Wah Wah 45s present two very special cover versions from our beloved Afro-electronic duo, Raz & Afla, available on 12' vinyl for the very first time! Having recently released their sophomore LP, 'Echoes of Resistance', to great acclaim and support ranging from Nick Grimshaw on BBC 6 Music to Tash LC on BBC Radio 1, and the follow up remix project 'Remixes of Resistance', featuring reworks from Jamz Supernova, DMX Krew, and JKriv, the pair offer up their unique takes on two very different slices of club culture on twelve inches of wax.First up, the pair tackle Aphex Twin's sleazy and sinister turn-of-the-century dance floor bomb 'Windowlicker' and take it somewhere completely unexpected, as Raz explains:'We wanted to go to a different place from our influences for this one. When we told people we will cover this tune everyone said 'but how?!' In Raz & Afla style. We had an idea of what elements to recreate from the original and how we can reference it within our spectrum of sounds. It was so much fun to do and really kicks off at our live shows.'It's a heavily percussive reinterpretation, replete with spooky wordless vocals, funky guitars and spine tingling synths that builds into something of a future Afro-house anthem, whilst respecting the genius of the original recording.On the flip, 'Going Back To My Roots' has become a mainstay in Raz & Afla's live sets, and means a lot to them personally, as Raz once again explains:'We love this song. The lyrics resonate with us, talking about the meaning of connection to a land and it's people. The history of this song is also fascinating, from Hugh Masekela and Orlando Julius through Odyssey and Richie Havens. We wanted to give it our own flavor. You can't choose your heritage and where you are born. It is always a part of you and we like to celebrate that.'Written and first recorded by Lamont Dozier in 1977, 'Going Back To My Roots' was famously covered by Richie Havens in 1980 before becoming a huge crossover hit when interpreted by disco outfit Odyssey in 1981. Raz & Afla very much give their version their own unique dance floor feeling. It's one which has received much support on BBC 6 Music.Tracklisting:A. Windowlicker (5:34)B. Going Back to My Roots (5:31)
