Technificent (Original Mix)

EN: anisɔ - from the Akane language (native name: Akan) has its roots in the Niger-Congo language family, which means GRATITUDE.
Gratitude is one of the most important feelings in someone's life. It is a state of mind that does not only refer to good events but also to bad ones, which, for many, becomes a learning instrument. And it is this word that I bring as the theme of my first Ep. A way to thank and show GRATITUDE to all the people who have unconditionally followed my journey, and to say that it is because of you that I remain here firm and strong, transforming positive and also negative energy into what I love most, which is the music. Therefore, to all of you, Meba sɛ merebɛkyerɛ m’anisɔ (I COME TO SHOW MY GRATITUDE)

PT: anisɔ - do idioma akane (nome nativo: Akan) tem suas raízes na família de idiomas Níger-Congo, que significa GRATIDÃO. 
A gratidão é um dos sentimentos mais importantes da vida de alguém. É um estado de espírito que não se refere apenas aos bons acontecimentos mas também aos maus, na qual, por muitos se transforma em intrumento de aprendizado. E é esta palavra que trago como tema da minha primeira Ep. Uma forma de agradecer e mostrar GRATIDÃO a todas as pessoas que têm acompanhado de forma incondicional a minha trajetória, e dizer que é por vocês que continuo aqui firme e forte a transformar a energia positiva, e tambem negativa, naquilo que eu mais amo que é a musica. Portanto, a todos vocês, Meba sɛ merebɛkyerɛ m'anisɔ (VENHO DEMONSTRAR A MINHA GRATIDÃO)

Real name Yanga Zodala AKA Drega is a new face on the scene but a face that is here to stay. Signed to the Distruction Boyz record label and schooled inter art of production by Samurai Yasusa one half of super group Kususa.

Kali Koi was brought to label boss Cory Centric attention when Kususa dropped it at their 2018 Afrocentric gig in Dubai, after months tracking down the artist after one listen you can see why the effort was worthwhile. Swirling synths, boos drum programming and hard hitting snares make this a choice cut for those that like their Afro Deep and Dark.

Known to many as the godfather of the Afro Tech sound, Afrocentric Records welcomes Benny T to the label.

Benny T, also known as Benedict Mabe, is a very prominent name which has been linked with dance floor blasting electronic music bangers for the past few years. Hailing from Kanye , a village in Botswana, now residing in the capital city Gaborone , is the mastermind himself who has a brand new two tracker EP comprising of tracks Trailblazer and Lebowa, which both resemble the new
dimension of the underground Afrotech era. 

The most anticipated release is called “Trailblazer EP” and it’s surely nothing short of marvel more especially for those who follow techno/tech fused with African beats. This wonderful piece of work, carefully crafted and coated with a touch of his distinctive sound.
Supporting Trailblazer is Lebowa, delightful twinkling keys built around thundering claps and haunting insistent synths make this track a potential lead track in its own right .

Wilson Kentura needs no introduction to follows of Afrocentric Records. Responsible in 2019 for one of the standout releases on the label AR00024 - Burn The Floor, he returns with a 2 tracker which keeps the same vibe as the previous release , chunky tech inspired Afro House that no producer in the game today can make like Wilson.
Djombe -Chunky Afro at its best, intricate synth play , dirty bass lines and a breakdown to turn the floor in the frenzy , Wilson pulls no punches on this follow up to Burn the Floor. The second cut Ekungo could easily be the lead track . Razor
   
sharp snare, are used to give this acid inspired banger life, excellent variations on the lead keep the listening wanting more, and let’s not forget the subtle drum programming makes this cut another gem in Wilson’s even expanding catalogue
Djombe - Djombe & Ekungo will be released on Afrocentric Records exclusive to Traxsource on 21st February and general release on the 6th March 2020

Do we have a treat for you for our 42nd release

OxygenBuntu is a name you need to take note of , this up and coming producer is insanely  talented and we are blessed to have Soyo Soyo as the first in a trilogy of releases coming out on Afrocentric Records

The original mix is an Afro Tech monster of a groove with dark swirling strings high hitting synth’s and bone shaking percussion,all blended perfectly with the vocals man of the moment Idd Aziz’s .This will be our second release with the Kenyan maestro, on vocals and his performance as usual is outstanding. This is a journey of a track coming in 9:22 with every second made to count.
On remix duty we have drafted in another up and coming talent Gumz, with releases on Aluku Records and MoBlack, as well as he latest release featuring regularly on Black Coffee’s Lockdown sets. His remix is percussion heavy, with delicate , piano and a more downtempo dreamy feel. And ohhhhhhhh the breakdown is definitely gonna bring the dance floor into a crescendo when it drops. 

DJ Jim Mastershine (Drumatic Soul) delivers a much harder Afro tech remix with his signature “chugging” sound, tickling keys, serious sounding synth and heavy percussion, and using subtle vocal effects to really highlight Idd Aziz pleading vocals

Next up with have a new name to the game Dubai based Jacey he brings a stripped down remix built around a haunting synth line, and some heavyweight drums , topped off with some nifty key work. Watch out for this producer as you will be hearing a lot more from him.

If the 4 tracks in package  weren’t enough OxygenBuntu finishes the package off with a Club mix , full of eerie strings , a persistent droning synth and sone slamming filtered effects to top off a BOSS package

“This is one of our finest releases to date” Cory Centric

We welcome them to the Afrocentric Records with the vocal gem featuring Zano. The original mix is pure dancefloor Afro House, but when you get to the Candyman remix that's when things get exciting, a beautiful, thoughtful, musical remix keeping minimal elements from the original and adding Candyman magic dust to it . Drega takes his remix into Afro Tech town with swelling synths a dramatic build-up, keeping the listener on the edge of their seat.
