Rafael Moraes (Nomumbah, Brazil) "Thanks for the music! Nice deep/afroo track, the original and dub are really nice. To be played on Nomumbah Radio Show and DJ Gigs!"
Mike Fossati (SpiritOfHouse, CH) " Dele Sosimi is a well respected afro beat artist whose "Identity" album was released in 2007 through Helico Records. The album's magnificent "Wahala" has been licensed to Raw Artistic Records who present a package of not to be missed remixes by Sosue. The 'Soulkomplex Main' mixes are on a laidback yet captivating tip that lets the original orchestration shine all over, with fierce drums and percussion added that create a resistless feel. The 'Soulkomplex Alternate' mixes intensify the vibe to the max with a spiced up groove that is absolutely hypnotic. The also included dub and beat versions are great DJ tools that give you plenty of options to play around."
John Warr (AfroLatina Music, AfroBase, UK) "Excellent.Loved Dele’s original versions and these are honourable dance editions that breathe further life to the recordings. Rhythmically the Main Mix is probably my personal favourite, but liked the prominence of the guitar over the keyboard towards the end on the alternate version. Will be playing both versions on the show from this week, and no doubt will slot in the Dub and Instrumentals too for good measure."
Terry Thompson (Code Red, Baltimore) "Definately another future classic. I can't wait to see the floor reaction."
Karengera Eric Soul (Afrogroov/Voxafrica, London) "Very very good, I love the sound of that...Very organic, warm, bouncy, loyal to the original with a subtle and just-right club feel to it....Very sweet n efficient..."
