“Groove was the agenda with our remix, so we stripped the original down & added our own layers of kick & bass suiting it perfectly for packed dancefloors.” - SURAJ

Makadem is perhaps the most innovative Benga artist there has ever been and his desire to mentor and collaborate with emerging artists and push both genres forward is the driving force behind SURAJ x Makadem - Rabai.

This initial collaboration blends Makadem's musical artistry and experience with SURAJ's forward-thinking production mindset and minimal aesthetic.

"Working with Makadem on Rabai was a one-of-a-kind experience. Not only did i get to learn from him but i got the chance to explore and experiment with new sounds too." - SURAJ

Jowaa is an Afrobeat/Electronic Music project by Gafacci that's been making waves in Ghana and as a fan of his work, I jumped at the opportunity to remix the track, Banku Dade. I sped up the tempo and focused on using the original vocals to create a version carefully tailored for my peak time sets.
 
I've also made Jowaa - Banku Dade (SURAJ Remix) available as a FREE DOWNLOAD to say thank you to all the supporters out there who've made this an amazing year!
