Wah Wah 45s present two very special cover versions from our beloved Afro-electronic duo, Raz & Afla. Having recently released their sophomore LP, Echoes Of Resistance, to great acclaim and support ranging from Nick Grimshaw on BBC 6 Music to Tash LC on BBC Radio 1, the pair offer up their versions of two very different pieces of music that have become a mainstay in their live sets, and means a lot to them personally.
First up is their version of the deeply rooted Afro-disco come pop/soul classic Going Back To My Roots.
“We love this song. The lyrics resonate with us, talking about the meaning of connection to a land and its people. The history of this song is also fascinating, from Hugh Masekela and Orlando Julius through Odyssey and Richie Havens. We wanted to give it our own flavour. You can’t choose your heritage and where you are born. It is always a part of you and we like to celebrate that.”
Written and first recorded by Lamont Dozier in 1977, Going Back To My Roots was famously covered by Richie Havens in 1980 before becoming a huge crossover hit when interpreted by disco outfit Odyssey in 1981. It’s that version that provides the inspiration for the artwork on this release, courtesy of designer Michael Sallit, but musically Raz & Afla very much give their take their own unique dance floor feeling. It’s a version which has received support from Craig Charles and Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music.
“It’s just one of those ones that you’ve got to dance when you hear it! It’s definitely gonna be in my DJ sets this year, I’ll tell you that!“ Craig Charles
“They say, ‘We want to give it our own flavour.’ Job done!” Lauren Laverne
Next, it's something of a left turn, tackling Aphex Twin’s sleazy and sinister turn-of-the-century dance floor bomb Windowlicker and taking it somewhere completely unexpected, as Raz explains:
“We wanted to go to a different place from our influences for this one. When we told people we will cover this tune everyone said ‘but how?!’ In Raz & Afla style. We had an idea of what elements to recreate from the original and how we can reference it within our spectrum of sounds. It was so much fun to do and really kicks off at our live shows.“
It’s a heavily percussive reinterpretation, replete with spooky wordless vocals, funky guitars and spine tingling synths that builds into something of a future Afro-house anthem, whilst respecting the genius of the original recording. And it’s not only the music that is paid tribute to, with graphic designer Michael Sallit once again coming up trumps and here using the inspiration of Chris Cunningham’s iconic artwork to deliver an equally tongue-in-cheek thing of beauty.

Benjamin Fröhlich - Changing Energy - Manuel Darquart Remix

Gold Rush

You might know Ben Evers as one half of Adana Twins – but now he’s stepping out solo again, and stepping up. Fueled by the raw energy of electronic music and a deep connection to the dancefloor, Ben blends house, R&B and hip hop influences into a sound that’s both emotional and powerful. Years on the global circuit as a DJ, plus serious studio chops, have shaped him into a truly versatile artist with his own voice and vision.

This release marks a new chapter – a personal statement wrapped in rhythm, built for big rooms and intimate spaces alike. It’s Ben in full control, letting the vibe unfold with every beat.

Joining the ride is Anna Schreit – a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for her fluid style and deep musical roots.

Raised on her father’s art rock and shaped by both the raw pulse of Berlin’s underground and her formative time in Munich, Anna has carved out a name for herself with genre-bending sets and a fearless approach to house and beyond. A resident at Sisyphos, she brings her own flavour to the release with a killer remix that hits just right – slick, unrelenting, and dripping with intent.
 
A heavyweight collab from two artists who know exactly where they’re going – and aren’t afraid to take the scenic route.

Theoric Proximity, the debut album from Jus Jam, explores themes of connection, distance, and the subtle spaces in between. Each track contributes to a cohesive, dreamlike journey that reflects his personal and emotional approach to house and electronic music.

Placed early in the tracklist, Midnight Marauder stands out as a key moment in the album. Balancing early house and deep house, the track is carried by a warm, rounded bass line that drives the groove, while a brass sample adds a boom bap flavor rooted in Jus Jam’s hip-hop influences.

The atmosphere is airy and nostalgic, evoking the feeling of drifting through a summer city at night—heat lingering in the air, softened by a light breeze. Drawing on inspirations such as Space Ghost and Ron Trent, but also the spirit of groups like A Tribe Called Quest or Black Moon, Midnight Marauder encapsulates Jus Jam’s vision of house: music that grooves, that transports, equally at home on the dancefloor or in more intimate, reflective moments.
