OYA (Remixes) by CISUMMI

Brooklyn based artist CISUMMI teamed up with talented Chambord and Jaykill to bring their fresh touch to the original version to kick off the summer.

Before the release of OYA's original version, CISUMMI made "OYA '' travel into the hands of producers with the intent of creating a remix package. He believed that OYA's magic sonorities could be blended with various music styles to spread various energies via remixes. Chambord and Jaykill were thrilled to cease the challenge and delivered each a remix which makes you immerse into distinctive musical universes and influences.

The Paris-based Chambord duo flipped ‘OYA'  into an attractive Organic House track. The guitar, key element of the original version, has been reinvented and is now sharing the spotlights with a pleasant saxophone and  piano. The combination of those three instruments transport the listener into a mystical and melodic journey. The percussions sprinkled over the top of the drums bring a real brightness to the groove while the vocals are delivering warm and powerful emotion.

Jaykill built his remix version around Nani Odjèladé’s original vocal. All along the track, the listener is carried by a tuneful kalimba also known as the ‘thumb piano of Africa’. Layers of synthesizers paired with a piano are blended perfectly into this ensemble and add a sunny and tenderness impression. The drums are rich and bring a tribal house groove which leaves an everlasting invitation to travel.
