Defected asked us to remix one of the biggest records of the summer, you know, that ultimate Ibiza track; ‘The Trumpeter’ by Ray Foxx. The funny thing is that we made it on a flight to Casablanca, Morocco. Who needs studios anyway?

Oh, and it is out today!

Hi guys & girls, here’s a new remix we did for Mastiksoul & Gregor Salto‘s massive ‘Toca Bunda’. During our tour in Portugal we were told what ‘bunda‘ means, so we added some bunda shaking bass, thumping kick drums and whooshing stuff. Out now on 4kenzo records @ beatport.

Late last year, the original mix of Chiuso marked the joining of Laidback Luke and Gina Turner in a orgy of creative production, the result of which was Chiuso; a really awesome latin inspired house track.
Now, Defected asked us to give our interpretation of Chiuso. Of course we said yes. So we worked our butts of and made some banging beats you can dance to with lots of stuff thrown on top! And horns.

We made a remix for The Beatthiefs – Umbungo. As you can see it went down quite well when we dropped it at the Defected In The House ADE party.

This is what those lovely folks at Big & Dirty Records had to say about its:

“Umbungo is the latest offering from rising stars The BeatThiefs. This energetic tech house monster already killed dancefloors during ADE where it got its first road tests. For more dancefloor damage head over to the Chocolate Puma remix who have delivered probably one of their best remixes in a while. Known for delivering top class production, Chocolate Puma recreated Umbungo into a fierce house meets tribal monster. Big stuff!”

We do apologize for any harm done to the dancefloors.

Releasedate: December 6th, 2010, exclusively on Beatport.

The biggest rave record ever to come out of The Netherlands would definately be Fierce Ruling Diva – Rubb It In. After 19 years (yes, it’s that old) Bart B More got the rights to re-release this gem on his Secure Recordings imprint. He thought we were old school enough to do a remix. We are, and so we did the remix. Bring on synth stabs, glow sticks and shouting diva’s.

Buy at Beatport, including Chocolate Puma, Bart B More, East & Young, Tommie Sunshine and Genetik & Gio Martinez remixes.

Update: watch the “official” Chocolate Puma Remix video.

Yes, we got another remix out. It’s a track by Martin Accorsi feat. Sarah Kühne and it’s called Soul Jack.
Released on Roger Sanchez’ Stealth Records, this track has been a firm favourite in our sets, and from what we’ve heard it also gets heavy support from all the usual suspects.

Grab Martin Accorsi feat. Sarah Kühne – Soul Jack (Chocolate Puma Remix) at Beatport.

We also went to Japan to shoot this video. Rumour is that an incognito Laidback Luke did all the ninja stunts.

Y’all know Robert Owens right? This legendary vocalist is known for one of the best house records of all time, ‘I’ll Be Your Friend‘.
So when we got the chance to remix his track ‘Deep Down’ we were quite chuffed indeed.

Now Underground Collective released it and you can grab your copy here.

Meanwhile, In The Chocolate Puma Studio… (lofi preview) by Chocolate Puma

Back in 1993 Strictly Rhythm released a record called ‘South Street Player – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind‘. It was a song produced and performed by Roland Clarke, who you also might know from ‘Armand van Helden’s Flowers‘.

Soon it became quite a big club hit here in The Netherlands. We both loved the record so we decided to license it for our Fresh Fruit Label. For our release we made 2 remixes: Fresh Fruit Deep and Fresh Fruit Dub. Both didn’t have much vocals in it, not because we didn’t like them, but because back then we just didn’t have the equipment to include the full vocals. In those early days our ‘studio’ was very basic!

Now, 17 years later, we made a vocal edit of our Fresh Fruit Dub, so you can finally hear it how it was ment to be.
Strictly Rhythm is re-releasing it on the 1st of februari 2010, alongside a remix and dub by Daniel Bovie & Roy Rox.

UPDATE: It’s out now on Beatport!
