Monami has been playing in loops for weeks now around here, so it’s exciting to share two additions to the Monami story: remixes by Los Carlos and Atropolis. Los Carlos is a regular on this site, most notably for his kuduro remix of Elegom Bounsa. Atropolis, of the Dutty Artz crew, also sent us his own take on Monami, better than words:
We won’t call this one a remix contest, instead we want to shift towards a permanent musical lab: we will regularly post stems, vocals, instrumental parts, drum loops, for you to work with. All creative commons, you can do anything you like with it, as long as it’s not commercial. If you do have commercial endeavors, then contact us and let’s work it out. If it sounds good we’ll probably want to release it!
If you’re not familiar with Maskarado, check him out here and here. We are sharing his acapella, which you can download right here. BPM is 125, go crazy!

If you haven’t heard of R2Bees, clearly you have not been to Ghana recently. These cats are at the forefront of the newest craze: afrobeats. With an S, and with little to do with Fela Kuti. A couple of years back, their collaboration with Nigeria’s Wande Coal on the song Kiss Your Hand saw them blowing up in Ghana, and to some extent in Nigeria. Fast forward to the fall of 2011, when Agyei was on repeat anywhere you turned your head.
R2Bees is a loose crew with many ramifications in Tema, the new hotbed for music in Ghana. At its core R2Bees is made up of rapper Paedae and singer Mugeez, with Killbeatz handling production. The song features Ghana’s premier rapper Sarkodie, as well as Nana Boroo, the man behind the massive 2010 hit Ahayede. Given that Killbeatz is on top of his game in Ghana, remixers will have to work extra hard to top his flyness. Listen for yourself:
The rules are as follows:
– download the acapella
– do your thing, work your magic, procrastinate on everything else in your life until you are satisfied with the result
– send us a link to download your creation (no attachments please), either by email, or in our Soundcloud dropbox. We can’t stress this enough: make sure your song is properly tagged. Make sure it has your name somewhere in it. And please make sure we can download it, if we can’t download it we won’t listen to it.
– deadline for this contest is March 31.
– winners will be selected with R2Bees, and their remixes will appear on the Agyei Remix EP. Remixers get 33% revenue share on their remix, including direct sales as well as third party licenses.
– if you don’t feel like sending it back, no stress, do anything you like with it. As long as you don’t make money off of it, we’re cool with it. If you want to license it somewhere else, or make money from it in any other way, that’s also possible, but this bit will require our approval.
Remember Edoheart and Sosomoneycockplease? We’ve been preparing some remixes of this tune, featuring… we can’t tell you just yet. But we decided, together with Edoheart, to add one remix by a yet to be found remixer… which could be YOU, given this is another contest!!! On this one we have to make it quick, please send your remix back no later than February 15. In case you are new to this, here is how it works:
– assemble these stems however you see fit, then send us the result of your work.
– if we like it and select it, you will be featured on the Sosomoneycockplease EP to be released this Spring. You will get a 33% revenue share for sales related to your remix.
– before you send: make sure the song is tagged. If it doesn’t say your name somewhere, it will get lost.
– you can send a link to download the track by email (no attachments please) or add it to our Soundcloud Dropbox.
– if you win, we will contact you to inform you, get original unmastered wav file, photos, bio etc.

It has not been easy to single out one song for our next remix contest… as a matter of fact, it’s been so difficult we’ve decided to change the way we do things: from now on we might have multiple remix contests at the same time. Why? Or why not? Up until now we’ve tried to keep the contests spaced out in time, to make sure each and everyone gets the full attention it deserves. But in recent months we’ve been contacted regularly by producers asking us to share acapellas and stems with them. Every week we still send out the Azingele and Miss Doctor vocals. So why keep the faucet trickling when evidently there is a musical tsunami out there begging to be unleashed?
Without further a due, we present to you: Double, aka Pee Kay & Nana Yaw, who are most known for their last hit: Walai Talai:
Here’s the latest banger, with an acapella we think you might just go bonkers with. Oh and we give you the original 320 mp3 while we’re at it, spread this ish!!!!
