SINGLES & REMIXES

Remixes

Premieres

'Luna, Rojo y Palmera' (Moon, Red & Palm Tree) makes reference to a magical night with red hues on a warm beach somewhere in the Caribbean. A dreamy night, filled with melancholy from the humming sounds coming from the coast.

For this release, KEENE wanted to create contrast, yet keep the characteristic sound that represents their Cacao Records label.

Berlin Techno queen Anja Schneider offers a huge remix taking its cues from breakbeats providing a retro-future feel, building through bobbing arpeggios. A melancholic and theatrical mix, complemented by big sweeps and minor chords that punctuate in the background. A massive remix that hypnotises.

Complementing this, is an Afro interpretation from Saint Evo, a gifted DJ/Producer from the Savannah plains of Kenya, home of the famed Maasai people. Constantly bringing the sensuous vocals from Barbie Williams who combines playfully with Evo's characteristic stabs. Massive breakdowns resulting in an energetic centered raw lead, accented by bleeps and sweeps for extra zest. A mind-melting remix for the more melodic Afro house enthusiasts.'

Premiere: KEENE, David Mayer - Luna, Rojo & Palmera (Saint Evo Remix) [Cacao Records]

For the KEENE's debut Club Bad release, they have delivered a super elegant yet powerful two track EP titled ‘Legendary Mother’. The first and title track of the EP is an edgy house track with touches of afro, percussive tendencies, organs, bells, and trumpets, combined with subtle vocal cuts from the "Golden Era" of the ball movement back in the late 80s, giving the right vibe that works perfectly for the dance floor.
 
On the flip side we have ‘Avenida Central’ which is a Brazilian funk influenced house track that reflects memories from the street in Panama's city centre of the same name. The track features well worked looped samples, guitar and horn licks creating a great organic feel to the track and rounds off this EP to perfection.

The KEENE brothers hail from Panama and have been producing together since 2010. They’re known for their seductive deep house, house and techno with ethnic and organic touches. They launched their own Cacao Records label back in 2016 and have featured artists like Steve Bug, Re.You, Black Loops, Emmanuel Jal, and Stereo MC's. The brothers have released on high quality labels like Sol Selectas, Get Physical, Monaberry, whilst collaborating with artists like Anja Schneider, Kiwi, Floyd Lavine, Boddhi Satva and more.

PREMIERE : KEENE - Avenida Central

Panama-born and now Berlin-based duo KEENE deliver a deep and trippy interpretation of the Sparrow & Barbossa 'Saudades Do Mar’ on their Cacao Records label, which celebrated its 5th Anniversary last year. Stompy toms, unusual percussive rhythms, a wild heated melodic line and some acid to spice up the day complements the outstanding vocals in Portuguese from Tosz, making it an outstanding remix to look up.

Feeling extremely excited and proud for giving continuity to KEENE and Kaleta's release 'Ayessi', this time in collaboration with the internationally renowned music producer and composer Henrik Schwarz. It also includes an outstanding remix from one of our favourite artists 'Philou Louzolo', responsible for bridging the gap between afro diaspora sounds and House and Techno.

Henrik Schwarz came up with two versions in wonderfully colourful fashion, sunny vibes and a triumphant feel that completely envelops this production, with shimmering disco hi-hats bringing the rhythm urgency and subtle strings and blips filtering away in the bedrock of the composition. A buzzing synth bores a tunnel through the centre of the groove while perfectly blending with Kaleta's vocals.

Philou Louzolo showed his prolific production skills in all its glory with each element carefully positioned to keep things energetic, laying the foundation of a dancefloor bomb. It features an array of warm arpeggios that adds bright colours to the mix, with driving afro percussion pushing the track along with a gentle sort of power. Kaleta's vocals and blasts from sprightful trumpets were efficiently used bringing tension to the mix.

Berlin-based, Belgium-born Strummer has been a Get Physical associate for several years. He has dropped various singles including the standout 'Rising' which also featured on the Words Don't Come Easy series, and always crafts the perfect mix of rhythm and melody with plenty of hints of his homeland's famous cold wave sound. He often uses his own voice, drum machines, synths and guitars in his music, and since his debut album in 2018 on LOK Recordings, he has had high profile support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Adam Port and Ame. This summer, he dropped 'Atmosphere' on Obsolet Records which proved another successful outing and now Berlin Gets Physical finds him digging deep into the famous city's freshest and most essential house sounds across 15 well-sequenced tracks.

PREMIERE: KEENE- Ecoute [Get Physical Music]

In a remarkable fusion of creative minds, KEENE and Sparrow & Barbossa laid the foundational idea for this collaboration, which was then elevated to a higher dimension by Afrosideral's Afro-Caribbean lyrical genius. The track serves as a vibrant odyssey through the rich tapestry of Afro-Caribbean heritage. Sebastian Rivero completes this auditory experience by punctuating the composition with expertly executed synthesizer stabs, effectively adding the final, exquisite touch to this musical treat. For TT021 we present to you Vibración Cósmica.

Budáh, this past summer’s hit is making a comeback to make your days brighter: DJEFF, the Angolan master producer - and a critically acclaimed DJ - makes his comeback on MIDH with his rendition of the Angelos - KEENE - Emmanuel Jal collaboration, previously released on Madorasindahouse. Transforming the track into a clubbier, housier version of the original, Djeff uses his trademark style to bring this unforgettable song to new great heights, and we are pretty sure it's going to be as successful as the original. Do you agree?

London-based DJ and producer Anii is welcomed to the AEON fold with her mystical ​​Magic EP. She invites the indomitable forces of Man Power and Kiwi to each provide their own take on her original productions.
Speaking of the EP ​Anii ​​explains that she had ​“been working on it for the last couple of years. It’s a project I saved and changed so many times, that I even forgot to name it. In the end I thought the name can just be Magic!”.
Opening the EP, ​Magic is littered with glistening percussion, tribal drums and mysterious exotic undertones. It’s an immersive track and one that begs you to get lost in it its rhythm. Me Me Me label boss Man Power adds a harder edge to his extended version that veers off midway with a huge, pounding bass and a furious flurry of synths. Trojan Horse ​is a dark and hypnotic affair with middle-eastern influences and industrial percussion. Kiwi puts his own stamp on the closing track adding a low, growling bass and subtle distortions.
Anii is living proof that hard work pays off. Since arriving in London from her native Poland, she’s earned a solid reputation for playing high quality melodic techno and has appeared on line ups alongside Kolsch, KiNK and Michael Mayer. She’s had releases on revered imprints including Kompakt and Polymath, and this latest EP on Alex Niggemann’s esteemed label marks the beginning of a fruitful relationship.

Exclusive Kiwi 'KatE'

He does not play rugby nor are kiwis his favorite fruits - the  artist moniker Kiwi is the result of looking at rotten Kiwis on Alex Warren's kitchen table and the fact that he only had little time to come up with an artist name after he had signed his first record deal. Since then the Londoner has taken the scene by storm and released music on renowned labels such as Correspondant, Disco Halal, Optimo, Futureboogie and many more. His latest signing, 'LakE/ KatE' on Fort Romeau and Ali Tillett's Cin Cin label. The two tracks not only complement each other because the track-titles rhyme but also at a musical level. Kiwi continues to walk his futuristic disco influenced path with both tracks whilst 'KatE's' convincing elements are definitely the double bass slaps adding drive at the low-frequencies while the lopped synth-pads provide the same at a mid- and high-range and subsequently gain a different note with delaying distant voices.

Joe Goddard and Kiwi's split EP 'Jack Come Back / LakE' will be released February 8th, 2019 on Cin Cin.

Alex "Kiwi" Warren's passion for music has been a fire that has long burned within. With acclaimed releases on Disco Halal, Optimo, Moda Black and others, Kiwi's work has earned him a wealth of support from some of the scenes biggest names such as Andrew Weatherall, DJ Harvey and Gerd Janson. He now joins Edinburgh's Paradise Palms for the latest instalment of their highly regarded 7'' series which has previously seen groovy, off-beat offerings from Tom Blip and Justin Robertson.  
‘’You Want Her Too’’ is a playful, low slung stomper featuring a slowed-down House beat, pads and a catchy oddball chant from Warren himself. ‘’Peeling Oranges’’ ups the NRG and uses an Italo-strength arpeggiated bass-line to great effect, result in a peak time electronic Disco smash. Both tracks feature alternative 7'' and digital mixes.
