Ayobaaaa! We are proud to present the winners in the “Ayoba” remix contest today. After receiving more than 100 contributions from all over the globe, we spent hours and hours going through our Soundcloud dropbox. We received a lot of halftime pounding dubstep and wobbel remixes (in fact, a bit too many), there were seriously far-out remixes (the heavy metal remix of Chernobyl, the “Schnitzel” dub remix of Jah Power), a lot of Kuduro inspired remixes (One Man Ben, Barney Iller) and some very well produced remixes (PPP Refix, BamR, DJ Alarm, DJ Densen). In the end, we had to make some tough decisions, there were more than a dozen really good remixes, but we had to cut them down to three. So here´s our nominees:

Jakob / Schlachthofbronx:

Bros Before Hoes
Hood Regulators
Sabbo

Bene / Schlachthofbronx:

Bros Before Hoes
Hood Regulators
Africa Raver

Daniel / Man Rec:

Barney Iller
DJ Chernobyl
One Man Ben

After the jury´s selection was clear, we decided to announce two winners:

BROSBEFOREHOES (France)
AYOBA (BROS BEFORE HOES Remix) by Bros Before Hoes

and

HOOD REGULATORS (Switzerland)
Ayoba! (Hood Regulators Remix) by hoodregulators

CONGRATULATIONS!
And many thanks to all who have participated! This was a truly amazing contest with a lot of new, and unknown talent contributing, which we hope to engage in future projects. The winning remixes will be added to the “Ayoba Remix” EP after they´ve been mastered, expect them to be available end of March.

Thanks to everybody who has participated in the “Ayoba” remix contest. We received more than 70 (!) contributions from all over the planet, even pros like Tommie Sunshine from New York and Bonde Do Rôle producer DJ Chernobyl contributed their interpretation of the big Bavarian-South African tune. And from the first listenings we made it will be a tough one to choose the #1.

We are currently in the process of listening and evaluating all sent-in remixes, we´ll announce the winners next week. Until then, stay tuned to the blog – there´s a lot of hotness coming up!!

Yeahhh! We are very happy to present: SCHLACHTHOFBRONX´s smashing new release the “Ayoba EP”, out tomorrow on Man Recordings digital!

Within only a year, these Bavarian Ravemeisters stormed the hearts of a global audience with their irresistable, full-on party bangers that nurture from Jamaican Dancehall, Angolan Kuduro, Trinidad carnival sounds, Rio Baile Funk, Dirty South and Balkan beats all at once. Call it the trans world rave beat hotpotch, all mixed up in a hyper energetic, maximal dancefloor sound – with prime time support by global players such as DIPLO, SINDEN and DANIEL HAAKSMAN. After their critically acclaimed album on Disko B and extensive touring through Europe, the “Bronx Guys” return with another slammin’ release – the “Ayoba EP”.

The EP kicks off with leading tune “Ayoba” (a South African slang word meaning “cool”, “alright”). It features the South African glam rap prince from Soweto, SPOEK MATHAMBO of SWEAT X and PLAYDOE, with whom SCHLACHTHOFBRONX have collaborated on various tracks on their debut album. Together with female MC GNUCCI BANANA, SPOEK rants over the mad tropical beats of SCHLACHTHOFBRONX. “Vem Que Tem” feat. MC MARINA brings the two Bavarians to a baile funk party, where they add their hi-speed beats to the savvy lyrics of Rio based MC MARINA which sings on how she’s shaking her derrier at a baile funk party. Baile Funk meets Ghetto Tech and UK Bassline in this track, which has been a steady sure shot in the high-powered SCHLACHTHOFBRONX live sets.

“Sai Safarda” (”Watch Out, you little bastard”) feat. MC LEKA is another baile funk inspired track. Leka has already contributed on “Para De Graçinha” on the CROOKERS produced Funk Mundial #3 release on Man Recordings, and returns with another strong female macho rap on what she’ll do to the girls that take away her husband. Last but not least it’s time to return to the Middle European melody complex, with “Tulum”, another steady guest in the SCHLACHTHOFBRONX live sets. Imagine a Bavarian accordeon-player accidentally landing in the studio of a Angolan Kuduro producer and there you have “Tulum”, call it “Bavarian Afro Schranz”, this tune certainly is bridging styles trans-continentally.

SCHLACHTHOFBRONX = AYOBA!
