Sondela Recordings continue to champion the future stars of Afro house with their latest release from South African DJ/producer Karyendasoul and LA based vocalist Zhao. Having previously remixed Zhao’s Surreal Sounds release ‘Magic’, Karyendasoul’s modern take on the Afro house sound makes a perfect match for Zhao’s dulcet voice, as seen on their Sondela debut ‘In Control’. Capturing Sondela’s Where Afro meets tech intentions, Karyendasoul’s elegant combination of futuristic synth stabs and atmospheric chords make an otherworldly backdrop to Zhao’s vocal, as traditional percussion and rhythmic drums give the record its authentic Afro sound. Another stunning release from the Sondela camp, destined for the dancefloor.

Laolu makes his Crosstown Rebels debut with ‘Now I See’, combining with Off The Meds frontman Kamohelo Khoaripe across the two-track release. 

Having emerged via his versatile and dynamic DJ sets for the likes of Circoloco, with releases via labels such as  Keinemusik, Innervisions and Anjunadeep, Swiss DJ/producer Laolu has stamped his mark while racking up  support from Dixon and Black Coffee. Arriving in fine form, he closes out November with a classy label debut on  Damian Lazarus’ renowned Crosstown Rebels as he serves up his latest two-track release ‘Now I See’ - a vibrant  and personal release shaped and finalised after a decade following the birth of his daughter. 

“‘Now I See’ is the last iteration of a demo I left untouched for over a decade. The birth of my daughter gave me the vision and clarity of mind to bring it to completion. For ‘Monday to Sunday’, I wanted to do something different and collaborate with Kamohelo Khoaripe, the frontman of Of The Meds. I loved their song ‘Belter’. It’s a bit of a curveball combining techno influences, afro vocals and a heavily distorted oriental flute.” - Laolu. 

Spirited and resonant, combining soulful female vocals with organic percussion and sweeping melodies  throughout, ‘Now I See’ is a warm and sonorous production set for heartfelt dancefloor moments, while ‘Monday  To Sunday’ featuring the impactful vocals of Kamohelo takes a darker path as swirling bass patterns, menacing  synths and warped tones merge around the commanding flute for a powerful late night cut.

I am glad to present you "1920," the debut single from my new project ARECE. This track blends powerful African tribal rhythms with striking percussion, transporting you to an era of raw energy and cultural depth. The voice echoes the spirit of the 1920s and 30s in the United States, a time when jazz and soul began to shape the world. As the song builds, the second chorus unveils a captivating saxophone, adding an extra layer of intensity while keeping the tribal essence alive. "1920" is a celebration of rhythm, history, and sound, designed to move you both physically and emotionally
