Midnight Bliss

The third and last twelve inch of the Still Living In Slavery Remixes series. The first side contains Kuniyuki Takashi’s remix of ‘ Dounougnan Magni’. He enriches the track with lively percussion and softens the somewhat sparse and minimalistic style of the original. A perfect backing for Hamed Sosso’s story about live,death and the pursuit of happiness. The flipside contains the last chapter of the epic ‘Enchained Tribe’. A deep glowing track with a haunting vocal and progressing drums that literally break free in the middle. Kuniyuki Takashi’s flute provides additional athmosphere and keeps the track moving into a lush (and almost beatless) outro. Next is ‘Break Your Chains And Return To Botswana’. Eight and a half minute of slow paced african percussion - and an accompanying chant that fades in and out of the mix.It’s all about beats, beats, beats - Mr Raoul K’s talent in arrangement and beat programming is very much on display and delivers a real groover without any bassline, Makes you shake your… whatever you want to shake. Enjoy.
