My first ever-remix produced during the pandemic back in 2020. It received the approval stamp from Mr Shapeshifter himself, Simon Marlin. Unfortunately, it cannot be released due to copyrights, but I am very grateful for receiving his blessings on this project. Thanks Simon!

** a new edit coming soon!

When Love Breaks Down (Soul Jawa 90s Edit)

The three segments

The intro is soulful and virtually drumless. It is soothing and musically minimal. It narrates the beginning of the relationship. The honeymoon. Followed by a bridge and finally the hook. This part is upbeat. It expresses our efforts, the tango, and the journey we take to make a relationship work. It is decorated with deep synth patterns and afro-like house percussions. Enjoy! 

** Cacahuates translates to peanuts in Mexican-Spanish. It is taken from the Aztec language Nahuatl and literally means coco bean.

DJ / Producer

Michael Caffin, better known by his artist name Soul Jawa, is an American Afro & Deep House producer based out of San Diego, California. He is a Dutch native with family roots tracing back to the Dutch Colonial era of the East Indies - now known as Indonesia. Both of his parents originated from the Indonesian island Java, or Jawa, by locals. 

He studied music at a young age while also producing mixtapes with multi reel-to-reels and turntables. When moving to San Diego, he took a much needed break. Thereafter, he explored remixing instead and surprisingly received a welcoming response from established artist—such as, The Shapeshifters, Dutchican Soul, and DJ Chickawowwow of StreetSoundsRadio (UK). 

With guidance from industry expert—Oscar P, Soul Jawa is dropping his own tracks on record labels such as Kolour Recordings (Detroit), Open Bar Music (NYC), and HEAVY (NYC). It also allowed him to produce "Deep Quest Essentials", which airs weekly on Starguardz Radio, Amsterdam and Brabant Mfm Radio, all available on Soundcloud.
