We welcome Moish to the Afrocentric Records family. He graces use with a subtle emotive afro track featuring the dulcet tones of Angelic .

Suspenseful swirling synths and understated percussion are the order of the day



The track is entitled Ubuhlungu meaning Painful.



In the words of Angelic



"Ubuhlungu is about the pain and the struggle am facing

I've been praying for a better life but my life still the same my heart is Broken & there's no happiness at all "

Get Physical Music serves up a final EP taken from Thandi Draai's standout Africa Gets Physical Vol. 4 compilation, due for release in January 2022.

The mix is an in-depth and authoritative insight into the current African house scene and its major players. It has been assembled by a leading voice, Thandi Draai, and features a number of the vocalist's own tracks. But first comes this five-track Various Artists EP.

Khensy & Cuebur open up with 'Huwelelani,' an epic, seven-minute spiritual awakening. The vocals stir your soul, the deep-rooted drums are earthy and tribal and the synths bring cosmic rays of light. Atmos Blaq is next up with a remix of Thandi Draai's 'Iris' which is a chunky roller with a late-night sense of mischief. Whispered vocals lend the track a sense of intimacy despite the grandeur of the synths. Shona SA & Sazi Cele's 'Sekukude' keeps the spine-tingling deep house sounds rolling with more exquisite pads and Afro vocals all unfolding next to thoughtful chords.

Un_nown & Zikhona link up to great effect on 'Sikelela' which layers shiny and loopy synths in with tribal percussion and pounding kicks that get you marching. Another deeply affecting vocal lights up the whole track and last of all comes Drega & Maline Aura's 'Mama Dear.' There is a beauty to the deftness of the synths and dreamy melodies of this one that sends you off in a loved-up reverie, full of hope and optimism.

This EP shows that the South African scene has never been more vibrant than it is now.

Born and raised in South Africa, Drega epitomises the rich, compelling sound of his hometown in each intricate production. Now making his mark on Sondela, Drega levels up with new track ‘Vela’, featuring the hypnotic vocal of Maline Aura who narrates this magnetic release. Having teamed up previously for tracks like ‘Mama Dear’ in 2021, they’ve hit the nail on the househead here. Amid a movement where Afro-influenced house music is reaching new heights, this collaboration delivers impressive results with its subtle percussion and melody.
