      • 3. Manu Dibango ft King Sunny Ade - Jingo (Luke Una's Dancing In Outer Space Edit)

      Having spent a lifetime getting his hands dirty digging in crates, Luke's collection of off-the-beaten-track gems is second to none. For this three-track E Soul edit release, Luke delivers a one-way ticket to the outer reaches of the universe soaking up sounds from Barbados, the UK and Cameroon along the way. Strap in for a triple threat of signature Luke Una edits reworking Ella Andall, Slick Mission and Manu Dibango for the modern dancefloor.

      Up first, Luke twists and tweaks the Caribbean radiance of Ella Andall 'My Spirit Is Music', enriching this high- energy heater. Speaking about the track he said, "It's a remarkable, '90s, swerve ball, machine soul, afrobeat groove from Barbados. Incredibly rare, but most importantly it's a wonderful fusion of drum machine and this almost carnival- like feel to this afrobeat rhythm that just turns it into the outer cosmos."

      Following that, Luke gets suitably cosmic on the dub dials with his 5am Shabeen Proto House Edit of Slick Mission 'Times Up'. Produced by Jerry Pike of Atmosfear / Elite Records fame, Luke recounts, "This is a very much missed slice of UK house pressure which has its foot firmly in a proto-house feel. Very DIY, rough and raw - it's an absolute gem. This is one that has definitely escaped most eyes."

      Last but not least, it's a stop in Cameroon shining a light on the legendary Manu Dibango and his cover of 'Jingo' featuring King Sunny Ade. "Their version of 'Jingo' takes the original classic into a whole new level of outer space, afro brilliance. It's such a beautiful cover and really turns the track into something else. The musicianship and vibes just scream out. Oddly no one really seems to know it."
