matasuna records presents another latin highlight

what initially started as idea for a dj-duo project quickly turned into a new production outlet for german producer david hanke. he is well known for his northern jazz, funk and afrofunk productions under various monikers ever since his first release back in 2008. the most recognized surely is his renegades of jazz-alias.
after starting to fully embrace the afrofunk vibe with his 2016-released renegades of jazz album moyo wangu as well as two dem juju poets singles in the same year it’s now about time to release “liberated thoughts” - the longplay debut for dem juju poets.
having spent an influential part of his childhood in arusha, tanzania and engrained the music of east africa, his sound combines these influences with modern, more club-orientated electronic afrofunk productions which defines the core sound of dem juju poets.
with “liberated thoughts” hanke refines his afrofunk vision for 2017 informed by his experience as a dj in venues all over europe which naturally led to a more floor functional production approach.

after releasing the first single voodoo jazz end of 2016 the journey of dem juju poets keeps on with barabara, the first single taken off their forthcoming album liberated thoughts out due early 2017 on matasuna records. david hanke aka renegades of jazz, brainchild behind dem juju poets, keeps on with his distinctive afro sound and delivers a great 45 in various styles. as the renegades of jazz journey will take a step away from afrofunk music, dem juju poets will be now the main outfit for hanke to release more afro driven music in the future. barabara is a heavy piece of dancefloor afrojazz goodness, decent horn sections, tough drums and rich percussions combined with vintage vocals. people s republic is a organ and flute driven afrosoul tune with a heavy brass riff, thriving percussions and flute solos galore.

voodoocuts kicks off the a-side with kelja , a raw 70s afro-funk bomb from the ivory coast. the american-funk inspired tune features a funky bassline & killer organ vibe, mingled with a dirty, raw saxophone line and james brown influenced vocals. voodoocuts rework turns the track into a serious dancefloor banger! in the tortoise loop voodoocuts blends an infectious groove with pounding drum breaks and hypnotic vocals. a hot afro-latin joint not to be missed! on the flip soulbrigada takes things to a disco tip. hustleman is a stunning afrofunk & disco gem from west africa. the second track madera is an afro-disco gem with a compelling cape verdean groove. soulbrigada rearranged the tracks, added drums, samples and effects building a brigde between past and present - without ever losing its original organic vibe. two essential tunes for your record bag!
