KITT0023-6 IT BEGAN IN AFRICA VOL.2
After the huge success of last years release “It Began In Africa Vol.1” and the hit single “Bolingo Gringo” (Beatport Top 10 for 7 weeks), Juliet Sikora and Tube & Berger decided to produce the It Began in Africa Vol.2. A lot of hard work has been put into making the latest volume of the compilation.
In cooperation with The African Children‘s Choir™, 26 artists, Turntablerocker, Lützenkirchen, Dapayk, Delicious, Chris Lattner, Pirupa & Pigi, Aki Bergen aka Neuroxyde, Doomwork, Daniel Steinberg, Oliver Klein, Tube & Berger, Juliet Sikora, Gorge, Ante Perry & Kolombo, Larse, &ME, Basti Grub, Sarp Yilmaz, Nicolas Stefan, Wollion & Harada, Ismael Rivas, MSMS & SKAI, Heartik; Andhim, Krizz Luco, Rauschhaus, La Rez & Mick Zakon and Nicolas Stefan made their own interpretations of the original songs for the “IT BEGAN IN AFRICA VOL.2” charity compilation.
All profits made from the sale of this compilation will be donated to the choir and their further projects; i.e. building schemes, the founding of nurseries, and schools to help children get away from a life on the streets.
“With this project we sincerely hope to be able to support the children of Africa and empower them so that one day they will be able to help themselves”.

Larse - Karoo (Snippet)

Embarking in the nineties, Larse swiftly rose to prominence in
Germany's music scene. His DJ talent caught the attention of 1LIVE
Radio, landing him a 15-year gig co-hosting "1LIVE Klubbing." This
journey earned him a German Dance Awards nod and a dedicated
fanbase, leading to gigs worldwide. His 2011 track "The More I Want"
wowed Ibiza and renowned artists. He continued his rise with hits like"So Long" on Noir Music and a gold record for his remix of Candi
Staton's "Hallelujah Anyway." Larse's live presence graced esteemed
venues including Fabric in London, Sankeys in Manchester, Polar
Lounge in NYC and Booom in Ibiza. With 70 million+ plays and 215k+
monthly Spotify listeners, he's a digital mainstay. In 2020, he dropped "We Were Young" on Musumeci's label, followed by remixes and collaborations with names like Jazzanova, Till von Sein, Shit Robot to name a few. 2022 saw his triumphant return to Defected with "A Part Of," topping charts once again and earning nods from DJ Harvey, Bob Sinclar, and Diplo. With his 2024 Version of the legendary Candi Staton Remix, Larse got massive support from the Keinemusik crew, who constantly dropped the unreleased remix in all their shows around the globe, leading to the long awaited release in juli on Defected as well. Playing Glitterbox at the worlds No.1 Club HI Ibiza this summer, Larse's musical journey remains an ode to passion and dedication in the electronic realm.

Been following dance music since the early days, started off listening to house, migrated to techno after listening to a life changing essential mix from Darren emerson and being educated by a friend back home about the joys and intricacies of techno who also introduced me to the Arches in Glasgow when it was in full swing with the Slam boys doing their weekly sessions.

Always looking for music that challenges and pushes the boundaries and I still like to keep an open mind and ears to all kinds of music from general pop, rock and Jazz. My passion still remains for techno which I fell is often misunderstood to be banging 4/4 euro trance. Music has to be about emotion and feeling, with my insprations and loves coming in particular the Detroit sound from the likes of Robert Hood, Carl Craig. However, not forgetting my Glasgow roots, they have been central to my inspiration. Maybe it's the dull grey winter nights that helps bring out the creativity in us!

Hoping that I can share my passion and enthusiasm and give something for others to enjoy while getting plenty of personal pleasure at the same time.
