Adam port feat. gigi - enoralehu epBerlin based Adam Port, part of the
Souvenir family and already a well known name in the capital, hands in
a wonderful, rejoiceful slice of future afro-house for liebe*detail
spezial. The tracks are based on the original “Enoralehu", performed by
Gigi (Ejigayehu Shibabaw), which has been released 1996 on her Album
“Gold & Wax” (produced by Bill Laswell).A: adam port feat. gigi -
enoralehu (club mix)Featuring the haunting, near-angelic vocals of
Ethiopian singer and songwriter Ejigayehu ‘Gigi’ Shibabaw, and a
colourful handful of original percussion borrowed from Gigi’s original,
‘Enoralehu’ is a richly woven treat for the senses. Uplifting,
beautiful and solemn, the track begins with a long snaking intro
capturing the unmistakable vocal hook, before unwinding and opening up
into a dramatic tale of modern ethnic-inspired club music.B1: adam port
feat. gigi - enoralehu (santé remix) Souvenir’s fellow upstart Santé
lends his remixing talents in a peak time percussive throwdown. Looping
and rolling through the lively sample material, Santé throws hands
sky-high with a straight up, high energy treatment that will work
wonders on the dancefloor. Keeping a rich collection of percussive,
atmospheric sounds at its base, the remix makes an excellent addition
to this diverse musical package.B2: adam port feat. gigi - enoralehu
(&me remix)Part owner of Keinemusik alongside Adam Port, &Me
also hands in a stunning remix which strips down and trips out
proceedings with a low swung, deeper pitched interpretation. Thick
stabs, reduced percussion and spaced out synth washes wind around
pitched down elements of Gigi’s beautiful recording, keeping the spirit
of ‘Enoralehu’ alive whilst again building something completely new
around the chanting, African infused tones.
