Born out of Djuma Soundsystem’s many dance gatherings spread over locations all over the globe, IZIKI sees the world for the first time with the very first release. The debut EP off the label titled ‘He Lele’ kicks us off with an original by the founder himself, as well two stunning reinterpretations by Aero Manyelo & Animal Trainer.

Staying true to his sound, Djuma Soundsystem takes the listener on a journey into the deep jungle where it all began. Where the dancefloor meets fireside tribal rituals, he has delivered a unique and thoughtfully executed piece which electrifies and compels only the wildest and free forms of expression.

Next up, we have South African based artist Aero Manyelo who’s made his mark with a number of releases on some of Europe’s finest labels such as Get Physical Music, Moblack Records, and Voltaire Music as well as having support by the likes of Dixon, Damian Lazarus and Diplo on some of his records. For his remix, he has delivered an Electronic Symphony – a consistent driving force that is the bassline, with indigenous chants and an underlying layer of strings and synths which awakens beauty within as only Aero Manyelo is able to achieve in his work. The listener can expect nothing less but to enjoy this both within the dark confines of the club as well as within their homes reminiscing of old memories thought to be forgotten.

Wrapping up the EP, we have the Swiss duo Animal Trainer who have solidified their space in electronic music having released on Stil Vor Talent, Katermukke, Off Recordings, Dantze as well as their own Hive Audio. This duo has shown a more minimalistic approach with their remix yet staying true to their craft of having an incredible balance between tight grooves and infectious hooks. Animal Trainer has shown us that music can surround you, grow with you and grow for you just as humans do. With a bassline providing ample backdrop for the floor together with rolling percussion and synths, they have delivered a rhythmic club record that stays true to the meaning of Iziki – The Rhythm.

You can now listen to the full premiere of Animal Trainer’s remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
