We Taya (DMX Krew Remix) by Raz & Afla

Wah Wah 45s presents the "We Taya" (DMX Krew Remix), the second in a series of remixes reinterpreting and celebrating last year’s "Echoes Of Resistance" LP, the sophomore album from Afro-electronic duo 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.

"We Taya" is a standout single from the Echoes Of Resistance LP. In its original form, it’s an uplifting and politically conscious piece with some serious dance floor bounce. Following on from the anthemic and hugely popular remix of "Shikor Shikor" from BBC 6 Music’s Jamz Supernova and Sam Interface, renowned London based DJ, producer and engineer Edward Upton, better known as DMX Krew, tackles "We Taya" with aplomb and comes up with a life affirming Afro-disco/house monster replete with vibrant guitars and sparkling keys. 

It was great fun to let out my jazz-funk teenage self and play some Rhodes piano and a synth solo on this jam.
