Reading the tracklist of EDU K´s album „Frenétiko“, it´s soon clear that this man truely loves women. Tracks like „Sex-O-Matic“, „Sexxxy“, „Quero Ser Ator Porno“ (If I could be Porn actor) and last but not least „Hot Mama“ all cavalierly illustrate: Edu K´s heart beats for all things female.

„Hot Mama, won´t you shake your hips for me?“ asks Edu in the opening line of his sunshine tune, and it´s quite obvious that few women would decline. Accompanied by a Cuban piano line, Spanish vocal licks, a bouncy electro beat and an irresistable fuzzy bass line, Edu mashs the Carribean with Miami bass, Brazil with New York in a unique way. The four remixes included on the „Hot Mama“ 12“ do equal cross territorial blendings.

The A-Side kicks off with the Sinden remix. Call it fidgit house, minimal bassism – this track reveberates many musical flavours in a fresh uptempo groove. But most of all, it´s damn funky. The remix is produced by London´s Graeme Sinden, one half of top remix team A.Brucker & Sinden, who´s remix list includes Lady Sovereign, Mary J Blige, Bugz In The Attic and most recently released the infamous Din Da Da EP on Counterfeet. Sinden has released tracks on Loungin´records, and is a long time collaborator of Dave „Solid Groove/Switch“ Taylor (who´s also behind the pseudonym A.Brucker).

The Bonde Do Role remix comes in true Brazilian baile funk stylee. Remixed by one of Brazil´s hottest new bands (now signed to Diplo´s Mad Decent label), Bonde Do Role have added a Tamborzao beat and shaped „Hot Mama“ into a favela compatible track, ready to blast the real big speakers.

Zuzuku and Blonde Phantom are hot and upcoming remix talens from NY´s Bronx. Their reggae and dancehall influenced mashups and remixes on their MySpace site were so conving that Edu K asked the duo to rework „Hot Mama“. With a nice (and very familiar) bass lick, Zuzuku and Blonde Phantom poured the Cuban bass track into a skanking tune in original JA fashion.

EDU K´s own „Jamekian“ remix starts with a dancehall influenced riddim and breaks down into an uprising, jacking house groove, perfect for DJ mixing from downbeat to uptempo grooves.

Four remixes and a crowd pleasing original mix. – the „Hot Mama“ EP is another essential vinyl by EDU K that will surely find it´s steady remain on many DJs playlists.
