New York based DJ & producer, Francis Mercier aka Emvafaya, has utilised his vastly cultured and seasoned understanding of house music to produce and perform different facets of deep, melodic, and tech-house melded with afro, soul, and disco influences. His ‘Bolingo Nanga’ feat. Bibi Den’s Tshibayi track was one of the highlights on ABRACADABRA’s ‘Human Nature’ compilation album on initial release back in April of this year, and now gets a full single release, backed with remixes from two of the scene’s hottest tickets, Nico de Andrea and Nitefreak. Mercier explains more about the gestation of the song…

“On my last European Tour back in Feb 2020, I had a chance to meet some established African vocalists and musicians such as Magic System, Kanda Bongo Man, Amadou & Mariam, and others, one of which was Bibi Den’s Tshibayi who was at his prime in the late 80s. I always had an affinity for Bibi’s unique, and emotive tone, and upon meeting him in Paris at my performance at Radio FG we clicked and his positive energy impacted me on day one. He really loved my set and simply couldn’t stop dancing and requested that I sent him some beats.”

“As such, upon returning to the US, I sent Bibi the musical backing idea and without any surprise, I received his bone-chilling vocal stems. I immediately went to work, spending early mornings and late nights creating what can be heard right now. This being during prime Covid, the lockdown and the prevention of me performing as much as I normally would have been during this time allowed me to sit down and be remotely available to work with Bibi between New York City and Paris. This project being my first authentic afro house record, with a strong message of Love (which is what “Bolingo Nanga” means), has a deep-seated meaning for me, and will always remain the catalyst and inspiration to have me continue down this beautiful path of afro house music.”

Cameron Jack teams up with Stones & Bones to deliver something truly special with their collaborative single ‘Ancestral Praise’ featuring Reine Mash.

The single sees London born Cameron Jack follow on from a slew of successful releases with ABRACADABRA, as well as a remix for Damian Lazarus’ iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint. South African duo Stones & Bones have been busy themselves, with their self-described “Afro-Rock” sound finding homes on labels such as Merecumbe Recordings, Movement Limited and Spitfire Music.

Cameron explains; “Casper and KG (Stones & Bones) reached out asking if I wanted to collaborate on one of their records for their latest release. They sent me a selection of really nice tracks to pick from. The minute I heard the vocal on Ancestral Praise I knew it was the one. I love working with uplifting vocals like this. Music for the soul!”

Next up on Sondela is the spectacular Nitefreak remix of the beloved Sondela classic, ‘Ezizweni,' by Hyenah featuring DJ Tira & Luke Ntombela - that is born from sheer emotion and authenticity.

From the moment the first note hits, listeners are locked into a groove that pulses with intensity and depth. For Nitefreak, the magic lies in the build-up to the drop, where the song reaches its crescendo and unleashes its full potential - a moment of pure euphoria where every beat is felt deep within the soul.

In creating this remix, Nitefreak's approach was simple yet effective, letting the vocals be the guiding light for him - allowing them to dictate the direction of the track. The result is a harmonious fusion of past and present, as the remix fulfils its task of paying homage to the original while carving out a space of its own.

In his forthcoming single, French artist Faros delves into the subtle intricacies of human connection. 'Feeling You' captures the gentle pull of attraction, delicately wavering between fantasy and the first whiffs of something deeper. The track weaves a cocoon of tuneful melodies and mesmerizing rhythms, as its sensual lyrics unfold secrets of a heart quietly ensnared by enchantment. A stirring resonance imbues the track with a layer of dreaminess, crafting a soundscape that mirrors the initial highs of affection and the nuanced ebbs and flows of emerging feelings. Each climax is intricately designed to evoke profound emotions and graceful movement, making 'Feeling You' a rhythmic ode to the exhilarating thrill of newfound love.
