This record features two remixes by German DJ and producer \"David Hanke\" aka \"Renegades Of Jazz\", for Afro-latin Funk bands \"Brownout\" and \"Jungle Fire\". Brownout's remix was first released in 2013 via Paris DJs on a very limited run of 45s and quickly became very sought after. By painstakingly cutting every instrument's individual notes, increasing the tempo and adding in a punchy breakbeat at the end, David turned \"Flaximus\" into an up-tempo dancefloor hit.\nJungle FIre's song \"Comencemos\" that appears on the B side is a cover version of Fela Ransome-Kuti's song \"Let's Start\".David added some more Afrofunk elements to the Jungle Fire version and builds a bridge to the original Fela version with the additional elements. The Jungle Fire remix is previously unreleased and will be available on vinyl for the first time.\n\"David Hanke\" has been linked to \"Matasuna Records\" since our early days, when he released his \"Dem Juju Poets\" debut album on Matasuna in 2017. Most recently he delivered a dancefloor-friendly edit of \"Mawuli Decker's\" \"Mololi-Lomko\" at the end of 2020, again released on Matasuna. David is constantly producing and surprises regularly with new musical projects, restlessly trying to develop and refine his sound. With his new label, \"Bathurst\", he created a home for all his electronic music projects. Bathurst follows the notion of not focusing on any formats or genres, but caring more about the electronic music Hanke adores.\nNine-piece band \"Brownout\" from Austin\/Texas, was formed in 2005 by members of the Grammy Award-winning Latin orchestra \"Grupo Fantasma\" and have since become a musical force of their own. In addition to three Austin Music Awards, the band has performed at countless events and festivals and has regularly toured the U.S. also as highly sought-after backing band for artists like Prince, GZA and many more. Their albums and singles have been released on labels like \"Freestyle Records\", \"Ubiquity\" or \"Fat Beats\".\n\"Jungle Fire\" is an Afrolatin Funk band from Los Angeles known for their authentic and highly explosive sound. They quickly gained attention of the local Los Angeles scene and beyond, which led to their first release on the Funk and Soul label \"Colemine\". Other releases have been released on \"Nacional Records\", \"Paris DJs\" and \"Razor N Tape\". Their second album \"Jambú\" debuted at #4 on the Billboard Latin charts in February 2017 which led to numerous features in several movies, commercials and TV shows.

The album features several covers of Sabbath classics including “Iron Man”, “N.I.B” and “Hand Of Doom” with Black Angels singer Alex Maas.   Remaining true to the darkness, bombast and fuzz of Sabbath's sound, Brownout reinvents the music with their trademark flavours of Latin-funk and psychedelic rock. Powerful horns combined with Alex Maas’ haunting vocals, funked-up drums and percussion transform “Hand Of Doom” into a rock and funk juggernaut that clocks in at almost 8 minutes long. Alex Marrero takes his turn on the vocals and channels his inner Ozzy Osbourne on “The Wizard” and “N.I.B”. Deep, hypnotic percussion combined with a full horn section and Adrian Quesada‘s heavy yet groovy lead guitar layered on top adds a funk sensibility and Latin flourishes to the originals throughout the album.   An 8-piece outfit formed ten years ago by members of Grammy Award-winning Latin revival orchestra Grupo Fantasma, Brownout has evolved into a musical force all its own. After garnering their third Austin Music Award last year, the band has continued to produce music that is unflinchingly progressive, while evoking the classic influences of artists such as WAR, Cymande and Funkadelic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ubiquity","offers":[{"title":"Brown LP","offer_id":50453892890955,"sku":"2000277","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ab67616d0000b273b92cb2850e35dcfac0c63229_9607689e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727178510"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_75d65e2b_thumbnail_4096_b9b77944-011e-43cc-b5c1-ea0bb84d7291.jpg?v=1726328313","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/brownout.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
