Monologues boss Ben Gomori has found acclaim far and wide with his official edits of African gems for labels like Sterns Music and Analog Africa (for artists including Orchestra Baobab, Amadou Balake, Oby Onyioha). Here he rounds up four of his reworks of tasty tracks from artists across the Afro-Caribbean spectrum on four edits licensed from the good folk at Mr. Bongo, Soundway Records and Analog Africa.

South African legends Marumo's joyous 'Khomo Tsaka Deile Kae' gets a good juicing, full of triumphant energy, while Black Truth Band's infectious 'Umbala' is stripped back to a slinky, bumping disco groove. An exuberant slice of 1980s Camerooon comes from Emmanuel Kahe Et Jeanette Kemogne on 'Ye Medjuie', where rousing trumpet refrains meet undulating bass funk. Peter Britto's gorgeous lo-fi soca anthem 'I Want Your Love' rounds off the package, its sweet melancholy given an extra bit of energy for maximum dancefloor effect.

Support comes from the likes of Gilles Peterson, The Blessed Madonna, Make A Dance and Tigerbalm.

PREMIERE: Marumo - Khomo Tsaka Deile Kae (Ben Gomori's Family Affair Edit)

Steel rails sigh under this midnight run
Cold river murmurs where the city’s begun
Small case carried with the dreams I hide
North wind cutting as I start my stride

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Bridges shimmer in a hard blue glow
Ambition rising with the breeze I know
No backward glance at the darker thread
I move north where my voice runs ahead

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Horn cuts clean, letting my plea break free
Street pulse echoing a path for me
I rise onward as the night grows late
Steel and steam tracing out my fate

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Cold river drift, pull me toward the dawn
New stride forming, old shadow gone

I rise alone

Compiled by David ‘Mr Bongo’ Buttle and Gareth Stephens, plus a few personal favourites from Gary Johnson, Ville Marttila and Graham Luckhurst.
