He transforms a key 1980s South African bubblegum/mbakanga “township pop” track into an alternative disco sound that hits the modern dance floor with immediate impact! Left-field dance maestro LIPELIS (Public Possession/Animals Dancing) delivers a masterful remix that faithfully preserves the soulful, expansive vocals and vibrant lead lines of the original track!
The latest release from 〈CWPT〉, helmed by the charismatic PALMS TRAX, is a heartfelt tribute to a landmark moment in South African music history! SPLASH, the flagship group of 〈GALLO RECORDS〉, released this track in 1990—as South Africa’s long-standing apartheid regime began to draw to a close— and now, LIPELIS—the prodigy of the alternative scene—has remixed the classic track “Eye For An Eye,” which features lyrics containing a heartfelt call for unity, into a modern dancefloor version while paying homage to its original message! Carefully preserving the soaring vocals and harmonies, the vibrant keyboards evoke a contemporary sense of euphoria, while the bubblegum percussion creates a hypnotic effect—showcasing a rare African left-field dance track that fully utilizes exceptional arrangement techniques to amplify the original’s distinctive character.
