Berlin DJ and production hero Acid Pauli conjures up a summer hit here with 'Dançá Dançá T'Manchê' (Dance Dance Until The Break Of Day)!
What we know of the Cape Verdi islands is limited to the annual jazz festival and Cesária Évora's hit 'Angola' as remixed by Carl Craig and Pepe Bradock 20 odd years ago. To that short list we can now we can add, Val Xalino's 'Dançá Dançá T'Manchê' that was self-released in 1986.
Val was apparently a singer, guitarist, percussionist, ukulele player and you'll be hard pressed to find any of his albums from the 1980s. Whilst in sharp contrast, over the past 20 years, Martin Gretschmann (aka Acid Pauli) has been on a multitude of labels with his own electronic music and countless remixes.
These version of 'Dançá Dançá T'Manchê'; Acid Pauli's Fullmix, Autowah Dub and Sublib Dub keep the 80s Island groove in a pop-disco way (think Ottawan more than Autowah) and the dubs twist and psych it out; not quite as tropicalia 'out there' as the artwork, but pretty close!
The smart money is on at least one of these remixes witll be on this months' "Best Of" Colour & Pitch Sessions mixtape with Sumsuch but I wouldn't wait, the 'welcome' is remixed.
