Mr. soul K

Release : 26.05.2014 Tracklist 12″: A1 Intelligent Revolution B1 Sene Kela - Ron Trent Remix B2 Dounougnan Magni (Chapitre 3) - Simbad Suite Mix Short info: This twelve-inch is the first in triple that will make up the vinyl version of Mr Raoul Ks album ‘Still Living In Slavery’ - his first album on his own label. The second twelve-inch will be release in a picture sleeve that will be able to hold all three records. Recently, Mr Raoul K started to add some kind of soundtrackesque touch to his tracks. On this release, this development is represented by ‘Intelligent Revolution’ - an epic thirteen minute plus rollercoaster ride of a track without any dominant kickdrum. Traditional African instruments fuel an irresistible groove that keeps pulling you in and in. Don’t take anything for granted and stay alert. That is what the Peul-Flute melody keeps saying over and over - never losing its groove or its grip and keeping on pushing. On the flipside, veteran producer Ron Trent flexes his remix muscle on ‘Sene Kela’ and applies his trademark warm deephouse sound to this vocal driven track. The catchy vocal is accompanied by a very lively baseline and some strings to keep the dancers’ feet moving. Up next is Simbads treatment of Dounougnan Magni (Chapitre 3) - a track that features Kuniyuki Takahashi on piano and Sossoba Keita on vocals. The remix pushes this already dynamic track even further and heads toward a climax that melts European and African soundscapes into an outburst of pure dancefloor magic. Enjoy.
