Mzee's follow up to the smash hit Mahwuelele brings serious deep afro vibes for the dance floor

We proudly present a tribute to South African music legend Kampi Moto, who joined Ocha Record's Mzee for one of his final recordings before his passing and created the song Umoja with Mzee. We enlisted the help of some of the leaders of the new school to do their magic on the remix tip and we were not dissapointed. Culoe de Song and Boddhi Satva lead the charge with some very heavy beats, while Areo Manyelo, and Mushroom Boys bring the Afro-tech sound in a very big way that will move any dancefloor. The 2nd song on this release, The Flute Song is treated to an infectious dance floor makeover by Mzee labelmate Ezel. Brazilian Soul Crew also gives The Flute Song alot of love with their mix, while DJ Cecil simply abuses the track with appropriately titled Beatdown remix.

Here's what some of our favorite DJs have to say:

Killing it hard with this song... 3 X Dope! - Jojo Flores (Gotsoul, Therapy)

The Culoe De Song Remix is Minimal, Moody.......HOTNESS!!!! - Santos (Yoruba Records)

This track is crazy! - DJ Manoo (Real Tone, Buzzin' Fly)

Another dope release for Ocha, i would definitely say the original and the Culoe de Song mixes are the ones for me. Got my full support - Stephen Rigmaiden (Connected Music)

Culoe de Song has his own sound, pure deep afro vibes, i feel this, it has to sound great in a big system, cant wait to feel the bass freq. An essential piece for all those who love real afro tracks - Kiko Navarro (Pacha, Spain)
