Once a Man

'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.'

Diamond Dealer - Ndlalifa Ft. Tabia (Jackson Brainwave Remix)

Greek DJ/Producer Da Mike teams up with Cape Town-based artist, Deep Aztec to usher in the new season with an invigorating EP for MoBlack Records. A consonance of hope, figuratively and literally, 'Ethembeni' is an immersive journey through the blissful currents of house and the cerebral persuasion of electronica. Tinctured with electric chroma, the synergy between the duo gleams through layers of rhythmic cadences, vigorous percussion and winsome synth patterns. Compassed with Deep Aztec's poignant verses and affective vibrato, 'Ethembeni' is a breathtaking symphony of nature and man-made sound patterns that illuminate aural space with a vision forward. Stripped of vocals but letting its essence linger, an Instrumental Mix wraps up the saga. A prophecy of kinetic energy left to aerate, unwind and drift along climactic progressions through to a binding finish.
