LE TCHADIEN REPRISE
12 Inch 09.02.16
le tchadien, originally released in 2008 on mr raoul ks critically acclaimed 12inch himalaya, gets the doublek (mr raoul k & kaito) treatment. while the original track was a rather short and lush piece of afro-funk fuelled house, the reprise explores some whole new territories. soon after the relaxing intro the track takes a sharp turn that leads listeners and dancers into foggy darkness. but instead losing itself and all hope, doublek show that there is light and hope even behind the darkest shadows. its all about keeping your composure and keeping your head up. as a special gift for the creative djs out there, the flipside contains a beatless reprise, ready to be blended with your favorite beats. enjoy your vinyl.

12 Inch 15.07.15
two mixes of mr raoul ks opus break your chains and return to botswana. kaito takes a step back and uses parts of mr raoul ks tricky beats as a rock solid base to build his soundscapes on. his mix is like the soundtrack to a movie dealing with alienated individuals who try to escape imprisonment through an endless desert.

LE KARANTKATRIEME PEUL REMIXES
12 Inch 13.09.11
mr raoul k and baobab secret take the next step and put out new remixes of >le karantkatrieme peul<. prisme are a belgian duo (nicolas pepinster and yves theys) who started to produce their own material in 2010. they liked the title track so much that they remixed it and sent the result to mr raoul k who instantly fell in love with the melodic and laid back approach they took on it. this lush piece makes a perfect entry into a long night out, promising that every piece will fall into place. the other production crew featured on this release are the iklawa brothers (mzwandile nxasana and sandile magwaza) who run their own label in durban, south africa. they are big fans of mr raoul ks work and have been dropping his tunes in their sets on a regular basis. their remix is a dark, afrobeat driven tune that takes the listener on a long trip into a gloomy world full of surprising musical twists, dramatic changes of mood and impressing string sounds. the last remix is done by mr raoul k himself. he shows a new side of his musical skills. resulting in an epic track that seems to dance on tiptoes around a giant beast. one small step. hesitate. check carefully what happens. do not disturb. just watch in astonishment how it slowly awakes and stretches out to its full glory. a track that is full of hope, but reminds us to keep our feet to the ground to provide a solid stand.

MYSTIC THINGS FEAT LOPAZZ
12 Inch 02.02.10
sometimes a loop is more than a loop. patterns that appear repetitive arent that repetitive if you take a close listen. adding lopazzs voice to this epic track is the ingredient that injects that next level of energy, the mystic touch, the it. that voice seems to dance with and around the music. and with every twist, the listener is drawn deeper into mr raoul ks world build of warm bass and cautious beats. a place in which someone would easily get lost if there wasnt the voice to lead him throughout the long journey...

MOMENT PSYCHEDELIK
12 Inch 28.09.09
moment psychedelik - its all said in the title, actually. it is easy to get lost in all those layers of mesmerizing sounds, swirling around you like bubbles sparkling out of a well shaken bottle. just before you lose it all, the kickdrum comes in to lead you to a winding path... upon glistering plains, through some dry land into a multicoloured jungle, populated with all kinds of textures and sounds. enter the next level - like the title suggests. the flipside utilises a more pronounced guide: mr talking drum himself will show you how to find the clearing of enlightenment where your heart gets filled with joy and your feet cant stop dancing. supported by lopazz, ame, tobi neumann.
