There is really no need to introduce Håkan Lidbo. Maybe you also heard about: Alpha The Male, Alvarez De Jesus, Big Spender, Bobby Trafalgar, Data 80, Dredger, Hakan Lidboux, Ho Shan-Ling Bu, Jell, Libido & The Thin Male Nude, Miss Bombay 1974, Monsoon, Royal Flesh, Rupert Pupkin, Stockholm Decadence, or the Vanisher…
He is one of the best and busiest musician and producers of electronic music in the world or even the universe! (check out his title “Planet Earth” (The Kiruna Broadcast Project) part of his project “Music For Alien Civilasations).
To mention only a few, Håkan has released countless brilliant records on labels such as Wrong Steps, Afro Art, Cartridge, Moody, Fragile, Loaded, Estereo, Worship, Paper, FiJi, Boo, April, Poker Flat, Mitek, Force Tracks, Compost, Shitkatapult, etc.
Håkan has undertaken remix work for the likes of Fatboy Slim, Ennio Moriconne, Midfield General, Kool Keith, Q-Burns, Lisa Shaw, Dalminjo and many more. He has even produced Yello’s “Planet Dada”…
The recording before you is Håkan Lidbo’s fourth release on Enjoy Recordings, and once again emanates class. The first track is “Senegal Gals”. Its teasing percussive intro coaxes people onto the dance floor, while the frenzied latter part will hold them there! “Senegal Pals” is a housier version with a distinct crazy bassline that will stick in the memory.
Then, it is on a breakbeat tip that label’s boss Raph Dumas delivers a nostalgic yet spanking take, followed by Manuel Perez givin’it with his effective action-filled uptempo disco house flavoured re-take.
DJ Mourad (Next Dimension, Selekta, Soul People Music) makes you go mental with his slamming chicago-dubby-percussive “From Dakar To Kingston” remix. Illustrious smooth deep House producer Pawel Kobak (Route 33, Lace, Hi Phen, i! Recordings, Exquisite Music…) also contributes a revision. His version invokes a proper deep house vibe, which will certainly be a winner with his fans.
“Senegal” is destined to be one of the afro-house tunes of the decade!
