London-based duo Village Cuts explore Afro/Latin music through the lens of UK club culture,  in both their productions and lively events across the city.

In their first collaboration with Palenque Records, the duo have shaken up some much-loved modern classics from the celebrated Afro-Colombian group, Son Palenque, with the sound of hand claps, maracas, tambores and chants lending themselves suitably to club interpretations. Village Cuts also enlisted the help of Kenyan collaborator Shama, who recorded new sebene-style guitar to complete the release. 

The EP-opening remix of Damelo Acá is a thunderous peak-time banger driven by the classic Son Palenque call-and-response vocals and rolling percussion, building towards an eruption of soukous joy when the new lead guitar takes centre stage. 

Their version of Zamba is a dynamic and up-tempo flip, with rolling sub-bass and choppy beats. The original guitars direct the rhythm, before joyous melodies and infectious ‘Zamba’ chants command energy from the dancefloor. 

Last but not least is a club-warming rendition of Akalaka, featuring the heartfelt saxophone of Colombia’s legendary Michi Sarmiento, emitting euphoric bliss. The track is driven by its club thump and catchy vocals, plus psychedelic sound design to lift and transcend.

These 3 tracks breathe new life into the revolutionary and entrancing grooves of Son Palenque, for the next generation of party-goers. Primed for summer time sound-systems and sure to make you move!

Mastering by Sam Interface ( London)

This duo from Peru are close to Nuri’s heart, and after sharing so many stages along the past years, it only made so much sense for them to work on this remix. Producers, DJs, and graphic designers Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira aka https://soundcloud.com/dengue explore and utilize rhythms from Latin, African, and Anglo culture, re-creating them in electronic form by mixing old and new, analog and digital, resulting in a unique, instantly identifiable sound accented by their striking hand-crafted visuals. Ranging from psychedelic cumbia to dub, from salsa to footwork, from tribal to techno, their sound and visual palette continue to evolve in concert and on recordings, adding more color, flavor, and texture to their heady and provocative mix.

Dele Sosimi's album 'You No Fit Touch Am' was released in 2015 to much universal acclaim. A perfect document of the lessons the keyboard master and vocalist learned in Fela Kuti's ranks during the 70s and 80s, but brought firmly up-to-date and with contemporary social comment as vital to the Afrobeat genre as any rhythm or instrument. This year Wah Wah 45s reveals the final four remixes to be taken from this hugely popular and influential project.
"You No Fit Touch Am Retouched 2" releases March 10, 2017 on Wah Wah 45s.

Exclusive Premiere: Dele Sosimi "E Go Betta (DJ Khalab Remix)"

Last winter solstice I released my last EP “Bundok” (mountain) and announced that I would be releasing a new EP every solstice and equinox. I’m happy to announce that my Spring EP “Island Blooms” is here!
In this 3 track EP you’ll find: metallic gong sounds of the Philippine kulintang layered over afrobeat, moombahton and cumbia. Brazilian baile funk patterns remixed with rhythms that came from my hands/heart/ancestors. Moombahsoul, jazzy chords and funky breaks with a healthy dose of assorted percussion and a hint of vocal. Flavors of the world that somehow found their way to my shore and that I reflected back through my Northeast Los Angeles, Filipina-American style.

Island Blooms

Coco Water

It´s been almost 9 months since Daniel Haaksman´s laid back “With Love, From Berlin” album was released, and looking back to its release date from today, it has stayed fresh all those months and is still being discovered by new listeners. The album and its many single releases have stayed afloat particularly because of the steady flow of high-class remixes by piping hot producers such as Kelman Duran, Merca Bae, Rastronaut, Lazy Flow or godfathers like Mad Professor which came out since the album´s release, accompanying the single releases to the album

Now its the time to put out a whole batch of additional tracks of “With Love, From Berlin” to the world which haven´t been remixed yet. As with the remixer cast of the single releases, the list of producers who were comissioned for retouching is flaming, upcoming hotness.

Brasilia based producer and DJ kLap, who´s weekly releases of baile funk remixes is turning heads on Soundcloud and beyond has reworked the album´s debut single “Overture” in a 150 bpm style, currently all the rage in baile funk. New York´s Atropolis, much in demand expert in the low frequency level blending of various global sounds reshaped “Love Horns” into a deep, trap style remix. German hot ticket Paul Mond, hyped by the Soulection crew amongst others for his acoustic guitar driven, bass heavy mash ups, made a fantastic samba-trap version from “Como Sera” ft. Lavoisier. Originally a fado inspired song, Paul Mond spun the melancholic original into a sunny, Brazil bass grenade, playing all additional instruments himself! Avernian + Strick, currently praised as the emerging hard drum king pins, remade “Occupy Berlin” ft. Kalaf + She´s Drunk into a Berghain compatible club monster. And finally Moscow´s Fisky, who also shaped “Wolkenreise” into a melancholic hard drum version.

All in all containing nine remixes, “With Love, From Berlin – Remixes” will show the greatness of the original album in contemporary club mode. Now play the remixes out loud!

Sault´s "Black Is" album was my favourite album of 2020 and as I wanted to play out some of its tunes in DJ mixes for radio, I made a samba dub version of "Don´t Shoot Guns Down" adding Brazilian flavour to the original track . Samba, since it originally emerged in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s, was always a source of joy yet often contained political lyrics dealing with current social and political issues. So what better groove format for my edit to enhance Sault´s original track which addresses the ongoing police violence against Black people.

Multi-disciplinary artist, composer and producer, Mo Laudi’s work questions race, mobility, erasure, post-colonial ideologies. It connects with spirituality, African knowledge systems, Afro-Futurism to form new ways to understand the multiplicities of cultures. Recent experimentations have led him to develop a new visual language in paintings, collages, videos and ceramics. 
He proposes new perspectives in the field of sound installations. Informed by his South African roots, he is renowned for his key contributions to Afro-Electronic music from a London base during the first decade of the millennium and, since then, from Paris. Mo Laudi experiments with sound as material. He creates sonic landscapes, mixing vocals, textures and rhythms with his core knowledge and experience of art, fashion, dance, design and music as sociopolitical critique of society.
