Review: Throughout their decade-long career, Alma Negra has combined their love of disco and deep house with percussion, instrumentation and ideas excavated from African, Caribbean and tropical musical cultures. On this EP, they largely ditch the latter inspirations, instead delivering full-throttle revivalist disco sounds where the Basel-based band's organic instrumentation and vocals combine with colourful synth sounds and heady horns. The headline attraction is undoubtedly 'Madrugada', a warming and thickset, subtly deep house-influenced take on the turn-of-the-80s NYC downtown disco-not-disco sound. It comes backed with two revisions - an extra-percussive, dubbed-out Yuksek tweak and the band's own dub disco-goes-deep house 'Dub Mix' - and the riotous, party-starting brilliance of 'Funky Fever'.

Review: After many years spent performing gigs with their live ensemble, Alma Negra has finally decided to record and ready a release that showcases the band's dynamic brand of cross-cultural musical fusion. The Swiss combo first adds a tropical twist to the Afrobeat template on brilliant opener 'Mombassa to Lagos', before delivering something genuinely far-sighted and hard-to-pigeonhole: the mutant electronic bass, Tony Allen rhythms, deep house electronics and wayward Hammond solos of 'San Jon'. After a dash of Afro-Cuban dub-fusion - the inspired 'Taxi Radio' - we're treated to two club-friendly takes of 'San Jon'. First Mehmet Aslan goes all dark, cosmic and percussive on a wild (and brilliant) 'soca dub' take, before Alma Negra delivers a weightier, hazier and deeper 'Night Version' of their own. In a word: brilliant!

Review: For the latest excursion on their eponymous label, the Alma Negra crew is in full remix mode, in turn reworking tracks from contemporary Maloya combo Lindigo and lesser-known French Afro artist Salem Tradition. Their vocal and dub interpretations of the former's "Tany Be" are particularly special. While the dub is little more than a killer spaced-out percussion track with added delay-laden vocal and instrumental snippets, the "remix" is a near perfect fusion of woozy, spacey deep house and traditional maloya - all half-chanted vocals, snaking sax lines and warm bass. Those looking for heavy and druggy, kick-drum driven tribal Afro-house vibes should head straight for the remix of Salem Tradition's "Kabare", which is little more than loads of drums with an evocative vocal atop.

Review: Swiss crew Alma Negra have long been amongst the world's leading purveyors of electronic-acoustic, percussion-rich global fusion, so it's little surprise that their latest self-released EP is another top-notch release. The standout is undoubtedly title track 'Harambee', a sparkling and infectious chunk of Afro-disco brilliance full of Chic style guitar licks, bi-lingual vocals, groovy bass and ear-catching electric piano licks. French Afro-disco revivalists Violaa chip in with a late '70s sounding tropical disco take, too, adding in hazy horns to add extra authenticity. Elsewhere, 'When We Used To Dance' is a joyous chunk of revivalist, synth-heavy Afro-boogie and 'La Gozadera' is a high-octane chunk of Afro-Latin fusion propelled forwards by a hectic beat and lots of lush South American percussion.
