We Taya (DMX Krew Remix)

Wah Wah 45s are proud to present the second 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.

We Taya is a standout single from the Echoes Of Resistance LP. In its original form it's an uplifting

and politically conscious piece with some serious dance floor bounce. Following on from the

anthemic and hugely popular remix of Shikor Shikor from BBC 6 Music's Jamz Supernova and

Sam Interface, renowned London based DJ, producer and engineer Edward Upton, better known

as DMX Krew, tackles We Taya with aplomb and comes up with a life affirming Afro-disco/house

monster replete with vibrant guitars and sparkling keys.

""It was great fun to let out my jazzfunk teenage self and play some Rhodes piano and a synth

solo on this jam." Edward Upton (DMX Krew)

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.

We Taya (DMX Krew Remix) will be part of the Remixes Of Resistance album project, released

August 1st 2025.
