Babani Soundsystem’s latest single, "LÉLOU," is a profound homage to the pioneering Mauritian artist Menwar, who first introduced his music under the name Lélou in 1977. This release, however, transcends a simple collaboration. Menwar is not merely an influence on the band; he has been a guiding figure, imparting his philosophy and playing a godfather-like role in shaping the project. His involvement has deeply informed the sound and spirit of "LÉLOU," making it a testament to his enduring legacy.

The track pays tribute to Menwar’s trailblazing contributions to sega music, blending the genre’s traditional roots with contemporary electronic beats. The result is a seamless fusion that speaks to a global audience, bridging generations and cultures.

Babani Soundsystem’s approach merges the ancestral power of sega with modern electronic influences, drawing from the belief that sega music can evoke spirits. This creative synergy produces a layered, immersive listening experience that resonates with both emotional depth and rhythmic energy. Released by Babani Records, the single aims to celebrate the rich, multifaceted musical heritage of the Indian Ocean.

In addition to the original track, "LÉLOU" features a selection of remixes from international producers, including DJ Doraemon (Portugal), Vitu Valera (Peru), BĖXSEE (UK, DnB), Kretekboyz (Netherlands, Ghettotech), and Ayef (Mauritius). Each remix offers a distinct interpretation of the original, further honoring Menwar’s legacy. The release is rounded out with "Melodi La Mer," a second original track that continues to explore the deep, resonant beauty of Mauritian music.

PSYCHO THRILL Cologne-founder CLAUS BACHOR is one of the German long-term House and Techno DJs at all, and as friends in Detroit say "he's been doing this as long as anybody else that we know! His sets can range from classic Disco & old school House classics all the way to the darkest, bangin' techno that you've ever heard!" However, he's not standing still yet: The Psycho Thrill club and vinyl label run by him has just turned 25 and Bachor is still doing bookings all over Europe, the United States and beyond. 

His long-term affiliations with Detroit techno music and also his journalistic involvement with the topic of Detroit Techno/ Electro/ Chicago-House as an author/editor over the years has made him a world renowned expert. This experience and vast knowledge of the techno genre has led him to appearing in many documentaries, the most noteable being 'High Tech Soul' [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddh88l_57Bk ] which focused on the creation of Detroit techno music. Other film credits include being involved in the highly acclaimed 'We Call it Techno' [ https://www.discogs.com/Various-We-Call-It-Techno/release/1388974   //   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPFrWojYQ4 ] documentary which focused on Germany's early techno scene and club culture. 

Without using the usual hype for trends, he has managed to gain a position as multi-communicator in the German Techno and House scene, in which he is always convincing as a DJ.
