Tracklist & Intro

Asymetrics Mixtape #14: Matteo Fava - Pirate Soul

Innocence

If a Poet

dark nu soul jazz fusion 

COLD VINYL HEART

(slow groove / jazzy syncopation / imperfect pocket – intentionally human)
(70–74 BPM, laid-back swing, dark Rhodes + upright bass, faint trumpet ad-libs)

⸻

[Intro – bass + vocal hums]
Hmm… spin me slow…
turn the night once more…

⸻

[Verse 1]
There’s a needle in my chest,
and it sings the same old song.
You can call it love or rest,
but the groove keeps draggin’ on.

I was melting under low light,
your reflection in the glass,
half asleep, half forgiven,
just a shadow made of brass.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I hear your voice
in the dust between the noise…

⸻

[Chorus]
Cold vinyl heart —
scratched but still plays right.
Soft static start —
you fade into the night.
Every spin another lie,
every skip another sigh,
cold vinyl heart —
still hums when love has died.

⸻

[Verse 2]
I heard your footsteps in the reverb,
your perfume in the tone,
the room is drunk with echoes,
but the silence sounds like home.

You left your laughter in the channel,
your breath inside the groove,
now the warmth became mechanical —
but I still can’t move.

⸻

[Bridge – dissonant jazz chord shift / spoken & falsetto overlay]
Out of tune — still true,
broken rhythm, but it’s you.
Needle shakes — heaven bends,
songs don’t die, they just pretend.

(falsetto layers hum: “oooh–ah–ah–ohhh”)

⸻

[Final Chorus – slower, breathier]
Cold vinyl heart —
you don’t bleed, you just repeat.
Cold vinyl heart —
still turning, incomplete.

Every groove remembers you,
every chord bleeds throug

[FR]
Introduisant l'arrivée du LP "Juguya" de Baba Commandant, sur le label Sublime Frequencies, Mawimbi est fier de présenter "Wasso", l'un des titres les plus frappants de l'album, dans une toute nouvelle version accompagnée de remixes dans l'esprit du label, signés Loya ou encore M. Boom.

Caractère excentrique et mystérieux de la scène underground de Ouagadougou, Baba Commandant a débuté comme danseur Bobo traditionnel avant de s'engager dans une riche carrière musicale et de rejoindre le célèbre burkinabé Victor Démé en tant que musicien de sa tournée. Influencé par Fela Kuti, King Sunny Adé et Moussa Doumbia, Baba Commandant joue au dozo n'goni, un instrument associé aux chasseurs traditionnels Donso, reliant les écarts entre les différentes générations et les strates de la société burkinabé.

Accompagné du Mandingo Band, Baba Commandant nous délivre un mélange d'afrobeat style Fela, de mandinka blues et de funk hard-hitting. Enregistré au Ouaga Jungle Studios, "Wasso" est un excellent exemple des sons bruts, qui fondent le Mandinka blues, le dub et l'afrobeat nigérian, le tout avec une touche de punk.

La face A se dote également d'un remix signé Loya du label Mawimbi, dont la réinterprétation provoque un rythme plus dense accompagné de subtiles couches de sons organiques.

La face B du disque quant à elle est composée de deux remixes friendly DJ, avec des samples impressionnants du producteur toulousain M. Boom. Dépouillant la piste originale jusqu'à en sortir ses éléments les plus animés. Les deux versions feront des armes parfaites pour les DJs world comme les DJs de house music.

Following the release of Baba Commandant's debut album "Juguya" on the mighty Sublime Frequencies label, Mawimbi is proud to present "Wasso", one of the most striking cut from the album, in brand new mixing shape alongsides killer electronic remixes from the likes of Mawimbi signee Loya and rising producer Mr. Boom. 

A rather eccentric and mysterious character from the Ouagadougou underground scene, Baba Commandant started out as a traditional Bobo dancer, before engaging in a rich musical career and joining Burkinabé star Victor Démé as one of his touring musicians. Influenced by the likes of Fela Kuti, King Sunny Adé and Moussa Doumbia, Baba Commandant plays dozo n'goni, an instrument associated with traditional Donso hunters, bridging the gaps between different generations and strata of Burkinabé society. 

Accompanied by his Mandingo Band, Baba Commandant play a mixture of Fela-style afrobeat, mandinka blues and hard-hitting funk. Recorded at the notorious Ouaga Jungle Studios, "Wasso" is a prime example of the band's unpolished and raw sounds, melting Mandinka blues, dub and Nigerian afrobeat with a punk attitude. 

The A-side also features a remix by Mawimbi signee Loya, whose leftfield reinterpretation moves at a much higher pace with epic modular motifs and subtle organic layers of sounds.

The B-side of the record is made of two DJ-friendly remixes with impressive mixing work from Toulouse-based producer Mr. Boom. Stripping the original track down to its most lively elements, both mixes are perfect club-ready weapons for tropical-minded and house DJs.

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)

" I Got Life"!!!!  Off my newest album “The Sun” releasing early next year. It’s a take on one of my favorite Nina Simone songs. This has been a real hard year for me personally so I made this song as a reminder to be thankful for my blessings in the midst of what can sometimes seem like unsurmountable chaos and sadness…More on this song and album later but enjoy, and if so inclined please share! Peace peace - Raashan
