lavibe presents Latitude 0° 0′ 0″, a 2-tracks EP by French Gabonese artist Banga ((formerly known as Petit Piment).

Based in France, born in Gabon, the Dj/producer grew up and lived in Angola, Nigeria, Brazil, and fed her musical culture with all those influences, from Baile funk to Afro House or Kuduro.
Banga made herself known through her mix series and edits on Soundcloud and saw her music more and more supported these last months by artists like Sho Madjozi, Virgil Abloh, Diplo, Sango, Branko or Prudence.

Latitude 0° 0′ 0″ is an ode to the duality and complexity of the human being. It celebrates black and white, the slight border between masculinity and femininity, and everything that unites us in difference.Latitude 0° 0′ 0″ is the invisible equator line that makes the connection between Gabon and Brazil, but also the link between diaspora’s rhythms and club music.

Latitude 0° 0′ 0 is an introduction to Banga’s universe.

'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.

Obeka - Duppy Drum (Bandicut Remix)

Babani Soundsystem’s latest single, "LÉLOU," is a profound homage to the pioneering Mauritian artist Menwar, who first introduced his music under the name Lélou in 1977. This release, however, transcends a simple collaboration. Menwar is not merely an influence on the band; he has been a guiding figure, imparting his philosophy and playing a godfather-like role in shaping the project. His involvement has deeply informed the sound and spirit of "LÉLOU," making it a testament to his enduring legacy.

The track pays tribute to Menwar’s trailblazing contributions to sega music, blending the genre’s traditional roots with contemporary electronic beats. The result is a seamless fusion that speaks to a global audience, bridging generations and cultures.

Babani Soundsystem’s approach merges the ancestral power of sega with modern electronic influences, drawing from the belief that sega music can evoke spirits. This creative synergy produces a layered, immersive listening experience that resonates with both emotional depth and rhythmic energy. Released by Babani Records, the single aims to celebrate the rich, multifaceted musical heritage of the Indian Ocean.

In addition to the original track, "LÉLOU" features a selection of remixes from international producers, including DJ Doraemon (Portugal), Vitu Valera (Peru), BĖXSEE (UK, DnB), Kretekboyz (Netherlands, Ghettotech), and Ayef (Mauritius). Each remix offers a distinct interpretation of the original, further honoring Menwar’s legacy. The release is rounded out with "Melodi La Mer," a second original track that continues to explore the deep, resonant beauty of Mauritian music.

Babani Soundsystem x Menwar - LÉLOU (Kretekboyz Rework)

ë’s Y-Series, bringing you club-oriented material from over the globe, delivers the first official E.P from Woreka, part of the ë DJ crew and member of Babani Soundsystem: Send Me Off To Eat/Little Knives Cut Big Pumpkins (a literal English translation of Mauritian tongue in cheek expressions). 

This belter combines ravey synth lines with textured drums tastefully. The 2nd track to the E.P: Little Knives Cut Big Pumpkins is a more classic kuduro-inspired banger with some spicy electronic textures on top. 

Woreka’s ability to seamlessly assimilate rhythms from around the globe to form his own distinctly personal style makes this project unique as it combines different layers of percussion and grooves with some techno on top. Perfect recipe for the club!
