Matasuna Records kicks off 2021 with another 7inch. This record features two remixes by German DJ and producer David Hanke aka Renegades Of Jazz, for Afro-latin Funk bands Brownout and Jungle Fire.
Brownout’s remix was first released in 2013 via Paris DJs on a very limited run of 45s and quickly became very sought after. By painstakingly cutting every instrument’s individual notes, increasing the tempo and adding in a punchy breakbeat at the end, David turned Flaximus into an up-tempo dancefloor hit.
Jungle FIre’s song Comencemos that appears on the B side is a cover version of Fela Ransome-Kuti’s song Let’s Start.David added some more Afrofunk elements to the Jungle Fire version and builds a bridge to the original Fela version with the additional elements. The Jungle Fire remix is previously unreleased and will be available on vinyl for the first time.
Another killer 7″ for the dancefloor! Renegades Of Jazz delivers the goodies and makes it hard to choose a favorite! Excellent choice of tracks- many thanks!
Two nice reworks by Renegades Of Jazz… The Brownout Edit is my fave.
Two great tracks and first class remixes from Renegades Of Jazz
Great to see them reissued. Jungle Fire were on the button with their version of Commencemos (Fela Kuti’s Lets Start) and hot remixes from Renegades of Jazz.
