The fourth release out of Frankie′s full length album "World Of What" features the tale of "Zumbi" the slave. Zumbi was one of the last leaders of the Quilombo dos Palmeres. A Quilombo was a refuge of runaway slaves. The warriors became experts in capoeira, a martial arts form developed in Brazil by African slaves in the 1500s, due to forced defence against repeated attacks by Portuguese colonial power. Zumbi is still honoured by Afro-Brazilians today who celebrate him as a hero and a symbol of freedom. The 808-version of the album track "Zumbi" offers an unreleased mix by Frankie himself. It features the Bahia based singer Macaco and Vienna's own Brazilian percussion wizard Fernando Paiva! To honor Zumbi′s tale, we're grateful for the contribution of two of Europe's finest producers. Berlin based Henrik Schwarz is a long-time aficionado of funk, house, disco, jazz, techno and soul. Exploring those musical forms and pushing the boundaries in between is his humble mission. His adventures into hi-fi are truly amazing and pure bliss. Once again he′s blessing a vinyl with an enormous remix-treatment! And last but not least…back by popular demand, Enrico Volcov! Milano's soulbrother with the midas touch, known for his outstanding production-work on projects such as Rima or his current Isoul8 on Sonar Kollektiv, drops

Zumbi

Slam Mode a.k.a. Angel Rodriguez and Michael Cole have made a gorgeous future piece of electronic dance music of the single's title track. Slam Mode has set out to create new paths with their own unique production style, with the intent of elevating themselves and their listeners to unlimited levels of consciousness. And that's what they underline here once again with this epic high tech jazz version of "Paradise Regained". 
Next you will discover a massive radio edit of "World Of What" by the fine Jeremy Newall. 
On the flip no other than Matthew "Bushwacka" B. of the duo Layo & Bushwacka fame drops a crispy, driving and bouncing remix of "World Of What". Matthew B. is resident DJ at the End, one of the best clubs in England and also releases there. He knows how to rip a place apart with his Dj-sets and the same applies to his productions. This opus of a remix is a sure shot under the usual suspects and hipster crowds around the globe. 

Paradise Regained

World Of What

The world of what is a soundtrack to the journey of music as it seeks out affinity. Across diasporas, despite language, the same whispers: wherever you are in time and space the rhythms remain the same. The melodies of this world of what call back along electronic ancestral lines, understanding is an infinite back catalogue of drum-skinned syllables, music is its indestructible constant in an equilibrium increasingly off balance. The world of what is a two pence coin for your mind's stylus. In the world of what African melancholy folds its metre into the sounds of Bahia, from this trans-continental tectonics, a bat signal in the shape of west London appears, dreams not so much broken as multiplied. The world of what is a cultural cross-pollination.
