Bermuda is a territory in the Atlantic Ocean spread across over a hundred of islands which have been luring holidaymakers for decades. More importantly though, it is a cultural melting pot with majority of population being of African descent and strong ties to the Caribbean, Great Britain, the US and Portugal being inherent in the country's past and present.

The islands are also a birthplace of Obeka (@djobeka), a young DJ and producer whose music is a perfect testament to Bermuda's Afro-Caribbean identity. Having moved to the UK aged 16, he started channeling his childhood years of absorbing the music via carnivals, handmade sound systems and riddim culture through the lens of British electronic/club music scene. The latest outcome of these experiments comes in a form of 'Move Like So EP'.

The release opens with a somewhat murky and dystopian 'Duppy Drum'. Containing a nod to Afro-Caribbean culture in its very title ('duppy' is a word of African origin widely used in Caribbean beliefs), the song features the sound of West African drums recorded live. 'Test System' - a first ever track with Obeka himself on vocals - brings surprising reminiscence of Otto von Schirach distorted voice heard on Modeselektor tracks all those years ago. To wrap things up, the title song ('Move Like So') is set at a lower tempo and has been written in a natural movement of dancehall as Obeka remembers it from back home.

LA CREOLE invite Pekodjinn - 19 Décembre 2021

Calm and airy synths, dreamy vocals, West African elements - and all of that embedded in the electronic music. In the past two years such mixture has become an intriguingly characteristic sound for Mansa (@mansa-music), a rising producer of Gambian descent who was born in Sweden but now resides in Brussels, and his brand new single 'Sonte Saramala' presents the signature style in its full glory once again revolving around the rhythm played on djembe drums.

Cherry on top comes in a form of a lively remix produced by SHE Spells Doom (@shespellsdoom). The sought-after Zambian artist has been living through quite a breakthrough moment of his career in the recent months with his track making it to the compilation released by the legendary Berlin club Tresor as well as being invited to the Crack Magazine mix series and being selected among the ones to watch in 2022 by Mixmag.

The island nation of Sri Lanka is facings its most devastating economic collapse in its history. Since March, 2022, waves of protests have culminated in a protest village in the capital city of Colombo. Where there is protest, there is protest music. This episode features some of the most potent expressions that have come out of this mass movement, in Sinhala, Tamil and English, as well as “bus music” (a popular genre among the working class) and a few deep cuts of yesteryear.

A-WA - HABIB GALBI (Deena Abdelwahed Remix)

It´s been almost 9 months since Daniel Haaksman´s laid back “With Love, From Berlin” album was released, and looking back to its release date from today, it has stayed fresh all those months and is still being discovered by new listeners. The album and its many single releases have stayed afloat particularly because of the steady flow of high-class remixes by piping hot producers such as Kelman Duran, Merca Bae, Rastronaut, Lazy Flow or godfathers like Mad Professor which came out since the album´s release, accompanying the single releases to the album

Now its the time to put out a whole batch of additional tracks of “With Love, From Berlin” to the world which haven´t been remixed yet. As with the remixer cast of the single releases, the list of producers who were comissioned for retouching is flaming, upcoming hotness.

Brasilia based producer and DJ kLap, who´s weekly releases of baile funk remixes is turning heads on Soundcloud and beyond has reworked the album´s debut single “Overture” in a 150 bpm style, currently all the rage in baile funk. New York´s Atropolis, much in demand expert in the low frequency level blending of various global sounds reshaped “Love Horns” into a deep, trap style remix. German hot ticket Paul Mond, hyped by the Soulection crew amongst others for his acoustic guitar driven, bass heavy mash ups, made a fantastic samba-trap version from “Como Sera” ft. Lavoisier. Originally a fado inspired song, Paul Mond spun the melancholic original into a sunny, Brazil bass grenade, playing all additional instruments himself! Avernian + Strick, currently praised as the emerging hard drum king pins, remade “Occupy Berlin” ft. Kalaf + She´s Drunk into a Berghain compatible club monster. And finally Moscow´s Fisky, who also shaped “Wolkenreise” into a melancholic hard drum version.

All in all containing nine remixes, “With Love, From Berlin – Remixes” will show the greatness of the original album in contemporary club mode. Now play the remixes out loud!
