I remember this song being played at a rave, it drove me insane, sick track

PRAKTIKA & JAHELLE - Zélé - PALMS TRAX REMIX

Back in Paris after six intense years in West Africa, the little genius of afrotech-house returns with 10 intense tracks and the best musicians to join him in african studio session (Mali, Burkina and Côte D'ivoire): Lansiné Kouyaté, Innocent Kimpe and the fabulous singer jahelle on his new album "Balani Factory", released on April 12 on Blanc Manioc (distributed by Baco - Idol).
Reflections of his travels, reflections of his imaginations, and tutelary figures, our favorite bagpacker takes a little more the road of the African western with his synthesizers as his only compass. The common thread that quickly becomes apparent is an instrument that has spanned the centuries: the balafon, and the story of the mysterious singer with the tragic destiny of "Zélé de Papara"!
Together with singer Jahelle, they pay her an emotionnal tribute on the eponymous track.
After listening to this single, released at the beginning of the year, the famous DJ and producer PALMS TRAX joined Praktika and took over the tracks for a remix, an 8-minute epic in the pure house tradition, with transcendental harmonic progression and evolving rhythm.

13. Catz 'n Dogz -  Good Touch (Feat. Eglė Sirvydytė) (Catz 'n Dogz vs. Phil Weeks Remix)

The next track to be taken from the forthcoming Akabu album The Phuture Ain't What It Used To Be is 'Another World'.

Andre Lodemann strips the original back into a cinematic affair, layered with orchestral strings that simmer with summer vibes, and compliments the rest of the album adding a mellower side. 

Akabu - Another World (Andre Lodemann Mix)

It's been three years since Swiss producer Michel Cleis conjured a storm with “La Mezcla”, a Cadenza hit cemented into house canon as it was swiftly reissued by Strictly Rhythm, bringing the sabor latino into clubs worldwide. Some more 12”s and a number of high-profile remixes (going from tracey thorn to skunk anansie,for labels like rekids , bronswood or Aus) later, he's now teaming up with DJ Koze's crew for his next move: a colorful, crescendoing 12-minute tune that's ready to make a splash in your summer soundtrack.

“Mir a Nero” begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio – like if Philip Glass make dance music – but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. By the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the track's overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. Simply put, this is Latin House with that anomalous Pampa Records swagger, drenched with flavor like Sangria-soaked mango.

Flip that baby over and you get “Amaranthus”, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. This piece stands as a color-negative of “Mir a Nero”, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. Freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, “Amaranthus” is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the A-Side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.

Why Autonomous Africa?

----------------------

Many of the problems Africa faces are a result of outside interference by other countries, and as the 21st century progresses we will see the continued pillage of African resources to feed the global capitalist machine on an unprecedented scale. Corrupt and greedy regimes gladly sell their land and mineral wealth to finance their own extravagant lifestyles while the vast majority of ordinary people see little or no improvement in their own lives. An autonomous Africa run by the people for the people, where African land is predominantly used to feed African people and Africa's vast wealth of resources is used to benefit the people of Africa seems the only logical way forward. Autonomous Africa's goal is to highlight this message and here presents to you 4 tracks of African inspired grooves.

We fully realise a small run, independently released 12" is going to make very little difference to the world, but doing something has to be better than doing nothing. The idea of an autonomous Africa may be naive and unrealistic, but at some point the world we live in will have to change or future generations are going to be left with very little as we consume way more than our fair share. We have collectively buried our heads in the sand thinking we are powerless to engender change. Individually we have little power but collectively, the power is ours.

About The Mtandika Mission
--------------------------

Mtandika is a large village in the dry Ruaha river valley, 400km west of Dar es Salaam. It is a very poor village.

One of the prime movers in the village is Sister Barberina Mhagala. Since she retired from being Headmistress of the Primary School in 2005, Sister Barberina has been developing a Trade School at Mtandika to provide skills training for girls who are either orphans or have no fees for secondary education. She started by building a classroom and dormitory for the Trade School girls who were given sewing lessons and learning to make garments to sell.

Because many of the children do not have homes locally, accommodation is critical. So Sister then built extra accommodation blocks, not only for some of the girls attending the Trade School but also for some 80 girls attending the local Lukosi Secondary School where there was no accommodation.

The girls are taught to be as self sufficient as possible and as well and grow their own food and rear animals in the school grounds.

Water supply is critical, as water is not only required for every day purposes at the school but for irrigating the shambas [allotments]. Water is currently pumped from the nearby perennial Lukosi river some 500 metres away using a petrol pump. Investigations into a cheaper alternative are being investigated.

Education is essential if Tanzania is to fully develop its full potential and anything is possible given the opportunity. As well as supporting Sister Barberina in her capital expenditure, some 10 of the children at the Trade School and 30 at local Secondary Schools who cannot afford the fees are sponsored by funds raised by the charity.
