In "Afrika Wo-Man", UPZ pays tribute to the African continent from which it draws a lot of its inspiration. Lyrics in praise of Africa are delivered by Theo Lawson (Ghana) with additional female chanting from Hillary Seargant (Trinidad/Tobago).

The original mix is filled with afro-influenced drums, South African style afro-high life guitar and a wikked call and response sax & organ solo's. The UPZ remix toughens the mix for the dancefloor, with a straight 4/4 house beat with driving hi-hats and funky guitar. The African Marimba and cuica adds a nu flava to the mix and is intertwined with stabbing strings.

Danny Clark strips down all the original elements and re-arranges the track for a more peak time audience. Euan Mitchell (Soultonic) provides another twist with a superb reworking of this class track.

Feedback welcome :)
