This wonderfully constructed EP kicks off with the first track on the A-side - ‘I Don’t Know’. From the get go, this is a slinky, catchy funky number. The warm, all consuming bass line jogs along, aided by subtle guitar riffs that light up the melody. The chugging train suddenly breaks for an outrageous blues vocal - deep growls and female backing singers take control before the track launches straight into the stratosphere. A guaranteed dance floor bomb.

This year’s edition adds many fresh new faces to the ever expanding RNT artist roster, with head-nodding R&B stylings from Yasmin, a dreamy contribution from German deep house legend Vincenzo, modern live-arranged Afrobeat from Barcelona’s Arnau Obiols, burning cosmic disco from Ilija Rodman, and many more.

The RNT stable turns out as well, with snappy afro-punk-disco from Underground System and an Afro-electro secret weapon from label co-head JKriv. With ever gorgeous artwork that is now the signature style of this series, this collection is one for both the listening shelf and the USB!

Arnaud D & Unqle Chriz - Queen Of My Heart (Revisited Mix)

I don’t know why

Vargulf, the wolf who slaughters for pleasure, lures you deep into his private oasis with Sydney bush bashers The Loin Brothers providing the sound track.  The original mix is a Cerrone-esque disco odyssey featuring a rolling bass line and orchestral strings which slides into a howling guitar solo climax.  The Acid Re-Rub expresses the will of Vargulf through sweaty acid lines, storming piano stabs peaking with a frantic instrumental feeding frenzy.
  
Los Angeles production team Woolfy Vs Projections serve up their top sirloin mix, coaxing the garden open to receive the morning sunshine.  The remix showcases their blissed out  tropical sound, featuring vocals from the Woolfman himself.
 Melbourne musterer Tornado Wallace also enters the Garden to round off the EP.  He lays down a deep and heavy beat that pounds under the moonlit spectacle. This remix follows on from his recent 12” on Delusions of Grandeur of which has seen support from Greg Wilson, Mr Scruff and Mark E.
 
Garden of Vargulf is the much anticipated follow up release from The Loins’ 'Heavy Helmet', which featured a remix by Mock N Toof.  Heavy Helmet caught the attention of artists such as Aeroplane, Ewan Pearson and Ivan Smagghe, with Smagghe  featuring the remix on his Live at Robert Johnson mix.

Africa Seven presents A7 Edits. The African reissue and compilation output slides over to the dancefloor with its new edits label, packing both holsters with edits alongside sought after originals, a combination you don’t see all that often. The man in charge of the first edition is Stefano Ritteri, who has seen recent releases on Freerange and Congoloid, has DJs like Axel Boman regularly playing his edits and has his own imprint Viaggio set to drop in 2019. Stefano is a producer where sampling is key to his creative process and unreleased edits of African and other worldly delights have made up a lot of his DJ sets of recent.

With the A-side we see Stefano take on Ekambi Brillant’s 1976 Nyambe, originally released on BBZ productions and later featuring on our African Funk Experimentals series. Stefano takes the Cameroonian’s disco number, extends it, speeds it up and adds a whole lot of dancefloor energy, with a well-constructed break down and party-time drop. Stefano manages to create the perfect dancefloor weapon with this one, maintaining a lot of the original energy and reintroducing it into the 21st century.

On the B-side we have Stefano’s interpretation of one of the more psychedelic numbers that we have released on Africa Seven, with Zinabu from Bunzu Soundz, originally featured on their 1976 in demand Afrodisia album. This edit sees the Nigerian psychedelic highlife lift off into space, with trippy sound effects playing on top of chunky sampled drums and a well thought out bass line whilst the guitar solo competes against the vocals for lead position.
A7 Edits offer with this release the opportunity to see how the artist has interpreted two original works on the same record. This being Volume 1, it goes without saying that we have others on the way.
