A song that speaks to these times of struggle, and which calls for an end to tribal and political violence in Africa, featuring emotional vocals by Oluhle. The song is re-interpreted beautifully by established and up and coming producers from around the world, including Manoo, Justin Imperiale, Tommy Bones, Fabrizio Ortella, and South African standouts, Jaso, and Morra DeRey.

debut album on Ocha Records, "Secreto". This release is also particularly
special to us as it will be our first vinyl release.

In My Lifetime" featuring Tamara Wellons is Ezel's and Tamara's first collabo, and these two Ocha recording artists hit it out of the park! A lot of effort went into the writing, recording and mixing of these songs, and I hope it shows. This record has been getting alot of love from Joe Claussell, Louie Vega, Danny Krivit, DJ Spinna, and Osunlade.

On the b-side Pieces of Me Flexie Muiso on vocals and Yoruba Records artist Quetzal Guerrero on violin join Ezel and help to continue to spread the global soul vibes.

Stay tuned for the Deetron and Osunlade remixes of this amazing song comingthis summer.

New Music from Ocha Records: Mzee "Umoja feat. Kampi Moto"

(Click here to listen and purchase)

We proudly present a tribute to South African music legend Kampi Moto, who joined Ocha Record's Mzee for one of his final recordings before his passing and created the song Umoja with Mzee. We enlisted the help of some of the leaders of the new school to do their magic on the remix tip and we were not dissapointed. Culoe de Song and Boddhi Satva lead the charge with some very heavy beats, while Areo Manyelo, and Mushroom Boys bring the Afro-tech sound in a very big way that will move any dancefloor. The 2nd song on this release, The Flute Song is treated to an infectious dance floor makeover by Mzee labelmate Ezel. Brazilian Soul Crew also gives The Flute Song alot of love with their mix, while DJ Cecil simply abuses the track with appropriately titled Beatdown remix.

Here's what some of our favorite DJs have to say:

Killing it hard with this song... 3 X Dope! - Jojo Flores (Gotsoul, Therapy)

The Culoe De Song Remix is Minimal, Moody.......HOTNESS!!!! - Santos (Yoruba Records)

This track is crazy! - DJ Manoo (Real Tone, Buzzin' Fly)

have been rocking 'Flute Song' for a while and this is a big hit with the heads! and as far as 'Umoja' all i gotta say is Culoe TURNT this out big time! as always my full support! - Master Kev (Code Red, Defected)

This is the heat for the fall dancefloor! - Jovonn (NextMoov)

Another dope release for Ocha, i would definitely say the original and the Culoe de Song mixes are the ones for me. Got my full support - Stephen Rigmaiden (Connected Music)

Culoe de Song has his own sound, pure deep afro vibes, i feel this, it has to sound great in a big system, cant wait to feel the bass freq. An essential piece for all those who love real afro tracks - Kiko Navarro (Pacha, Spain)

Another Ocha spirit raising classic! Culoe De Song is ahead of his time! Umoja...definitive of the unifying synergy of Africa's rhythm & roots & the much needed evolution of house music. - DJ Sabine (Brooklyn Mecca, NYC)

...great vibe, moving vocals... - DJ Deep (Deeply Rooted House)

It is our pleasure to present to you Mzee's second release on Ocha Records, already supported by some of house music's heavy hitters.

Original, Bomba and Sbonza mixes written, recorded and produced by Mzee in his Bomba Studios in Johannesburg, South Africa. Executive Producers Carlos Mena, Osunlade and Mzee

CASAMENA Radio Hour - January Update

info@casamena.com (Carlos Mena) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 08:46:00 GMT

Hey family,

Happy New Year! How are you? I am going to try to keep you all updated from time to time, in addition to bringing you the Radio Hour. Don't worry I am wrapping up a new show for you and it will be up before Monday (California Time / PST). There is sooo much new music, that's piling up here at the studio, that I will have to step up my game and bring the show at least once a week to catch up. Good for you, I guess, .

You can always catch me on myspace or facebook, but in the meantime here's the news for this week!

For those of you who can't get enough of the show, you can now become a CASAMENA Radio Hour member and receive exclusive, special mixes every month, and other goodies for $1.89 per month. Join here.

Out now on Ocha Records:

Ezel's mix of my tune "Drawn to Her"
exclusively on Traxsource. This was just added to the already hot package which includes remixes by Osunlade and Boddhi Satva.

Get it while it's hot!

Out now on our new label, Palm Sugar Records:

Nicholas Gunn "La Morada en el Templo Antiguo" (CASAMENA Remixes)

Be on the lookout for new releases from Ocha Records, and Palm Sugar, coming in the next two weeks.

** "Mahwuelele" by South African producer Mzee will be released this month, and includes remixes by Boddhi Satva, TommyBones, Halo & Steve Rigmaiden, and of course the Manoo mix, which is getting a sound thrashing in the clubs

** See Line Woman (CASAMENA Basement Remix) will finally be released this month and will include a remix by Ezel and a CASAMENA Dub. Look at what some of our favorite DJs have to say!

"Mr. Mena does it again! Reworking a classic is a real challenge, but he's done it with ease, play it loud!"

Louie Vega, Masters At Work

"Deep, dope and claiming the dance floor!"

Osunlade (Yoruba)

"Carlos Mena has craftily and creatively updated this classic into a global soul banger!"

Ian Friday (Tea Party Music/Libation)

"Great job Mr. Mena....Dope version to add to the collection"

Mr. V (Sole Channel)

Lars Behrenroth (Deeper Shades of House / Deeper Shades Recordings)

"Carlos, your remix has that added twist to it with fresh percussion and great effects. This is a definitely a dance floor shaker, I been playing it for a while now and it always gets the crowd movin'!!!"
