OPARA (ASHLEY BEEDLE'S AFIKANZ ON MARS REMIXES)

TRACKLIST: A1. Opara (Afrikanz On Mars Vocal) A2. Opara (Afrikanz On Mars Galactic Flute Remix) A3. Opara (Afrikanz On Mars Instrumental) INFO Following the sold out Theo Parrish remix of Marcos Valle™s ˜1985™ back in April, the second release in Far Out™s Brazilika 12› series features a highlight from Sabrina Malheiros™ 2011 album ˜Dreaming™: the blissed-out, sun soaked samba classic ˜Opara™, which gets three scorching remixes from UK dance veteran Ashley Beedle. Currently celebrating a decade since the release of her critically acclaimed debut album ˜Equilibria™, Sabrina Malheiros has remained at the forefront of modern, soul-infused Brazilian music.Growing up in Rio, the daughter of Alex Malheiros, bassist of Jazz-funk pioneers Azymuth, Sabrina has taken the legacy of samba and bossa nova and forged her own forward-thinking path, taking with her all the style and substance of the early days. Produced under his Afrikanz On Marz moniker, Beedle™s remix brings all the right elements of the original to the fore. The result is three peak time excursions into percussive, soulful house on a stylish, cosmic Brazilian party tip, infused with rich, warm rhodes, synth and flute throughout. The vocal mix on the A side provides a spacious backdrop of twinkling keys and buoyant percussion to Malheiros™ gently floating strains. The other mixes offer similarly floor-focused variations: the aptly titled ˜Galactic Flute Remix™ on the flip pairs the titular wind instrument with a deeper groove that retains the loose-limbed appeal of the original, plus a bonus instrumental to boot. A sure fire heat bringer and certainly one of the most colourful dance 12›s we™ve heard this year. The Brazilika 12› series is the new vinyl home to the previously unreleased dance exclusives taken from the Spiritual South mix on CD2 of Far Out™s 20th anniversary double compilation, released in May 2015.
