12" EP featuring music by London based producer and DJ
Koichi Sakai
, a well-known head in London music circles thanks to his role in co-founding the legendary Afrobeat Vibration nights alongside
Dele Sosimi
. In collaboration with Ghanaian percussionist and singer
Afla Sackey
(
Afrik Bawantu
), this project sees Koichi mixing African percussion instruments and themes with synths and drum machines. The A Side features the dancefloor workout "Jingo", a fresh take on
Babatunde Olatunji
's original featuring vocals and percussion by Afla Sackey and guitar by
Mao Yamada
, with Koichi on synths and drum machine. On the B Side, "Wono", the title track from Koichi's debut LP, gets the remix treatment by
Osunlade
who takes Afla's lead vocals and a few percussion elements and turns it into a stripped-down, hypnotic dancefloor monster. On the second B Side track, Venezuela producer
Pocz
, aka
Carlos Mayoral
, creates a funked-up, Latinized version of the original featuring a brand new bassline and jazzy synths. This EP comes as a lead up to Koichi's first LP,
Wono
, to be released towards the end of 2019.
