When we were told we could pick any Orlando Voorn classic to remix, we immediately knew we HAD to remix ‘In Da Jungle’.
So we got remixing and came up with this tribal affair which seems to get down pretty well in our sets. Not that intro and a drop after a minute stuff, but an old school vibe with classic slow build ups that hopefully does some justice to the amazing original.
Release date: april 29 2013 on Big & Dirty Records.
Yolanda Be Cool made a record with Gurrumul, Australia’s most prominent and most successful indigenous artist, the guy that was born blind, grew up as part of Yothu Yindi, plays the guitar backwards, is said to have the voice of an angel, and already had a swathe of Aria awards to his name. And these two dudes from The Netherlands who go by the name of Chocolate Puma were asked to remix it. Here’s the result.
We used to call ourselves The Good Men, and in early 1992 we made Give It Up.
Back then our studio was very basic. In fact it was a bedroom with nothing more than a bed and a few pieces of gear. For example our mixer was a dusty Boss BX 8 mixer with only a few channels and bass & treble knobs.
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.

We’re very proud to present you our new single, Back Home. It’s a stomping kinda old school House Jam, with lyrics about bridges and stuff, totally aimed for the dance floor.
It features the vocals of Colonel Red, an amazing soul singer, who you might know from his Sweet Liberation album and his own Ruff Language label.
We think it’s awesome that Red is also working with us now, as he has a unique voice and is a nice chap, and we really have a great connection in the studio. So expect a lot more from us three in the future.
The artwork for the sleeve is also something we’re very proud of. Drawn by multi-talented Marc Sokpolie, it’s a result of many brainstorm session at the choco labs, which resulted in a series of illustrations that will feature on our records sleeves and other Chocolate Puma outings.
Out on Defected: 3/05/2010
