In 2008 Mali duo Amadou & Mariam released their eight full length entitled, “Welcome to Mali”. From that release came, “Sabali” and the latest remixer to tackle this track is Vitallic who sets the single into darker and more driving territory.
Dntel – Rather Be With You (ft. Reverb Junkie)
Oh, oh, oh, love the dark vibe on this and the electronic buzz in the intro. So this was spawned on indabamusic.com as a contest entry for Jimmy Tamborello of Postal Service fame. Reverb Junkie is the solo venture from My Dear Disco lead singer Michelle Chamue.
By the way, let this track breath for the first 40 seconds till Michelle’s voice kicks in – shear bliss.
Sakaris – In a Box
From Denmark, in particular the Faroe Islands, comes Sakaris with his uniquely pop confection of shimmery vocals and fun clap along rhythms.
