To our delight, African funk master Jagger Botchway has been busy in the studio, getting to work on a rare soca and highlife record with a number of musicians he collaborated with from various points of his career. Cultures of Soul have striven to find a host of relevant remixers to match up to Jagger’s achivements. These names, already schooled in the colourful sounds of Afro-funk, feature Berlin’s Africaine 808, Switzerland’s Alma Negra, New York’s Names You Can Trust and Manchester’s Ruf Dug – whose “Tight Disco Dub” of “Moko Le Dzen” trumps the rest as our favourite. Heavily led by a percussive backbone, the rework takes us on an intercontinental journey of instruments, between African drumming patterns and a conventional Western drum kit. This is further invigorated by a reverb-rich trumpet line and a synth line peppered by chordal stabs throughout. A surefire way to ensure a workout on any dancefloor.

Dropping on 18th March, you can catch the pre-order here now.
