Umoja / Phil Moffa / Photay – Cult Edits 010

Super wicked edit 12 inch from the guys behind the label Multi Culti. This label offshoot takes an even more dance floor-focused approach to the left-field, psych-influenced, shamanistic world music sound that the main label is known for.

‘Bongo’ by Umoja is a thick, driving, minimal Afro-funk hybrid, whilst Phil Moffa’s ‘El Vato Gato’ takes us into more rolling, textural territory but still keeping that deep house feel.

On the flip side, ‘Golden River’ is a balearic-tinged groover, ‘Moongod’ chugs along at a hypotonic tempo, and ‘Eternal Flame’ brings up the energy with a beautiful Eastern vocal and electronic synth-woodwind lines.
Big tunes to worship the sun and mood gods to at the rave. Essential.
