey Bony further anchor the label’s evolving identity, as they become increasingly connected to its booking agency and roster.

“As with the first volume, my aim was to capture a living and moving ecosystem,” Matteo explains. True to Applause’s ethos, the compilation acts as a bridge between diverse club cultures, highlighting bold and personal approaches to contemporary dance music.

Blanc Manioc – BM050 – Hyper Manioc (VA) – RELEASE ON JULY 11!

Blanc Manioc, an avant-garde label and true incubator of the African electronic scene, is celebrating its five-year anniversary with the launch of the first volume in the Hyper Manioc series.

To mark this milestone with you—the ever-growing and curious audience eager to discover the artists and connections cultivated by Blanc Manioc, as well as by Maquis Electroniq (the organization that supports African artists and produces the festival and events of the same name in Abidjan, Dakar, and Lyon)—this volume features a series of electrifying and original collaborations.

At the heart of this compilation is a simple idea: to revisit the label’s iconic tracks by entrusting them to the vibrant French club scene. DJs, producers, and collectives active in the nightlife world reimagine the Blanc Manioc universe, injecting it with fresh energy. Featured are the powerful anyoneID (La Créole, Mina, Bryte), and the high-energy BJF, who delivers a remarkable remix of MC Waraba’s "Djoro"—a track made legendary with his collective Couvre x Chefs, all of whom are highly active in Paris.

Montpellier’s Chô Club collective, known for their wild parties, reinterprets "Fumay" with their leader Mendi at the controls. Nigerian rapper Aunty Rayzor is also remixed by Swiss producer Luvanga.

The single dropping on July 4 is an unreleased track by producer Hey Bony, who, thanks to the label’s team, collaborates here with Ivorian rapper Marla. The result? An explosive cocktail of bouyon and nouchi rap: raw, punchy, and irresistibly addictive.

The compilation opens with a gem: a surprising remix of "Club Dunia", transformed into "Dub Dunia" by the legendary Stand High Patrol. This musical journey, stretching from Bamako to Brittany, blends MC Waraba’s Mandingo rap with the dubadub sounds of the Breton soundsystem. The outcome: an unexpected and captivating fusion, an irresistible groove with a powerful message—both anti-war and celebratory of life. This highly contagious track sets the tone for the Hyper Manioc EP, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, via Blanc Manioc.

Doing good with good music has always been Gravitas’s way of life. With this in mind, Gravitas Recordings is pleased to release Circulate Vol. 1, a global bass compilation curated by David Starfire and SOOHAN. This compilation boasts an impressive roster full of original tracks, remixes, and collaborations with eclectic artists such as Kaya Project, An-ten-nae, Desert Dwellers, Beats Antique, and CloZee, to name a few. Circulate was created in support of Beyond the Grade, a grassroots 501(c)3 not-for-profit Austin-based charity that provides after school music education for underserved children.

Over the years, Austin musicians have donated their time to Beyond the Grade in teaching various programs, camps, and classes such as beats, live performance, drum kits, keyboard/piano, and guitars. Music is proven to positively increase people’s happiness, learning, and creativity; however, many schools are not able to fund music education. David Starfire and SOOHAN understand first-hand how beneficial it can be towards cognitive development and self-esteem in children, and they are excited to spread Beyond the Grade’s mission among the electronic music community through Circulate.

Another mission of Circulate was to advocate the global bass music community that is growing around the world. This compilation spotlights different sounds and features artists from around the United States, Finland, Ghana, Canada, Hungary, Angola, Poland, France, the UK, and more who contribute to create cutting-edge music that is a fusion of traditional cultural music mixed with modern beats, bass, and rhythms. There is a movement in music with different cultures coming together musically with dance music, as dance crosses all languages and is a language of its own to be understood universally. From celebrations to rituals, dance brings people together. With the internet, anyone can listen to music from another culture and fuse it with dance music to create a unique version to share with others. This global bass compilation was created with the understanding that people are interested in being educated about music from around the world and hearing sounds that are outside of the norm. Beyond the Grade was the perfect charity to partner with for this compilation, and 100% of net proceeds will be donated to assist in “keeping music alive in Austin schools.
