Shikor Shikor (Jamz Supernova & Sam Interface Remix)

Wah Wah 45s are proud to present the first in a series of remixes reinterpreting and celebrating

last year's Echoes Of Resistance LP, the sophomore album from Afro-electronic duo Raz & Afla.

Raz Olsher and Afla Sackey converge worlds through their dynamic fusion of electronic and

traditional African rhythms, forging a path that is as bold as it is innovative. Rooted in their

deep-seated passion for music and cultural exploration, they seamlessly blend their distinct

musical backgrounds to create a unique sonic landscape that captivates audiences worldwide.

Raz Olsher is a visionary producer and composer known for his boundary-pushing electronic

soundscapes, bringing his expertise in blending diverse musical elements to the duo. His

meticulous attention to detail and penchant for experimentation form the foundation upon which

Raz & Afla's sound thrives.

Already part of the Wah Wah 45s family with his band Afrik Bawantu, Afla Sackey is an

esteemed percussionist and vocalist with roots tracing back to Ghana. He infuses the duo's music

with rich traditional African rhythms and melodies. Afla's virtuosity on percussion instruments and

his soulful vocals add a visceral, organic dimension to their compositions, creating a mesmerising

auditory experience that transcends cultural boundaries.

Together, Raz & Afla defy genre limitations, seamlessly weaving together electronic beats,

Afrobeat grooves, and intricate percussive textures. Their music resonates with a deep sense of

cultural authenticity and a forward-thinking approach that pushes the boundaries of contemporary

music.

Shikor Shikor was a standout single from the Echoes Of Resistance LP. In its original form it's an

uplifting, percussive piece, with Afla's vocals echoing his intricate drum work and working in

tandem with Raz's beats and synths to tell of the pair's admiration and love of women and the

female form. Following on from outstanding remixes for Mr Bongo and Tru Thoughts recordings,

musical partners Jamz Supernova and Sam Interface come together to take Shikor Shikor to

more sonorous dance floor territories, as the BBC 6 Music DJ explains:

"This was an enjoyable remix to work on. Sam & I came at it with our love of UK club music. We

wanted to rough up a bit and contrast the fun lyrics with a gritty bassline. I love watching how the

track has been received on the dancefloor and can't wait to see how it spreads this summer." Jamz Supernova

With a growing discography that includes critically acclaimed releases and collaborations with

musicians from around the globe, Raz & Afla continue to carve out their place in the international

music scene. Their electrifying live performances are celebrated for their energy and the profound

connection they forge with audiences, making every show a vibrant celebration of musical diversity

and unity.

Shikor Shikor (Jamz Supernova & Sam Interface Remix) will be part of the Remixes Of

Resistance album project, released August 1st 2025.
