Captain Planet: Through The Wire – Remixes 2012-2015 Vinyl 2LP

House and tropical bass remixes from Bastard Jazz’s Captain Planet. The prolific producer moves through different styles with ease, adding dancefloor potential wherever he sets foot. His taste is all encompassing, leaving no corner of the world untouched. There are the Middle Eastern vibes of Alsarah & The Nubatones’ “Wad Alnuba,” Saran’s “Tounkan” delivers Sub Saharn Africa rhythms, we get a dose of Cumbia with Buyepongo’s “Maestros,” travel to a dubby part of the Caribbean with La Yegros’ “Viene Di Mi,” the Centeral American folklore of Los Folkloristas “El Coco” gets beefed up, and the Captain even takes on some Afrobeat with London Afrobeat Collective’s “Prime Minister.” There’s much more to be had beyond all that. Twelve tracks of tropical house sound spread over two pieces of vinyl.
