DOWNLOAD: “Warm Heart of Africa (Alan Wilkis Remix)” – The Very Best ft. Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend)

I’m extremely pleased to present my latest remix for your listening enjoyment. The song is “Warm Heart of Africa” by the group, The Very Best, and it features Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend on vocals. The band has been called “best new music” on multiple occasions by Pitchfork, they are adored by Stereogum, and you can read about them… well… just about EVERYWHERE!

The group is a collaboration between Malawian-born singer, Esau Mwamwaya, and London electro-producers, Radioclit. Their debut album came out digitally on August 25th, and I’ve been listening to it non-stop. It’s an amazing fusion of traditional African melodies with modern electronic synths, beats, etc… and the results are eeeeeeeeeeLECTRIFYING!

And when I was offered the chance to remix for them, I of course leapt at the opportunity. It was a total blast to work on, and I’m thrilled to share it with you here! By all means, PLEASE share it with your friends and fellow-music-lovers. Spread that ish like hot butter on your breakfast toast!

Much Love,
A-town
