Here is a story written & narrated by Kenya's Akoth Jumadi on the forthcoming extended play, Seasons. Weche, produced by Under Bridges's Punk Mbedzi & Gondwana Ke's Euggy, loosely translates to issues or troubles in Dholuo.The song is a sort of lamentation of a young woman about her troublesome lover to her parents, friends and all those who care for her.She seeks to be set free from the reigns of this lover who brings only 'Weche' to her and does not uphold the promise to honour their union.

Her infectious East African strings & lead melodies drives through the drums & horns in the record, backing her rich dholuo & swahili vocals.

'Through Hey Mama we are imagining the future of how it could be - in positive ways with our emotions in the present. The song pays homage to my motherland of South Sudan and its rich cultural diversity. In it, I reference all the different states and regions with the message that 'nothing is greater than love'. - Emmanuel Jal.

Emmanuel decided to collaborate with young artist Check B after hearing his music online and noticing his unique style and flow. Check B is also a young activist who was wounded as a child in the war and now uses the arts to draw attention to peace and unity in his home country. He sings 'South Sudan is my mother, tribalism has no place, languages don't discriminate, we are all equal, no war, love is our cure.'

Jal wanted to use the collaboration and optimistic nature of the song as a vehicle to showcase the brilliant talent of young people from South Sudan and the beautiful future its people hold in their hands.

Instantly captured by the rhythmic riffs & backing vocals of the record, Gondwana Ke picked the single for the release of the extended play remix pack with cuts from from East Africa's Euggy & SURAJ, Morocco's electronic rockstar Fnx Omar & South Africa's Caiiro & Da Capo!

We mark 3 years of actively scouting & releasing the best African House music emerging from the continent with its talented artists. We single-handedly selected material for our second collection of sounds called 'Benin', from various artists.

The first part of our 24th release is composed of an afro-house, deep, ancestral, and highlife selection including a Kenyan original, born from a collaboration between the Malkia Band, Foozak, Dylan-S, and former Sarabi bass guitarist Lion Waceke titled, Ukaa. A Gikuyu word that translates to 'Come to me' and in the context of the song, 'Come, let's grow together in peace love, and harmony.'

Sticking to the roots and rhythms, we also pick Lisbon's Studio Bros, 'Ritual' matching closely with Freddy Da Stupid & Team Distant's 'RedZone' and South Africa's S.A.M.A award-winning DJ/Producer Sun-El Musician's 'Random', an upbeat percussion-driven house classic with ear warming guitar riffs and horns feeding an authentic highlife, afro-house direction to the first part of our second various artist's collection.

Benin also highlights our favorite Kususa cut, off the duo's extended play on our catalog and a debut release from TmanSoul, completing side A of the compilation.
