The second single from Thandi Draai's upcoming Africa Get Physical Vol. 5 features two remixes of a Samim classic - one from her alongside DJ Clock and Mphoza, and one from FNX Omar Remix.
Samim's 'Heater' is a true underground anthem. It's one of several ever-green hits in the Get Physical catalogue that never fails to make a dance floor erupt. There is no one better placed to remix it with a whole different energy than Afro-house pioneer Thandi Draai - a mainstay in her native scene who has also had props from MistaJam and Radio 1 and has long been serving up her unique mix of deep and vocal sounds on this label.
She joins forces with fellow South African house innovators DJ Clock & Mphoza to flip 'Heater' into a slow-burning cut that's loaded up with tense percussion. The rumbling drums and bass eventually break to make for an epic build with all sorts of wordless cries and percussive clatter before the iconic accordion line from the original appears and ignites the party as steamy vocals add further heat.
FNX Omar is a Moroccan who has driven his native scene forward and draws on his Arab-Berber heritage. His remix is deep and loose, tribal and peppered with hints of the accordion sound, which eventually flourishes into life in fantastic fashion.
This a standout remix package from the heart of the much anticipated Africa Get Physical Vol. 5.

This one is a work of art. Al versions! All preconceived ideas about what a remix or remake is and what are the outer limits of a remix will be shattered aster you give these three tracks a spin . The tunes are hard hitting and while preserving all the kinetic energy of the original add many new layers turning it into a hot plasma , triggering that hard grind chain reaction that all re-mixers seek. This one will tunnel you right out of this here galaxy, pirooz54
