‘Esigia’ has been years in the making and the outcome definitely justifies the wait.

Back in the start of 2016, the trio (Djuma Soundsystem, Yann Coppier, & King Ayisoba) made quite a ruckus, bringing a new sound out of Africa, to the global scene. A raw Afro beat, mixed with synths and Ghanaian vocals.

On ‘Esigia,’ Djuma Soundsystem envisioned blending the distinct sounds of the Ghanaian Kologo, a home made two string instrument, with classic Chicago house. He invited one of Ghana’s foremost Kologo talents, King Ayisoba, and his band for a jam, and the result was vocal calls and responses that effortlessly intertwine with deep house synth lines and King’s Kologo, bridging organic percussion with electronic manipulation.

The remix pack is second to none, kicking off with Swiss maestro Kellerkind’s smooth deep approach, adding his own signature groove. Kintar transports the track to another realm, introducing playful pianos and guitars to dance atop of a deep beat, taking all listeners on a surprising turn in a jazzy break. Finally, the label’s in-house talent Ruskar, Brazil’s youngest Afro house sensation, with his distinctive sound that never fails to ignite the dancefloor.

You can now listen to the full premiere of Kellerkind’s ‘Esigia’ Remix, exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
