Edits + Remixes

I just saw this man perform live for my first concert in over 2 years and he opened with this original track. It was a beautiful show. I had to go home afterwards and put my spin on it. I hope you like!

James Blake - Famous Last Words (NewLife Remix)

Took the first part of the song and made it just a little more club bangerish.

Bad Bunny El Apagon (NewLife Remix) SNIPPET

A baile flip of a sweet and somber synth tune with skittering, almost ASMR-like microbeats celebrating love and intimacy.

DJ NewLife - Chi Mpempe

I've loved this tune for a while. According to the notes on the back of the album cover the song is about the appeal of an old fisherman to Iemanjá, the goddess of the sea, for the safety of his son.

Respect to Emanative for completely dialing this one in. I love the track but gave it a little intro fix and a slight nudge for the floor groovers...

Emanative - Makondi (NewLife DJ Edit)

J Dilla - Foda A Policia (NewLife Edit)

I found this on vinyl while I was out digging with Mano and touched it up a little to play out during opening/chill sets. Free download.

Just a little rearrangement and touch I put on it for Carnaval. Enjoy.

Lilison Di Kinara - Luciana / Bambatulu (NewLife Edit)

Another dirty edit I did for my own personal global roots sets that I'm ready to share. Good enough for filthy sound systems; short and sweet.

Burnier e Cartier - Mirandolina (NewLife Dirty Edit)

Just toying with this to play out. It's un-mastered but good enough. Let me know if you're feeling it.

Kokolechel (NewLife Nature Edit)

I've always loved the hypnotic feel of Haitian Kompa so I used some Kompa drums, sped them up, added some pans, blah, blah, blah...dig it.
