Khayan & The New World Power Featuring Afrika Bambaataa - Jazzin' (1996)

“Jazzin’” (1996) by Khayan & The New World Power in collaboration with Afrika Bambaataa is an energetic and genre-blending album that captures the vibrant spirit of mid-90s electronic dance music. Released by ZYX Music, the record merges elements of tribal house, euro house, and classic dancefloor rhythms with influences from hip-hop and global percussion traditions, reflecting Bambaataa’s legacy as a pioneer of cross-cultural sound.

The album is driven by pulsating beats, layered synths, and rhythmic percussion, creating a dynamic and immersive club-oriented experience. Tracks like “Funky Heroes” and “Jazzin’” highlight extended grooves and instrumental experimentation, while songs such as “Stop The War Now!!!” and “A.I.D.S. (The Message Part Two)” incorporate socially conscious themes, echoing the message-driven roots of early hip-hop culture.

Throughout the record, there is a strong emphasis on rhythm and atmosphere, with each track offering a distinct vibe—from high-energy dance anthems to deeper, more hypnotic compositions. “Jazzin’” stands out as a fusion project that bridges electronic music with global influences, making it a compelling listen for fans of 90s house and dance music culture.
