1st 1975 Mombasa LP re-rubbed in 2007!!! Awesome reworks by leftfielders Dr Rubberfunk, Matt Flores, Curv a.o. ? 6 track VINYL ONLY First remixes and reworks from this classic and sought after afro funk LP! One of the best recordings in the genre: Pulsating african rhythms with funk bass and heavy brass sounds: Essential and ultra hard to find album with tons of true killer afro funk breaks, re-rubbed by freestyle producers 32 years after its first release on the legendary Spiegelei label. Sure killer set for freestyle DJs! Dr Rubberfunk aka producer, musician, radio presenter and DJ Simon Ward from London hits African ground with his razor sharp re-splice of “Massai", adding own drums, bass and guitar work to the menue. An outstanding rework, like only the Dr can do!! With a chopped and fanfare-like brass riff, heavy bongos, guitar licks and a steamy bass line, Dr Rubberfunk built a tune that could be added to a list of block party highlights or funk breaks classics like Spaghetti Head`s “Funky Axe” … but letting the melody drown towards a unique and spiritual “downbeat” ending. A tricky afro breaks intro, with special B-Boy bonus beats on the B-Side! Matt Flores of Combination and Compost fame touches the real Rastafari roots with the toasts of Glittershine aka Silver Brown! “Matz” is throwing reggae, dub and ghettotech into the mix, transforming the afro drums of “Massai” into an autonomous breakbeat anthem of its own, but with the special “Flores touch". This is freestyle and a new hymn to Jah! Emerging in Jamaica among peasant black people in the early 1930s, Rasta or the Rastafari movement is a religion and philosophy that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as God incarnate, whom they call Jah. It has spread throughout the world, largely through interest generated by reggae or roots dub music - that`s why the new spiritual lyrics of “Massai refixed” should set the people free! Bird aka producer & DJ Christian Kal.
