ECHLN - Step (Feat. Angelo Quila & FonZo)

Following up his recent contribution to the DTW free download series with vocalist Shirah Cheezer, ECHLN brings you a fresh, laid back hip-hop joint featuring MCs FonZo and Angelo Quila. ‘Step’ was conceived at a time when ECHLN wanted to steer his productions toward the dancefloor, yet still retain the mellow vibe that had become a signature of his sound. The result is a bouncy, slow burning beat, accented with spacy percussion and tied together by an infectious, effortless hook. 

Kwetsima Maluleke a.k.a ECHLN (pronounced echelon) is a South African born music producer and sound engineer. He was born and raised in Pretoria and now lives in Cape Town. Since 2009, ECHLN has been forging a unique blend of R&B and hip-hop glued together by uniquely South African soulful elements.

"This is a planet once inhabited by Man who, seeing no reason to stay, deserted it leaving nature to take over. Recolonised by the forests and their ecosystems, it became a place where spirits and bodies are liberated in an endless celebration."

"Parce qu’ils n’y trouvaient plus d’intérêt, les hommes avaient quitté les lieux, laissant la nature y reprendre le dessus. Recolonisé par les forêts et leurs écosystèmes, cet astre était devenu le lieu où l’on venait libérer corps et esprits dans des fêtes sans fin."

'Legend' is lofty praise that is often used lightly, however, Mike D from the Beastie Boys certainly is one in the truest of spirits. We are delighted after over 30 years of being involved in music to finally release a project involving such a hip-hop pioneer and icon as Mike. In keeping with the maverick attitude of the Beastie Boys, you don't always get what you expect. For this release there isn't a hip-hop beat, instrumental-funk or hardcore-punk joint in sight, rather an electronic-African club banger. 

Mike took it upon himself to rework Malian artists Idrissa Soumaoro and L'Eclipse De L'I.J.A. and their track ‎’Nissodia', which is taken from the 'Le Tioko-Tioko' album originally released in 1978 on the German Democratic Republic (GDR) label ETERNA. The song was also featured on 'The Original Sound Of Mali' compilation released on Mr Bongo back in 2017.

It was November 2019 and the day before a Mr Bongo 30 years celebration event in Paris at the Pedro party in the 'New Morning' club, when out of the blue the remix landed in Dave Mr Bongo's inbox. We loved it straight away and decided to road test it the next night in the club. Whether it be a remix/re-edit/rework, it doesn't matter, what does matter is that it works spectacularly in the club and had people jumping on the stage to dance at the party. A sensational track and one which leaves a beautiful memory of good-times from a night out in Paris (and one which is in retrospect is even more poignant as the late-great maestro Tony Allen was in the club that night), and we are sure it will light up many more dancefloors to come.
