Released on the 24th of May 2024, Calix made a bunch of ‘ Fela rave’ remixes on the new EP project, creating this re-imagined, unique style and blend of  Fela, that cuts across very creative genres from EDM to Amapiano and Techno house. Calix transports his listeners on each track, with an exciting aim of bringing  the rave party energy of Ibiza down to Nigeria. These remixes are the summer candid gold tracks we are not about to miss. Like a gold in plane sight, the have-the-time-of-your-life, party Vibes leaves you wanting to party hard and in awe of its creative splendor. It is filled to the brim with sick paced rhythms you cannot get enough of, a command to groove and take your mind and body on a higher plane. A supersonic word of no restraints.
