Daniel Haaksman´s acclaimed “With Love, From Berlin” album (released on 25th of January) is focussing on Berlin as a city of yearning for international artists. For his album Daniel commissioned various co-artists to reflect upon their live in the German capital. The feature with Angolan singer Kalaf Angelo (formerly of Buraka Som Sistema) e.g. reflects on what it means to be Black in Berlin. Mexican singer Coco Maria sings in “La Añoranza” about feeling homesick and eventually transforming into a Neu-Berliner.

One of the outstanding tracks of the album however features Brazilian singer [{“Cibelle”(})]. Internationally known since the late 1990s as one of Brazil’s most radical and talented singers and interdisciplinary artists. After a musical hiatus for a focus in visual art and transitioning , having come out as a non-binary person - thus addressed in “they/them” pronouns - [{“Cibelle”(})] moved to Berlin in 2015 after finding comfort and room for self exploration in Berlin showing itself as an accommodating, sex positive trans feminist queer hub.
Cibelle’s work addresses a need for us in society to halt the redistribution of violence and structural oppressions stemming from excluding each other on the basis of race, ability, beauty standards, gender assignment, identity or expression.
“Corpo / Sujeito” (“Body / Subject”) unfolds into a radical questioning of what it means to be a man or a woman, a body bound person or a person beyond a body, our gaze upon each other. Lyrically it narrates states of being that lay beyond gender binaries whilst affirming the strength that arises within someone in letting go of complying with the pre-existing gender binary boxes and their roles. Berlin echoes in “Corpo / Sujeito” (“Body / Subject”) as one of the global centres where one may find room to better understand oneself outside of cis-hetero-normativity, and play out one’s existence with moderately more safety than other capitals, such as São Paulo, where [{“Cibelle”(})] comes from.

The video for Corpo Sujeito offers an opportunity to the viewer to reset their own societally programmed gaze towards people in regards to how one perceives and understands gender, queerness and expression.
It shows an intersectional and inclusive selection of individuals in a plurality of sexualities, skin tones, facial features and gender identities across age in the act of simply being.
they “dress up” wearing all items of clothing in unprescribed ways, in an accumulation of layers that may mirror the layers of self that form identity or the layers of societal judgement that could exclude or include a person.
They get completely covered to the point the view looses the sense of the biology which is animating these animated piles of clothes. The bodies move with gestures that would be perceived as “feminine” or “masculine”, or combinations of both in nuance, regardless of their assigned gender. The camera highlights features that a white cis-hetero-normative society would deem as imperfections, unacceptable grooming those bodies.
The goal is to incite radical empathy though a kinder and more present gaze that recognises the validity of all shapes and forms of being and expression beyond assigned gender, identification, performance, age, race, ability, sexuality, class.
To honour the life that inhabits all bodies and expresses throughout.

The single is accompanied by a breath taking remix by LA´s Kelman Duran. Known for his unique deconstruction take on dembow ryhthms, Duran transformed Cibelle´s song into a sacral sounding, introspective track with a gut-shattering bass.

Angola has long been a hot bed for musical innovation. Of couse, immediately kuduro comes to mind when there´s talk about electronic dance music from Angola and the South Western part of the giant continent. But besides kuduro, Angola also birthed a bastard child of kuduro and afro house, called ku house, which was especially popular in the early 2010´s. This relatively obscure term describes tracks that have house tempo, yet the triplety, off-beatish percussion groove of kuduro.

One of the biggest ku house anthems is DJ Havaiana´s “Cazukuta”, originally released in 2012. It immediately became a staple in the Angolan club scene. Soon picked up by Angolan Kuduro MC Francis Boy, the catchy synth line and the irrestible beat morphed into the backing track for the song “Itocota” which became a major success in Portuguese speaking Africa, as well as Portugal.

When DJing in Angola in 2013, Daniel Haaksman randomly picked up the DJ Havaiana instrumental version of “Itocota” and began to play it out in his DJ mixes, always gathering enthusastic responses about the track. Produced on very basic home studio equipment with a modes sound, the original instrumental was confined to mixtape use only. Only 2019 Daniel found out that DJ Havaiana was on Soundcloud and contacted him via Whatsapp to ask whether Havaiana had still the stems for “Cazukuta” as Daniel would´ve loved to mix and arrange it in better sound quality. Luckily, Havaiana kept the beatless mix of “Cazukuta” and sent it to Daniel.

The result is here. “Cazukuta – Daniel Haaksman Edit”, a highly fascinating club track that both combines the innovations of Angolan dance sounds as well as an early Detroit vibe. It´s the perfect in between tune.

“Cazukuta” is a word in the regional Angolan language Quimbundo meaning confusion, clutter, turmoil. It’s also the name of a dance style from Angola. This dance is often showcased during the street Carnival parades or carnival related festivities.  Cazukuta as a genre is a heavier semba, played during the carnival, with many instruments similar to the Brasilian samba school ensemble.

Now dive into this fantastic track and play it out!

Early DJ support from Branko, Populous, Murder He Wrote, Tash LC, Poirier, Peter Kruder and many more!
