Deboule (Beakplus’ Broken Tribute remix)

Blo (CW edit)

VU says - 'Outrageous Bitasweet/Co-Op 2004 vibes here with a massive broken beat mix on the flip. Heat for the dance. With the amazing original on the front with those dope synth lines, this is a super value 12"'

Beauty & the Beat takes an ever deeper mission into the gwoka scene of Guadeloupe. it is the celebrated carnival outfit Akiyo who are in focus here with two tracks taken from second and supremely hard-to-find long player, Mouvman, in 1993. 'Deboule' is a real heater with bustling drum funk and chatting tribal vocals all run through with synth wizardry from Marie-Galante Jacques-Marie Basses. 'Blo' is just as steamy and intern with percussion, whistles and big beats all making quite the impact. Breakplus adds a London twist to 'Deboule' for a huge broken style ramp up, big scenes! While CW adds a cosmic air to the percussive 'Blo.'
