INI Movement is proud to present this debut collaboration between three nations - the UK, Kenya and Congo, bringing a modern fusion of authentic East-African Rumba and electronic sounds.

London-based producers Village Cuts, have teamed up with legendary vocalists from one of East Africa’s most prolific bands, Orchestre Les Mangelepa, alongside rising Kenyan guitar prodigy Shama to produce Baiskeli.

Whilst the song title might elicit images of a bicycle ride through the Kenyan countryside, the lyrics are a celebration of African music sung in a mix of Swahili, Lingala and English, and delivered by the unmistakable harmonies of the Mangelepa trio.

Shama is an expertly trained young guitarist, who founded and led the Rumba reviving group, Orchestra Masika Afrika in his homeland Kenya. Despite only recently rerooting in London, he has already become extremely in-demand for his skills in yielding the African axe.

On remix duties, acclaimed disco-edit maestro Aroop Roy provides a fantastically light-handed flip, complete with funky bass guitar and synth ecstasy. Cementing the Kenyan connection, INI Movement mainstay Ngalah Oreyo creates a deep and dubby escapade, heavy on the mighty Mangelepa’s hyped-up chants.
Baiskeli is a celebration of connectivity. Despite a recent loss of much physical interaction, musical collaborations mean the spirit of togetherness is still very much alive.

Caroline Loeb & Oliver - C'est La Ouate (Steph Seroussi Smashup)

I love this track but the arrangement sometimes feels like it lacked some cohesion. So, I copy and pasted from both the 12" and the Dub version to create this version. Other than that, it is completely untouched.

Mostly known for his works with the Ears on Earth label and BF Treatment duo, JAI does what he usually does best on his edit of Magic Fly; Mixing up ravey 90’s sounds with a modern twist. Lau Tropico then proceeds with his take on Djulu, that eases us for the heavier load coming in later. Aaron Maple do his usual magic that we’ve all been accustomed to with his edit of This Is A Sound. A sure-fire party starter that’ll make even the most modest guest make this feet do a 1-2 step. Ramin and Reda continues on, where Aaron left us, with their heavily middle-eastern inspired Dehati and guides us for our final number by the man behind the operation; Miro-Benji. The release ends with, in his own words, an “anti-edit” of Love Will Tear Us Apart. One of those tracks that is perfect as an ender but still leaves the listener urging for more.
