Welcome To This World (Remixes) (ltd 250copies)

Kalita are excited to unveil the first ever reissue of one of – if not the – strongest South African kwaito/bubblegum albums in existence, Jivaro’s 1989 masterpiece ‘Saturday Fever’.Originally released on Maurice Horwitz’s Music Team label at the turn of the decade, the album features various heavy hitting tracks that perfectly encapsulate the post-boogie/proto-house movement that had taken over the country’s airwaves and clubs at the time.Sourced from the original analogue master tapes, this definitive release by Kalita is a truly essential piece of musical history and one sure to set any discerning dance floor on fire.

Hozan Yamamoto here at Mr Bongo! A legend of Japanese jazz, he is rightly regarded as a true master and was recognised as a "living national treasure" by the Japanese government in 2002. Over five decades he pushed the genre into new directions, absorbing fusion, funk, spiritual jazz and many other sounds, resulting in a discography studded with gems of rare beauty. Exploring his back catalogue has taken us on an engrossing journey that now sees us reissuing another work from this ground-breaking musician.

This new one is a second collection of bass cuts that he pulls together from some of the biggest name in the global scene, 16 years after the first volume. It combines plenty of analogue elements with crisp digital grooves to hypnotic effect with plenty of infusions from the world of reggae and its early roots scene. It tracks the evolution of bass across the ages once more with gems from African Head Charge, Simm, 100th Monkey and Gaudi himself
