SMS For Location, Vol. 5

SMS For Location, Vol. 6 is our biggest journey yet—a 20-track mixtape full of the raw energy and spirit of Batida, Rumba, Singeli, Amapiano, Hip-Hop, and R&B. It’s our tribute to the dance floors that shaped us and the global sounds that inspire us—blending ancestral rhythms with bold, future-ready beats.

We teamed up with some of our favorite artists—DJ Lag, Pierre Kwenders, UNIIQU3, Branko, Vanyfox, Black Rave Culture, and more—to create something that feels both grounded and free, familiar and full of surprise.

This isn’t just a mixtape. It’s a map of our diasporic sound—a celebration of community, experimentation, and radical connection. From Southern to Eastern Africa and beyond, every track carries that Moonshine spark.

Thanks for being part of this journey. We made this for the world, and for you.

NegoO - Moonshine Residency 2023

“La Haine” is a futuristic and spacey afrobeat, where polyrhythms collide with swirling percussive patterns and deep, resonant bass. The voices of Yend and NegoO drive the track’s momentum, layering textures that feel both organic and otherworldly. Strasbourg-based multidisciplinary artist Yend, brings a vibrant, intricate vocal delivery that adds depth and dynamism. On the production side, NegoO—a Portuguese DJ and producer—infuses “La Haine” with Batida, the raw and percussive dance sound that emerged from Lisbon’s afro-diasporic club scene. Shaped by his upbringing in the neighborhoods that have fostered some of Batida’s biggest names, NegoO delivers a fresh, energetic take on the genre.


La Haine

“Monkey Effects” is pure, unfiltered release — a masterclass in building and breaking tension. DJ Lag weaves together bold rhythms, warped synths, and pulsing compression to create a high-voltage anthem that feels like a futuristic marching band on the loose. It’s a call to explore, to let go, to move without thinking twice. With every beat, “Monkey Effects” sparks that childlike instinct to play and experiment, turning the dancefloor into a space of freedom, curiosity, and raw energy.

Monkey Effects

“Moon” is a lush, hypnotic journey carried by Kelly Gomez’s smooth, angelic vocals, flowing in Portuguese, English, and French. Floating over a spacey Afrobeat groove, her voice becomes a melodic invocation to the moon — a tribute to its fragile beauty and quiet power. The track opens with a delicate piano line that sets the tone, while DJ Satelite and DJ Gálio’s rich percussion and textured production build into something that feels both intimate and expansive — a slow-burning invitation to lose yourself on the dancefloor.

Kumbele (feat. DJ Renaldo)

We’re not reinventing the wheel here, we’re just pushing it harder.

This deluxe edition adds seven new tracks to Vol. 6, built from the same mix of places that shaped us.

If Vol. 6 was the blueprint, 6.5 is the add-on you didn’t know you needed: rougher edges, more heat, more late-night energy. It’s the sound of people who grew up between cultures and decided to treat that as a strength, not a crisis.
