Michael Bibi and KETTAMA have joined forces to release their long-awaited Wu-Tang Clan edit, “Mystery of Raw.”
The red-hot house ID arrives today on Circoloco Records after years of hype and studio tweaks.
Sampling U-God’s famous bar on Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 hip-hop classic, “Da Mystery of Chessboxin’,” the track’s legend began in 2017, when KETTAMA flipped the vocal into a hard-edged house tune known around the underground as “Raw Cuts,” in turn helping propel the Irish DJ to major stages across the globe.
After Bibi picked up the tune and made it a staple of his own performances, the Solid Grooves boss put his own spin on it and began teasing the latest version in the summer of 2025. Now, after the pair dropped it during their B2B at Tomorrowland Belgium last month, “Mystery of Raw” gets its official release as one of the scene’s few universally certified heaters.
Listen to Michael Bibi and KETTAMA’s “Mystery of Raw” below.
