Originally described by Footshooter as “a collection of moods from the last three years” and rooted in collaboration, The Oasis blends broken beat, house, jazz and spoken word with contributions from artists including Allysha Joy, Native, MA.MOYO and James Mollison of Ezra Collective. On The Oasis (Remixes), that spirit of collaboration deepens, this time by opening the music up to friends and peers, each bringing their own unique touch.
Last Nubian kicks things off with a playful, funk-laced version of Boomerang feat. Native & Wilf Petherbridge, describing it as “a funky stomper with the intention to take you on a journey.” Known for releases on Touching Bass and Eglo Records, and for his live project Ships of the Pharaohs, Last Nubian injects the track with warmth and bounce while staying true to its soulful roots.
Marla Kether reworks Folding feat. Allysha Joy into a deep house cut, built around “signature driving basslines and Latin percussion” while keeping Allysha’s powerful vocal at the centre. The London-born bassist, producer and DJ has played with everyone from Loyle Carner to Obongjayar, while her solo work has drawn acclaim from Crack, Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova and DJ Mag. Winner of Youth Music’s 2024 Producer of the Year, Marla brings her global dancefloor energy to Footshooter’s groove.
On Surrey Canal Road feat. James Mollison, Fiyahdred adds a summer-ready swing. “This song just sounds like a summer groove! Such a beautiful track to work on - it came together with ease. Truly excited to hear this outside,” they explain. A boundary-pushing voice in UK club music, Fiyahdred (fka Bamz) blends UK funky, house and Afro-Caribbean influences into a sound that celebrates Black and queer legacies in dance music.
Finally, Anja Ngozi brings her free-thinking, genre-bending vision to What You Saw feat. MA.MOYO & Mahon. Known for her productions, DJ sets and soundtracks for Tate Modern, ICA and V&A, as well as collaborations with Tirzah, Wu-Lu and Puma Blue, Anja reimagines the track in her own boundary-blurring style, weaving between club energy and artful abstraction.
