Shikor Shikor (Jamz Supernova & Sam Interface Remix) by Raz & Afla

Raz Olsher and Afla Sackey converge worlds through their dynamic fusion of electronic and traditional African rhythms, forging a path that is as bold as it is innovative. Rooted in their deep-seated passion for music and cultural exploration, they seamlessly blend their distinct musical backgrounds to create a unique sonic landscape that captivates audiences worldwide.

Raz Olsher is a visionary producer and composer known for his boundary-pushing electronic soundscapes, bringing his expertise in blending diverse musical elements to the duo. His meticulous attention to detail and penchant for experimentation form the foundation upon which Raz & Afla's sound thrives.

Already part of the Wah Wah 45s family with his band Afrik Bawantu, Afla Sackey is an esteemed percussionist and vocalist with roots tracing back to Ghana. He infuses the duo's music with rich traditional African rhythms and melodies. Afla's virtuosity on percussion instruments and his soulful vocals add a visceral, organic dimension to their compositions, creating a mesmerising auditory experience that transcends cultural boundaries.

Together, Raz & Afla defy genre limitations, seamlessly weaving together electronic beats, Afrobeat grooves, and intricate percussive textures. Their music resonates with a deep sense of cultural authenticity and a forward-thinking approach that pushes the boundaries of contemporary music. Shikor Shikor was a standout single from the "Echoes Of Resistance" LP.

In its original form, it’s an uplifting, percussive piece, with Afla’s vocals echoing his intricate drum work and working in tandem with Raz’s beats and synths to tell of the pair’s admiration and love of women and the female form. Following on from outstanding remixes for Mr Bongo and Tru Thoughts recordings, musical partners Jamz Supernova and Sam Interface come together to take Shikor Shikor to more sonorous dance floor territories.

This was an enjoyable remix to work on. Sam & I came at it with our love of UK club music. We wanted to rough up a bit and contrast the fun lyrics with a gritty bassline. I love watching how the track has been received on the dancefloor and can't wait to see how it spreads this summer.
