Leading the charge is ‘Matimba’ by DoubleDrop, Master Simz, and Healling -  a masterclass in sonic storytelling.

Sondela Sampler, Vol.2

Matimba - DoubleDrop, Master Simz & Healling

"Riddles of The Mystical World" is the latest album by the enigmatic DJ known only as Double Drop, a figure shrouded in mystery, always concealed behind a mask. This album explores the hidden, the mystical, and the uncharted, taking listeners on a journey through soundscapes that echo the unknown. In the same way that Double Drop remains unseen, so too does the album venture into the realms of the unseen and the enigmatic, drawing inspiration from history’s most elusive and fascinating tales.
"Riddles of The Mystical World" mirrors this sense of intrigue and wonder, with tracks that evoke the essence of Yasuke’s story—an exploration of identity, the collision of cultures, and the profound impact of the unknown. Just as Yasuke navigated the complex world of samurai codes and Japanese traditions, Double Drop guides listeners through a labyrinth of sounds that challenge perception and defy expectations.

MBR398: Double Drop feat. Myrandza - Avano & Mutaxo
Release Date 28.08.2020

A proponent of innovation, Afro house pioneer MoBlack Records takes the genre to greater
lengths, handing the stage over to Maputo-born DJ/Producer Double Drop to extract from his
Mozambican roots and furnish two deep-seated but forward-thinking tracks, bolstered by
Myrandza’s earth-powered vocal prowess. A mosaic of vibrant, high powered tessera of sounds,
‘Mutaxo’ revs MBR398 engine buoyantly, incorporating traditional Mozambican rhythms and
Portuguese folk into Afro House for a sultry Marrabenta-infused dancefloor experience.
Meanwhile, ‘Avano’ on B-side drifts and flutters over the soul of South Mozambique in chase of
Amapiano vibrations. Bristly percussion unlock the gateway into this dreamy promenade
suffused with soothing ambient vibes, airy synths, South African rhythms, fleeting piano
melodies and unique vocal modulations.
Artist: Double Drop
Featuring: Myrandza
Executive Producer: Mimmo Falcone

The first V.A. sampler from Hyenah’s Watergate 27 mix is ready.

The DJ/producer is a renowned tastemaker, passionate about sounds from across the house spectrum. For his addition to the Watergate mix canon, he selects an inspiring range of artists, while highlighting emerging African and Afro Deutsch talent.

Amongst the exclusive collection of tracks is Kollektive Turmstrasse’s spiralling deep melodic makeover of Adana Twin ‘Jupiter’, while Sabb & Black Circle’s ‘Vega’ brings the uplifting piano house vibes. RISE crew member JAMIIE links with Stil Vor Talent associate Niko Schwind for ‘Suwedi’, a fascinating seven-minute trip that builds drama and intrigue in equal parts thanks to the soaring string break in the break. Emmanuel Satie collaborates with vocalist Nanghiti for ‘Forever More’ a startling track that will take your breath away, as delicate pads and strings amplify the emotion from Nanghiti’s unforgettable vocal. 

The ever-reliable Sascha Braemer delivers a pearl of a track with ‘No Way’, one of those cuts made for end-of-night moments, resplendent with tear-jerker vox. Rising South African artist Da Capo contributes one of those stirring, string-laden melodic house compositions that every DJ needs. Complimenting the emotion-charged energy of the sampler, Soweto’s Fka Mash has crafted ‘Hazel’, a beautiful chord-driven addition, that still packs plenty of low-end chunk with its percussion.

Fka Mash - Hazel

Blanka Mazimela is one of South Africa’s finest rising talents to come out of dance music’s thriving afro-house scene within recent years. His unique sound has garnered much attention throughout Europe and beyond owing to his ongoing relationship with Germany’s revered Get Physical Music who most recently commissioned Mazimela to compile and mix their Africa Gets Physical Vol.3 compilation and have previously released his acclaimed EPs ‘Mpisi’ and ‘Ziduli Zetafa’ plus single ‘Phezulu’. 


The gifted Johannesburg based creative also features as one of the lead artists and producers of the Bantwanas (a collective of African producers, songwriters and musicians) and is the proud Head of Department for Soul Candi’s Institute of Music, South Africa’s most distributed music production course. 


With all of this experience under his belt, Mazimela is back with one of his best releases to date, an essential 3-track offering on Kunye - an exciting new label set-up by the afro house hero Shimza to showcase South African talent to a European audience.


The EP’s title track ‘Gengesi’ kicks things off boasting a mesmerizing tribal groove that encompasses descending marimba melodies, dramatic sound effects and arpeggiated synth elements to perfectly underpin the outstanding vocal performance provided by the talented Zimbabwe-born UK-based singer, Oluhle. 


Next, Mazimela delivers yet another stunning dancefloor-ready offering this time in the form of ‘Normli’, a powerful energy-laced afro-tech workout which incorporates a heavy electro-tinged bassline, a driving rhythm and lush breakdown chords to continue the release in style.


Last but not least, the respected Hungarian DJ/producer Sobek delivers his unique twist on ‘Gengesi’, opting to keep the original’s key elements but add an abundance of techy chord stabs, housey percussion and warp sound effects to create a slightly edgier afro-tech affair.

MBR418: Everything Counts - Mbodiene
Everything Counts takes us on a deep-seated journey to the western coast of Africa. The coastal village
of Mbodiene is at the core and fora of this picturesque three-part series, started off by the Swiss duo’s
original mix. Half Toshka, half Chris Leon, Everything Counts render quixotic soundscapes, combining
Afro-infused rhythms, earthy percussion and tribal soul into electronic ambience, by grace of melody.
Calabria’s Matt Sawyers joins us and his longtime friends with a reinterpretation of Mbodiene. Teeming
with ethnic dreaminess and soothing progressions, Matteo Cacciola’s mix is a halcyon escape to indulge
our sonic reveries. Yielding a brusque, fiery take on the original, Mozambique’s Double Drop wraps up
MBR418 with a rawer Mbodiene - warm, impassioned and rooted in the rich, resonant grounding of our
mother continent. In this 20:54 minute flight, we dance our way to the destination, and alas, we can just
keep going there.

MBR423: Diamond Dealer ft. Dorothy Masuka - Sophiatown Tribute (EP)

Diamond Dealer has been making waves in the South African house music scene, whether on
decks or in the studio, and we've had our eye on him for a while now. For his debut on MoBlack
Records, the DJ from Bloemfontein pays tribute to the fateful Johannesburg suburb, with
remixes by Durban pride Enoo Napa and Mpumalanga's crowd pleasing wonder, Caiiro. Marking
66 years since the demise of Sophiatown, and 15th year since the restoration of its name, the
Kimberley born producer builds upon the lyrics of Strike David Vilakazi's outwardly upbeat,
anti-Apartheid protest anthem that helped define the beat of a burgeoning defiance. Sang by
none other than the late legend, Dorothy Masuka, excerpted from her cover of 'Meadowlands,
originally sung by Nancy Jacobs and Her Sisters from the midst of displacement and steadfast
resistance against it, the lyrics at the heart of this Sophiatown Tribute harness pain from a
struggle against reality to concoct the remedy for healing through sound.
Sophiatown Tribute is a vibrant melange of unique elements, rife with rich African sounds, tribal
groove, and forward-thinking digital nuances. Coddling Dorothy Masuka's verses in moist sonic
undulations, the original mix exudes a certain dampness, soaking emotions in harmonic
buoyance. Enoo Napa's complex artistic finesse casts an elegant dub remix of the Tribute. Dark
afro tech, looming ambience and synth-based melodics drive this sublime tour de force that has
us itching for a gleam off a strobe light on a pitch black dancefloor at wee hours of the night.
Masuka's vocals, though curtailed, remain prominent and affective, emitting ample sentiment to
ravel time and get lost in its rhythm. Caiiro yields his unique, textured dub re-work, juxtaposing
cross-grained percussion with electronic tweaks on an acidic incline. Searing hi-hats flow with
inquisitive acoustics that waft Dorothy Masuka's protracted vocals in fleeting melodies and a
simple rhythm that seems to make everything feel right. Wrapping up the EP, an Instrumental
Mix makes sacred space out of the absence of vocals. Dorothy Masuka might no longer be
speaking, but we feel her. A radio edit completes the series.
