Sabrina Malheiros - Opará (Ashley Beedle's Afrikanz On Mars Remixes) [2015]

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 on the original: 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.
