'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.

For our newest release, we took a deep dive into our catalogue and found a special EP, which formerly was only available on limited edition vinyl. 

"Illegal" is the name of the release and it´s by Brazil´s Edu K, the legendary front man, songwriter and enfant terrible from Porto Alegre, formerly lead vocalist of punk funk group De Falla. The "Illegal" EP, now exclusively re-released on Bandcamp, was originally put out in 2006. Its seven fantastic mash ups and party anthems are still very likely to rock any party today! 

"Illegal" features sample heavy versions of songs from Edu K´s "Frénetiko" album, such as "Popozuda Rock n´Roll" (here called "State Of Shock & Roll"), "Sex-O-Matic" ft. Deize Tigrona in a special Bonde Do Rôle remix, "Bundalele Baile Jean" and many more.

"Really excited and happy to share with you these edits i've been making because these were some of the tracks that inspired me the most last year. And, being the nerd that i am, i wanted to make club versions that could be played at my parties and also by other people who find these as interesting
and fun as i do.

Huge thanks to everyone who works with me and that supports the music i make, already thinking about Vol.2 !"

Daniel Haaksman´s "Flora" is currently blossoming up wide circles in clubs and radio shows across the world. Now it received a energetic, fertilizing update with a baile funk break which lifts the melancholic "dreamduro" vibe of the original version up to club banger.

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.
