Masters at Work and Jaden Thompson remix Mafikizolo’s tribal house gem 'Loot'

The legendary MAW Records has launched a new remix series spotlighting standout tracks from its catalogue, and it kicks off with a fresh set of reworks for Mafikizolo’s 2002 release 'Loot.'

Originally produced by the acclaimed South African group during their early 2000s run on MAW Records, 'Loot' is widely regarded as one of their defining tracks.

Says Louie Vega, “We’re really excited about this release. This tune we picked up on our early visits to Johannesburg back in 1999, we've been going there ever since! It's a classic amongst MAW fans and has been played all over the world. We were the first who introduced B.O.P. and Mafikizolo through Maw Records to the world on the club scene (late 90's - 2000) with this release and a few others. Jaden has done an outstanding job, and we (Masters At Work) gave it our thang! Here's to another life for this classic club jam.”

Kenny Dope and Louie Vega offer three reinterpretations: a vibrant main remix retaining the original’s Afro vocal elements with added rhythmic depth, a dub version built on dynamic drum patterns and cosmic textures, and a lengthy instrumental that unfolds with soulful elegance. Jaden Thompson then delivers a stripped-back, percussive remix infused with tribal energy for high-impact club moments.

The release marks the beginning of a four-part MAW Records Classics remix initiative and it drops on 16 May.
