Audio: Motèl Mari 'Eternal Peasant Remixes: South Africa x South Florida'


Motèl Mari, the textural soundscape project from BLK JKS members Mpumi McataTshepang Ramoba and collaborator João Orecchia, gets a batch of cross-continental remixes from South African and South Floridan producers ARK IX, Ashworth, Dirty Paraffin, and The Brother Moves. The sounds span haze beats, glitch bass and more straightforward guitar-led reworkings, with the SA inclusions —  Dirty Paraffin's take on "According To Who" and The Brother Moves On ballad — being clear standouts.
