Back To Mine With AWEN

Celebrating five years since their breakout collab ‘Gold’, AWEN and Daniel Rateuke reunite on a hot new afro House single ‘Hustler’, which hails the very first release for AWEN’s new Kanté label. DMCWorld goes Back to Mine with AWEN.

Donny Hathaway  – A Song For You
My son was born on this very song, it carries a sense of peace and unconditional love that resonates deeply with me.

Stevie Wonder – As

Stevie’s songwriting is unmatched and so is his capacity to turn a 7-minute song into an addictive anthem. Not good for the algorithm but so good for the soul.

Lauryn Hill – Ex-factor
Beautiful melody and song-writing, the whole miseducation album is one of the best ever done.

Sevdaliza – Marilyn Monroe

Sevdaliza’s old songs are my favorite, her rebellious minimalism and beautiful sound design made her stand out.

Labrinth – Mount Everest

I think Euphoria’s first season’s soundtrack shaped our generation of artists on many levels, the way he samples his voice and the atmosphere he creates through his sound design are out of this world.

Black Coffee ft Mque – Come With Me

The track that made me fall in love with Afro House.

Carte Blanche – Jack On The Moon

Dj Mehdi will always remain an inspiration when it comes to making fresh sound out of old classics, his vision and talent for music really defined French approach towards electronic music.

Jungle – Happy Man
Their song-writing, top-lining and arrangement: just brilliant!

Paolo Nutini – Iron Sky
His voice gives me goosebumps every time but I love this song in particular because of its message for humanity, lyrics are essential to me and when an artist captures the flaws of our times so eloquently I’m captivated.

Youssoupha – Mon Roi
This one speaks to parenthood, adulthood and all the questions that tourment me daily and I love it because I feel less alone.

AWEN & Daniel Rateuke (D4NYO)’s ‘Hustler’ is out now on Kanté.
