Masters at Work Remix Mafikizolo’s ‘Loot’: Listen (DJ Mag)

Masters at Work have remixed Mafikizolo’s ‘Loot’ as part of a new MAW Records Classics remix series. Have an exclusive first listen below.

To kick off the series, the New York house music pioneers have transformed the 2002 hit into a cosmic, late-night gem. Out tomorrow (16th May) on MAW Records, the remix is loaded with glowing synth melodies, massive basslines and the duo’s signature smoky house beats. Completing the package is a remix from London favourite Jaden Thompson, who taps into the lush Afro-pop energy of the original cut.

“We’re really excited about this release,” Masters at Work’s Louie Vega shared. “This tune we picked up on our early visits to Johannesburg back in 1999, we’ve been going there ever since! It’s a classic amongst MAW fans and has been played all over the world.

“We were the first who introduced B.O.P. and Mafikizolo through MAW Records to the world on the club scene (late ’90’s to 2000) with this release and a few others. Jaden has done an outstanding job, and we (Masters At Work) gave it our thang! Here’s to another life for this classic club jam.”

‘Loot (2025 Remixes)’ is out via MAW Records on 16th May. Have an exclusive first listen to Masters at Work’s remix below.
