DJ, producer and Kung-Fu teacher Alex Doering turns in a tribal and techy version of ‘Beautiful Africa’, letting the vocals ride over a rock-solid rhythm section.

Closing out the package, Khaaron delivers an elegant, smooth and slightly melancholic take on ‘Beautiful Africa’, perfect for those reflective moments.

Karol XVII & MB Valence feat Keely Timlin – Bang Bang (Remixes) (Get Physical Music)

Get Physical revisits Karol XVII & MB Valence’s ‘Bang Bang’ hit with a pair of fresh new remixes from Nick Curly and Jori Hulkkonen.

The original ‘Bang Bang’ Back to 2013 Mix dropped early in the year and was another of the Polish pair’s well designed, highly functional but also brilliantly charming grooves. First up to remix is Nick Curly, one of the most constant tech house players of the last 15 years. The 8Bit boss fomented his own famous Mannheim sound from his home in Germany and now shows he is still right at the sharp end. His mix sits the drums perfectly in the bass for a nice dubbed-out groove. Warm chords are smeared across the track next to tumbling toms and alluring female vocal sounds. They bring a sense of soul to this most cool of grooves.

Jori Hulkkonen is a hugely prolific Finnish artist who has served up plenty of adventurous and synth-heavy techno and dub albums on labels like My Favourite Robot. He brings his fine studio know-how to this remix which is infinitely deep and widescreen. The angelic vocals float in the air above pillowy synths and a slick house beat which together lock you into a mindful state.

The still-fresh original ‘Bang Bang’ (Back to 2013 Mix) is also included once more and is sure, along with the new remixes, to be heard on the world’s finest dance floors this summer.
