'Common Sense' Producer JAE5 Adds An Afro Edge To Wez's "Touch You There"


December 01, 2017

Having just won a MOBO Award for Best Song with J Hus' Afro anthem "Did You See", producer-of-the-moment Jonathan Mensah, better known as JAE5, is back with a remix of "Touch You There" by Wez of production outfit Fastlane.

Where the original was a soulful, tropical-tinged vocal house track, JAE5 flips things completely, adding the sort of bouncy Afro flare that made J Hus' Common Sense such a stand-out album. 

"I had to give my bro Wez a clubby Afro charm," JAE5 explained, "to give his calm, laidback vibe, a sprinkle of Jae5 swing." Take a listen to the revamped version below.
