Connect Four is already back after the big success with James Teej (feat. Cassy remix) earlier this summer, and we are more than sure, that this new release will not disappoint you in any way.
We give you: Liapin (from Afrilounge) featuring 1 amazing remix from Agnès and an equally amazing edit from Afrilounge!
Here at Connect Four HQ we are more than happy to welcome Richard Rotfuß aka Richard Liapin to our roster of artists. Richard is surely no newcomer to the scene of electronic music. In 2002 he started the Afrilounge moniker together with Eduard Hartter & Markus Liefke. They have released their fantastic music on labels like Get Physical, Poker Flat, Connaisseur & 8Bit plus a few others.
In early 2008, Richard also started his own label; Genowefa Recordings.
On this release we present to you the track ‘Redskin’ in 3 different versions.
Redskin:
First up is the original from Liapin. A great house track with vocal chanting, congos’n’bongos and what else you need to get a fantastic house trip. A great drive and those lovely strings make sure you keep dancing and dancing.
Redskin (Agnès Remix):
Swiss based super producer Agnès has turned his take on the original track into a super oldschool house/techhouse journey. A superb remix, candidate for one of the best remixes this year in our book!
Redskin (Afrilounge’s Lovely String Edit):
And finally Afrilounge put their signature string sounds on overdose on their edit of the original track! It’s time to daydream again baby!
