The Ivory Coast Soul compilations revisited by the best international DJs from the Afro-Soul and Tropical-Funk scene. A really mind-bending collection of Ivorian grooves recorded in the 70‘s in Abidjan, edited by few of the best contemporary producers.
DJ Vas (France), DJ The Reflex (France), Mop Mop (Germany), Alma Negra (Switzerland), Umoja (Netherland) add their own flavors with massive new funk mixes, whilst cutting with dexterous percussive textures on the original versions. They bridge the gap between the new and the old, connect the dots and bring a new life on these rare old tracks.
From Funk, to Disco, to Soukous, to traditional Ivorian Soul music of the “maquis” from Abidjan, here’s a new collection of vintage horn-flanked tunes mixed with future club sounds!
A quintet of wonderful mixes and remixes which blend original Afro funk instrumentation with contemporary dancefloor style.
The Ivory Coast Soul Edits are officially licensed!
Mop Mop’s concert at BIRD in Rotterdam on February 15, 2014 has been recorded by the “Vrije Geluiden” show (Radio 6) to be broadcasted on Dutch National Radio.

Super-Sonic Jazz was the first album to be released on El Saturn Records, the label run by Sun Ra and his business partner Alton Abraham. Set up in 1955, they released their first singles, including a doo-wop group The Cosmic Rays and the Arkestra’s Saturn, at the beginning of 1956, and had recorded the whole of their first album by the end of the year, to be released in March 1957. El Saturn is now considered, along with Charles Mingus and Max Roach’s Debut label and Harry Partch’s Gate 5 label, “one of the very first and most active artist-owned record labels.” Often pressed in editions of 75 — sometimes as few as 20 were made for specific concerts — the records would be manufactured using local black businesses, and often put together in Abraham’s own home.

Remixes through a range of genres on Mop Mop’ highly celebrated album Isle Of Magic It seems pretty obvious that a masterpiece like this must go to a remix album at some point. In 2013 the Italian bastard funk jazz band Mop Mop had a success on their hands with “Isle of Magic”, and it was recognised as one of the best and most innovative funk albums in many countries. The song performed by Fred Wesley and Anthony Joseph also managed to make it to number one of the best dance floor jazz tracks for the year. While Mop Mop has gone from live show to live show, they handed their masterpiece over to great producers of eclectic music and let them do as they wanted. The result: 15 tracks ranging form dub step (Clap! Clap!‘s version of “Let I Go“) to cosmic disco (iZem’s interpretation of “Kamakumaba“) and slow Chicago house (SoulParlor‘s hands on “Heritage“) through to dubbed reggae (Nostalgia 77 on “Run Around“). “Isle Of Magic – Remixed“ is the most logical and extremely recommendable next step to 2013.
