Issa Bagayogo is a Malian musician who sings and plays the kamele n'goni (a six-stringed West African instrument similar to a banjo). His sound combines the acoustic traditions of his region with elements of rock, funk, dub and electronica. The song Poye, from his latest album Mali Koura on Six Degrees Records is a fully-realized Afro-European dance hybrid - it's not just a fusion of two separate cultures, but rather a fully-evolved sound of a brand new culture. The first remix on the record is by Canadian musician, BBoy, DJ, and Remixer Eric Vani better known as Nujazz legend Rise Ashen. Eric's focus is on applying hi-fi knowhow to underground music. His take on Poye brings together deep house elements while embracing the instrumental and vocal stylings of the original. The result is a tasty burner with electro dub flavours. On the B-side, Tal M. Klein's remix clocks in at nearly nine minutes filled with afro disco, funk, hip hop, middle eastern percussion, and dub. This remix is truly the heaviest 105 BPM track you're likely to carry in your bag, the bassline is big and the beats are huge. A great fit for dub disco sets, hip hop transitions, and all things funky.

Tal rocks a cool funky strut, keeping the original's earthy qualities but now wrapped around a head bobbing solid groover. - Ursula 1000 Eighteenth Street Lounge

Super afrofunk for those hungry for the real thing! On the flip-side Tal's mix is a fresh ride into downbeat disco butter. - Sabo Sol Selectas
