Various Artists – Caribbean Shakedown

The Shaketown series strikes again! This time, we’re diving into the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean, delivering four dazzling zouk gems, each reimagined with a fresh and modern twist. Following in the footsteps of Noema’s legendary edit of Ata Kak’s “Daa Nyinaa”, the brand new CARIBBEAN SHAKETOWN EP is packed with uplifting grooves, infectious Balearic synths, and vocals that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Guiding this sonic adventure is David Benjamin, aka NOEMA, aka MAGIC JAMS – a DJ, Producer, Guitarist and Label Owner from Berlin. In his studio work, he has released one very well received album as well as several EPs, remixes and edits. In this context he collaborated with heavy weights like Apparat, Dj Dixon, and Grammy winners Basement Jaxx as well as electronic music underground heroes such as Lauer, Kalabrese, Shubostar, O/Y, Acid Pauli, Auntie Flo, Dreems, Khidja, Panthera Krause and Mehmet Aslan. Looking back at more than 25 years of DJing, David is a true master at the decks. Constantly refining his craft during a former 10-year residency at the legendary Berlin Club institution Wilde Renate, he developed a unique style combining an outstanding selection, ranging from Disco to IndieDance and House, with out-of-this-world mixing skills. While David releases and plays rather electronic, contemporary and psychedelic music under his NOEMA moniker, his MAGIC JAMS alias is all about acoustic sounds and crate digging, with focus on Music of the African diaspora, Cosmic Disco and Balearic Beat. Furthermore David holds a diploma in classical guitar with focus on music theory, works as a teacher/mentor and runs the highly acclaimed The Magic Movement label and released music by the likes of Nicola Cruz, Axel Boman, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Xique-Xique, Eddie C and many more. All proceeds of this release will be donated to the LOVE AND HOPE MUSIC SCHOOL in City Soleil, Haiti. This beautiful project is offering free music lessons in several orphanages in one of the most dangerous slums of Port Au Prince.
