Reinterpreting the Legacy of Orile to Berlin Originally released as a groundbreaking fusion of Afrobeat, funk, and hip-hop, Orile to Berlin captured the essence of RAH & The Ruffcats’ journey—from the streets of Lagos to the underground clubs of Berlin. With raw energy, socially conscious lyricism, and masterful instrumentation, the album became a testament to cultural exchange and musical evolution. Now, on Orile to Berlin (Remixes), chosen tracks are reimagined through a fresh sonic lens.

A Stellar Lineup of Remixers

• Kid Fonque (Rodeo – Kid Fonque Refix): The South African tastemaker infuses Rodeo with his signature Afro house energy, transforming the Afrobeat original into a hypnotic, groove-heavy club anthem.
• Dead Rabbit (MoonSun – Dead Rabbit Remix): A veteran of the German hip-hop and electronic music scene, Dead Rabbit has made a name for himself through collaborations with Marteria, Samy Deluxe, and Seeed’s Demba Nabé. Growing up in Rostock with a classical music background, he was deeply influenced by hip-hop culture and electronic experimentation, shaping a signature sound that blends dark, atmospheric textures with intricate beats. His MoonSun remix is a cinematic rework, incorporating deep bass, eerie melodies, and an unmistakable intensity.
• Ben Gomori (Agidi – Ben Gomori’s Ego Trip): The UK-based DJ and producer injects Agidi with driving percussion and deep, rolling basslines, elevating the track into the realm of hypnotic house.
• møødify (MoonSun – møødify Remix): The new alter-ego of Moodorama, møødify offers a dreamlike reinterpretation of MoonSun, layering soulful elements with pulsating rhythms and a signature blend of electronic experimentation and organic warmth.
About Moodorama: Originally formed in 1998 in Regensburg, Germany, Moodorama is an electronic music collective known for blending jazz, lounge, bossa nova, and house music. Now, through møødify, the collective explores new sonic landscapes while maintaining their deep-rooted musical ethos.
• Buddy Buxbaum (MoonSun – Baba Dubphunk Remix): A former member of the legendary German hip-hop project Deichkind, Buddy Buxbaum infuses MoonSun with a heavy dub and funk influence. The Baba Dubphunk Remix blends deep bass grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and psychedelic dub elements, offering a completely new perspective on the track.
• Osunlade (Yoruba Soul) (Wake Up – Yoruba Soul Mixes): The Yoruba Records founder brings his deep spiritual touch to Wake Up, crafting two distinct versions—the soulful, introspective Yoruba Soul Mix and the percussive, club-driven Yoruba Club Mix. Both versions, along with their instrumental counterparts, extend the track’s reach from underground dancefloors to euphoric sunrise sets.
