XVI Records is delighted to present brand new signee Kai Meara with his forthcoming EP ‘Morii’. Following the release of albums ‘Splurge’ and ‘Rheumatic’ and holding down a residency on Peckham’s Balamii Radio, the London-based artist continues to dent the scene with his staple refined production.

First track lifted from the EP is Dancing Stone’, having caught the early attention of Raji Rags (NTS Radio), it entrances listeners and immerses them in Kai Meara’s shimmering world.

Blessed with an ability to fabricate distinctly lush sonic textures, Nicolaas Van Reenen stands as one of Cape Town’s finest. Under the moniker Fever Trails, he dispenses sounds that go against the grain, fashioning himself a perch on which to sit without competition. His upcoming EP Wax Bridge continues that exact remit with “Draw Me”.

Teeming with indigenous influences and spacey soundscapes, “Draw Me” is indicative of this artist’s well versed ability in all things music. Dreamy vocals along with ambient warmth sit atop live percussion with fresh elements being roped in to keep you on your toes – all culminating in a complex musical fabric that will have you wrapped up. It’s criminally good.

Wax Bridge touches down on 12th September through @quit-safari.

Super Liminal is the LP that catapulted the afro-latin electronic band Penya into the spotlight at the end of last year. The group, comprised of Magnus Mehta, Lilli Elina, Jim Le Messurier and Viva Msimang, have been highlighted by many of the industry's top names including Gilles Peterson, Bonobo and Mr. Bongo, among others. We tip our hat to Pete from On The Corner Records for his exquisite A&R skills in discovering the band and also for gathering together the producers that have contributed to the follow-up remix package.

Photay is the first name to grace the Super Liminal Remixed EP and the Cham Bomb remix is our premiere today. Keeping the structure but pitching up the tempo of the original, stripping away the impactful percussion and adding hypnotizing horns that twist and turn about the crescendoing piece, the prolific producer turns this one into a dark and raw piece that'll fuel any late night dancefloor.

Next up on the A side is Sarathy Korwar's remix of Why So Angry, a driving and spellbinding piece not so unlike Photay's remix, with added horns and darker atmosphere, utilizing the entrancing vocals of Lilli to their full potential. Closing out the first side of the record is Dengue Dengue Dengue's tropical rework of Search it Out, complete with added flutes and an upbeat bouncy marimba rhythm.

Opening up the B side (really the AA1 because all of the remixes are just that good) is Daisho's remix of Iyesa, a fairly stripped back version with chopped vocals, kalimba thumbings and textured atmospheres developing towards the latter half. The final remix in the package comes from Al Zanders, who turns the original of Tribes on its head into a bubbly dancefloor piece with a new bassline and warm electric piano noodling.

Overall, this remix EP is an extremely strong package, the likes of which we haven't seen in quite a while. All the producers that were brought together are prolific musicians and managed to keep the essence of Penya's originals but added their own distinct flavours to their respective remixes. Expect to hear these all for quite some time.

PREMIERE: Penya - Cham Bomb (Photay Remix)

Being big fans of Contours, we are delighted to premiere his brilliant edit of "Mangroves" for Pyramid Project for ADA Records. 

Brought together by ADA label boss, Lasta, Pyramid Project finds Contours in collaboration with some of Kenya's most accomplished musicians, such as drummer Katumba, percussionists Abaki Simba Masta and Inspekta, and pianist Mutoriah. The full EP is released on November 13.

Perfect as an early dancefloor builder as well as in a Global Jazz set, Contours’ understanding of rhythm and tension really brings his edit of "Mangroves" to life.

With the original recording being a dramatic piece of Swahili Jazz, Contours uses the grittier elements of the composition to deliver an edit perfect for a cosmopolitan setting. Maintaining the driving elements of the bassline and rhythm section, the tension of the edit is developed by Contours’ synth work and a minimal choice of Mutoriah's riffs to build a more direct arrangement.
