Kaluba Patrick Mumba Review 

The Throwback Remixes is as aptly titled. It is a musical rendezvous with the R&B of noughties in true “In the mix” fashion. The opening track is David Josias” It's Ashame” from 2000. A track with the kind of lilt that pulls you into a groove underscored with vocal lines that reference some 70’s and 90’s classics like the The Spinners It’s a Shame and Sugar Hill gangs Rappers Delight. 

Track 2 is Roi Anthony’s two steppin Who’s Gon Love Me”. It continues in the same vein but kicks off the groove with percussive elements that make you “curious” (?? -read on) 

Track 3 finds Lydia getting “Closer” to the “Surface” with a contemporary re-working of this 80’s staple with Pic Conley signature flute embellishments. 

Track 4 is a remix of a cover; Babyface’s “For the Lover in You” featuring Jody Watley, Jeffrey Daniel, Howard Hewitt and LL CoolJ ……..#Ooohbabybaby#, it oddly implores one to reach out for the replay button but then MixSensei cunningly introduces another remarkable remix in the form of LevertSweat&Gill’s Midnight Star cover -Curious (got the wink now) featuring Busta “rambunctious” Rhymes and MC Lytte. 

To max it out, the sequence is re-directed into avenue-do-not-disturb-this-groove with Diane Marsh’s understated “Do Not Give Up On Lovin” before Positive Flow’s “My Prediction” and its contagious vocals by none other than Omar. If you suffer from R_&_B_Mylitis, the closing track will send you into a ecstatic high with its in your face sound and a chorus line that evokes the suggestive hook in Kool & The Gang’s Ladies Night. I suppose it is MixSensei Mel’s way of telling you that #This is his mix-tonight, everything is going to be - alright#!
