Son Palenque nunca duerme !! y siempre esta trayendo algo nuevoooo
los pioneros de Palenque !!! siempre con nuevos extractos. 

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!

Little bootleg re-work of one of my favorite's by Seu Jorge. Perhaps the funkiest song ever written about silicone.

Remix by @IZem

It´s been a bit more than four months since Daniel Haaksman´s "African Fabrics" album has been released and it has become a success story. "African Fabrics" was nominated for a German Music Critic prize, was praised on diverse leading media outlets such as SPIN, NPR, XLR8R, Der Spiegel, NZZ, Songlines Magazine and Goethe Institute Podcast amongst others and has been played by countless club and radio DJs around the world. 

The accompanying single releases "Sabado", "Rename The Streets" and "Akabongi" received remix treatments, now the other tracks of the albums have been reworked and the result is "African Fabrics Remixes", which presents a trans world cast of amazing remixers. 

First off, is South African Mo Laudi with an Afro house rendering of "Akabongi". It´s followed by three remixes featuring the hot new Lisbon sound 2Pekes, a member of the infamous DZC Deejays crew remixed "Sembène" in Euro kuduro fashion, whereas Izem put "Kaggua" ft. Tshila on a broken beat turf. Man of the moment Dotorado, also hailing from Lisbon, is featured with his version of "Rename The Streets". UK´s freestyle bass dons LV revisit "Sabado" with a London carnival mood. Then there´s São Paulo´s hot new beat talent Bad $ista who samba-funked up "Black Coffee" ft. Dama Do Bling. Another Lisbon remix contribution is by legendary Portuguese kuduro don DJ NK remaking "Xinguila" ft. Throes + The Shine in a raved up kuduro smasher. Swedish bass maestro Dance, Kill, Move tamed the original footwork monster "Aho" to a tarraxo influenced half timer. Probably the heaviest remix on "African Fabrics Remixes" is by São Paulo´s ambassador of low end schlepp beats, Cybass, who put "Afrika" ft. Tony Amado ft. Alcinda Gueraneh into madness territories. Durban´s Gqom kingpins Rudeboyz added a weighty groove to the Mbira infused "Raindrops" track, turning it into a club ready track. And finally, New Zealands Afro popster Weird Together remade "Querido" ft. Bulldozer with a UK funky inspired mood. 

And there you have it, "African Fabrics Remixes", featuring eleven diverse and club-friendly remixes that will put "African Fabrics" in further and more varied contexts. Play it out!

Populous is Andrea Mangia, a producer hailing from Lecce, a small city on the heel of Italy's boot. In 2003, he made his first jaunt into the music world with the album Quipo (via Morr Music). In 2005 he released Queue For Love, influenced by his reggae/hip-hop-infused surroundings (Lecce is known as Italy's Jamaica, as reggae and dancehall are extremely popular there) and in 2008 he released Drawn in Basic. Both albums were widely received by international critics, earning him a spot on the global music map. He became known for the way he seamlessly blends digital sounds with the analog warmth of soul/hip-hop/whatever else he's influenced by at the time.

Azulejos, his forthcoming release, has a South American tinge to it (and is even partly in Spanish). He moved to Lisbon, Portugal to start work on the album bringing with him only a laptop, a small MIDI keyboard, and a microphone. "Lisbon became both my studio and my muse," he says. He wandered the city collecting field recordings— from trams to people singing on street corners. He sifted through flea markets for records to use for sampling (exclusively Portuguese and South American). Populous describes Lisbon as a city 'halfway between South American soul and European modernity, African in some aspects, and dramatically melancholic." He channeled these poignant fusions into Azulejos, named for the typical tiled facades in Portugal— simultaneously bright and decaying. The album features collaborations with Nina Miranda of Smoke City and Ela Minus, among others. It's a love letter to Lisbon, and a dreamy quilt of sounds he both grew up with and heard for the first time during his influential stay in Portugal.

I had the beat only: drums, percussion sounds and breaks, and then added a bit of the synth bass to it. I liked the afro-beatish kind of raw sound of those elements and then Milton Gulli of Cacique '97 (@cacique97) - Portugal's leading afro-beat band - came to my mind. I sent him the beat to Maputo, where he now lives, and a few weeks later I was surprised by how much love he put back into his contribution: all the guitars, bass line and synths were played and recorded over the original beat. All I did afterwards was find the perfect vocal sample to complement Milton's input. I've been playing this track live with my Meu Kamba collective and it's a real banger.

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.
