"I was always a big fan of the 70's Fania records but I could never dance to that music properly. I know I'm not alone here. I lived in Latin countries for years, got some friends to help me overcome my motor coordination issues, watched dozens of youtube tutorials but it didn't help. The best I could do while hearing those records was to nod my head like it was another hip-hop tune. So after having wasted numerous flirting opportunities with Latin girls over the past decade I decided to transpose Celia Cruz's music into some more familiar rhythm patterns. I tried to keep the craziness and the passionate feel while adding some of my own head-nodding (and discreet hips shaking) music culture. Made in Dublin Tropical, North side of the Liffey, while experiencing an incredibly mild winter."

Petrona Martinez - La Critica (Uproot Andy Remix)

La Saja - Los Wadyngos (Village Cuts Edit)

Gozar & Captain Planet (@djgozarla & @dj-captain-planet) reinterpret a forgotten tune to fit in on a modern dance floor. It's perfect for welcoming in the summer sun. 

In Captain Planet's own words - "Gozar and I have both connected over our shared deep love and appreciation for obscure vintage music from Africa and the diaspora since we first met at a warehouse party in 2011.. I think? He had just come back from Colombia with a stack of dusty Cumbia and folkloric LP's, and I was a recent transplant from Brooklyn who didn't know any locals yet. We clicked, I started coming to more parties that he and the Subsuelo crew were throwing, then I became an official member of the crew sometime around 2015. For those who don't know, Subsuelo is a tight collective of deejays, musicians, and one feisty photographer, who have been throwing global club nights in LA since 2010, often incorporating our trademark live flamenco meets hip hop element as well as providing a venue for guest artists and deejays from around the world. Josh (Gozar) & I (along with Canyon) opened the Subsuelo headquarters together that summer in an old rundown dentist office in Filipinotown that we converted into shared office/work space and a recording studio which became our base for daily operations. The space is constantly buzzing with group meetings, late night soiree's, and lots of vinyl records in rotation (like the one which gave us inspiration for this track together), with an occasional soundbath or yoga class taking place there as well. This song will not be available on Spotify, iTunes or other DSP, because quite frankly, we have sampled an old record and don't want to monetarily profit off the music. But we are happy to give away the tune for free download off of Soundcloud and share our updated dance floor take on this classic West African guitar band sound."

Gozar adds "I originally found this track on a trip to Barranquilla, Colombia back in 2011. I got some burnt MP3's full of tracks that DJ's play on the "Pico" sound systems - Salsa, Cumbia, Champeta, Dancehall and tons of African tunes. I actually took some photos and wrote an article for a Mediellin magazine my friend ran that you can check here, here and here. This one always stood out to me and was one of my staple tracks when Subsuelo first started. I'm excited to have a chance to collabo with Charlie and get a remix out there!"

The full Mystery Trip Vol.II mixtape - drops July 10th on Bastard Jazz Records. This project is all about going back to my roots: pulling out obscure vinyl from my global collection, then lovingly chopping, remixing and editing them into new tracks with a contemporary edge and classic Captain Planet touch. All 9 edits have been blended, along with other audio samples and field recordings, into a 45min mix, which will be printed to cassette tapes like my earliest mixes from the late 90's. Similar to Mystery Trip Vol.I, which was listed in Sasha Frere-Jones "Best Music Of 2012", Vol.II leads you on a psychedelic journey to destinations around the world, where you are drawn out of your sonic comfort zone via a soundtrack that bridges styles of music from Asia and Africa to South America, The Caribbean and beyond.

Courtesy of Analog Africa, all original tracks taken from the “Angola Soundtrack” compilation series. Includes 2 that have never been aired and one is a vinyl exclusive. 

From St Lucia to Jamaica to Ghana to Colombia, London born duo The Busy Twist have travelled the globe to create their dance floor killing productions. 

Their debut EP 'Friday Night' combines these cultures, respectfully crossing sound boundaries and joining the dots between Afro House, Kuduro, Latin and Uk Bass. 

The London Luanda Remix Series is the result of digging into 1970's popular music in Angola. Acclaimed by BBC radio host Annie Mac, and supported by the likes of Jillionaire, Buraka Som Sistema or Toddla T, some of these remixes are already being played throughout clubs and parties all over the world, but were never officially released. 

The release of these classic tribal reworks was eventually made possible thanks to the group’s recent trips to Colombia, where they worked alongside Systema Solar, Ghetto Kumbé, Nidia Gongora and Palenque Records, for an impressive variety of original productions, collaborations and remixes. 

In alliance with Colombia-based label Galletas Calientes Records, one of these fruitful encounters, the London Luanda Remix Series was finally materialised.
