The journey continues with the third release in Ori Kaplan’s 33 Degrees series—this time heading West. Following the acclaimed 33 Degrees East and 33 Degrees South EPs, 33 Degrees West explores bold new sonic terrain. The EP delivers three genre-defying remixes of Kaplan’s original tracks, known for blending Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and electronic jazz elements.

Featuring some of the world’s most innovative producers of global rhythms, the remixes reimagine Kaplan’s sound with fresh energy.

Shantel turns “Yoizale” into a belly-dance-ready banger, full of brass, bass, and infectious rhythm. It's a sunset on fire—an irresistible call to the dance floor.

Daniel Haaksman gives “Sahara Express” a funky, percussive twist, infusing it with tribal rhythms and global flair. Known for his African and Latin electronic sound, he transforms the track into a wild sonic journey through the Sahara.

DJ Raff remixes “Free Love” into a dreamy, soulful groove, adding Latin-tinged beats and spacious warmth. His version feels like a moonlit stroll through a desert oasis. Freedom becomes both intimate and expansive in this rework.

33 Degrees West isn’t just a remix EP—it’s a passport to musical exploration. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Kaplan’s world, this release invites you to cross borders, blend genres, and lose yourself in sound.

Ori Kaplan "Sahara Express" (Daniel Haaksman Remix)

Following the international success of the debut single "Aguacerito Llové" which received radio support from DJs such as Gilles Peterson (Worldwide FM) and Jamz Supernova (BBC6) amongst others, the 3rd single of Canto Diáspora is out now: "Pajarillo Verde / Seis Figureao". The mini medley combines two important works of Latin American folklore, reinterpreted by the first Latin American female vocal ensemble from Berlin, Canto Diáspora, whose voices create a lively connection between tradition and the present.

"Pajarillo Verde" is one of the best-known songs in the Venezuelan folk repertoire. Its name evokes the bird – light, iridescent, fragile – and at the same time the rhythm of the joropo, which traces the gallop of horses across the vast plains of the Llanos. Between Venezuela and Colombia, where harp, cuatro and maracas characterise the soundscape, the song tells of the fragility of life and the delicate connections between humans and nature – a poetic motif that echoes in many Latin American songs. In Canto Diáspora's interpretation, the piece takes on a new resonance: tradition is upheld, yet brought into the present, entering into dialogue with the "Seis Figureao", a Venezuelan rhythm rarely heard outside its homeland.

Verses written especially by Canto Diáspora are recited by the voices of the women in the ensemble, who have created their own community in Berlin through singing. In this soundscape, past and present, origin and lived experience interweave to form a living space in which tradition lives on and, at the same time, something new emerges. Music becomes a bridge here – between the plains of the Llanos and the streets of Berlin, between memory and the present, between the intimacy of individual lives and the power of community. Every note, every rhythm tells of movement, encounter and the delicate balance between preservation and renewal.

Five years after its initial release, Daniel Haaksman´s „Black Atlantica Edits“ compilation on BBE gets another re-vitalisation. Recently deleted on BBE, the edit of C.K. Mann + Carousel 7’s “Asafo Beesuon” now sees a re-release on Man Recordings.

The original version of „Asafo Beesoun“ is a buoyant highlife classic built on warm guitars and an infectious rhythmic pulse. The song’s lively horn lines give it a celebratory lift that feels instantly energizing. Its call-and-response vocals draw directly from Fante musical traditions, grounding the track in deep cultural roots. At the same time, the clean production and tight band interplay highlight the modern edge C.K. Mann brought to highlife. Carousel 7’s rhythm section locks into a groove that’s impossible not to move to. The song radiates a sunny, communal spirit that makes it timeless. Altogether, it’s a shining example of Mann’s ability to blend tradition and contemporary flair into something irresistibly joyful.

Originally, a 13.30min medley, the Daniel Haaksman edit reduced the track to its essential funk part, perfectly for DJ and club use. With its super low end kick and a mix friendly intro and outro, this highlife classic gets transported into the 21st century making it the must-play track for any Afro oriented set.

Now play it out loud!
