Originally released on the Yellorange imprint, YO – 1004 "Circles" Mustafa featuring Natalia was pure afro-electro House a decade before its time! Receiving a face lift from the masterful DJ/producer, Boddhi Satva of Offering Recordings, this brand new remix is making the electronic dance world remember how timeless this tune was then and with Boddhi’s unique brand of "afro tech funk" fervor is a testament to its legacy today!
Included here are 6 slamming remixes here to heat up any DJ’s dance floor that programs Afro-Tech house. Calling out to the ancestors is Boddhi’s Ancestral Soul Mix. The driving electro percussions dives head first into the power of Natalia’s raw, un-inhibited vocal prowess. Reminiscent of a young Billie Holiday on top of a modern electro groove, she wails that haunting line, "needing something more, decadent but pure, I will call you master, get to this much faster" still sends chills up the spine as the grit of Boddhi’s soulful tech sounds digs into the soul. The keyboard stabs on the climax leaves the African plains briefly and touches on a more classic Chicago via NY House however never wavering from its original intent. Deep, dark, decadent but divine. Boddhi’s Ancestral Dub included.
What a dance floor workout from Tony Loreto & Jacko aka TJ Inc on the Vocal Mix! A pronounced twangy bassline, and plucked, jerky key sounds on top of meaty percussions and kick is an instantaneous floor grabber. That funky bass electro twang rides in sync with the lyric melody. Sweet organs and another set of warm keys come in and drape the chorus. Chugga-chugga percussions and sing-song keys dominate the break. Overall, this is steady, pounding and hypnotic mix. TJ Inc Dubland and the TJ Inc Dubstrumental mix is raw tech house at its best―rough, ballsy & aggressive!
