Mausiki Scales, the visionary keyboardist and founder of the Atlanta-based Afrobeat/Funk ensemble Mausiki Scales and the Common Ground Collective, elevates us with Ozim!, a vibrant single from his forthcoming album, Long Memory. Ozim!—an exuberant chant hailing from Ivory Coast, West Africa—serves as a playful and interactive call-and-response, inviting listeners to Get Involved! Anchored by an infectious, funky groove and an enchanting marimba melody, this track is as captivating as it is engaging.

The 12″ vinyl features remixes of Ozim! by the world-renowned DJ/Producer Kai Alce of NDATL. Additionally, it includes Alce’s remixes of Mezmerized and Let the Drum Remind You – tracks previously unreleased on vinyl. This entire offering delves into the deep sounds of house, taking listeners on an excursion of warm chords, soulful vocals and irresistible rhythms. Take the Journey!
