The globe-trotting Akwaaba imprint has announced the release of a new remix compilation, Perfect Loosers Present: Akwaaba Remixed (artwork above), gathering songs from the label’s discography and placing them in the hands of some up-and-coming producers. On this particular release, the label has assembled an impressive slate of artists to take songs from a few of the label’s West African artists (hailing from Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, and Gambia) and reinterpret them for the modern, progressive club culture. The diverse list of remixers includes Germany’s Hat+Hoodie (whose contribution to the comp we posted a few months back) and Schlachthofbronx, Canada’s Jokers of the Scene, Portugal’s Diamond Bass, and US beatmaker Chief Boima, amongst others. The compilation’s presenters, French trio Perfect Loosers, have put together a 20-plus-minute megamix with a few choice cuts from the record which you can stream/download below before the comp is released on March 9. You can check the LP’s complete tracklist down below as well.
