Review: Afriquoi is a "live African dance music collective" who fuse "Congolese guitar and Gambian kora virtuosity with UK electronic music sensibilities". Some of the band's UK-based members are massive fans of UK garage legend Zed Bias, and earlier in the year got him to remix one of their cuts. One thing led to another and now we have this: a fresh collaboration between the band and the long-serving producer that fuses their styles to create something genuinely fresh, sun-kissed and life-affirming. Our pick of the pair is the EP-opening original mix, where glistening guitar motifs, layered lead vocals, fizzing synth chords and a funky-as-hell bass guitar part rise above loose-limbed UKG beats. It comes accompanied by a similarly inspired, vocal-free instrumental mix.
