Out today as ZIQ331 is John Wizards’ Lusaka By Night EP on the legendary Planet Mu imprint.

The first single, Lukasa By Night, is a beautiful mix of the traditional and the futuristic, as Emmanuel Nzaramba’s pitch-corrected vocals act intone in the Kinyarwandan language about the children of Africa coming together over the lightest of highlife guitar riffs and subtle pools of echoing synth and warping bass. I Is follows, sketching out a lazy melody of stumbling, wobbly keys, between snapping rhythms.

The release then turns to Ital Tek’s techno remix of album track Tet Lek Schrempf, looping up the original’s lush conch shell melody and bent synths into a joyous rush. Continuing on the remix tradition, LV take Lusaka by Night and turn it into a warped slow jam, reversing and punching out elements of the melody over tough subs, letting the pitch corrected melody spill out over the drums. Yet another solid release from the label.
