Here we have a tasty 4 tracker AfroHouse debut from Mozambique’s SkyWhite. ‘Zona Quente’ (meaning ‘Hot Zone’) bounces with afro rhythms and melodically hypnotic arpeggios; ‘Boogie Dance’ is a sublime slice of afrotech where tension filled menacing synths and woody rhythms combine to create a moody atmosphere; ‘Elimination+’ is a fusion of electronica and earthy tones loaded with energetic beats that chug under melancholy piano stabs and buzzing synths; and ‘Bakossi Tribe’ sees SkyWhite get creative with label mate Nero Adore and have created cinematic monster armed with power beats and brooding synthology with progressive undertones. Can’t wait to hear what’s coming next!
