Sondela returns with Sampler Vol. 3, another club-focused selection spotlighting five rising artists shaping the next wave of Afro-electronic sound. From cinematic textures to deeply soulful storytelling, each track brings its own pulse to the dancefloor.

ISIKO & Da Africa Deep open with Burning Bright, a powerful journey of self-trust and emotional release, led by haunting vocals and rich, layered melodies. Renacer by Breyth follows with a rebirth of energy through hypnotic rhythm and a standout bassline built for the floor. Umthandazo by ZVRI & Thami The Unknown featuring Natasha Md is a spiritual call—blending vulnerability and divine connection through heartfelt lyrics and dynamic instrumentation. KingDonna’s Umgido bursts with rhythm and celebration, channelling African roots through bold, uplifting grooves. Closing the sampler is Dubfire by Percyslash—a cinematic Afro House cut where melancholic strings meet punchy drums, creating a sound both reflective and driving.

Sondela Sampler Vol. 3

Luz Da Tarde - Yamil [SONDE071]

Sondela Recordings continue to champion the future stars of Afro house with their latest release from South African DJ/producer Karyendasoul and LA based vocalist Zhao. Having previously remixed Zhao’s Surreal Sounds release ‘Magic’, Karyendasoul’s modern take on the Afro house sound makes a perfect match for Zhao’s dulcet voice, as seen on their Sondela debut ‘In Control’. Capturing Sondela’s Where Afro meets tech intentions, Karyendasoul’s elegant combination of futuristic synth stabs and atmospheric chords make an otherworldly backdrop to Zhao’s vocal, as traditional percussion and rhythmic drums give the record its authentic Afro sound. Another stunning release from the Sondela camp, destined for the dancefloor.

Tension builds in the intro to ‘Champagne’, before the nagging vocal drops in. A piano counters a sinister synthy undertone, giving a great contrast of light and dark. It’s an afro journey that’s perfect for peak-time. Heads down, locked in the groove.

The opening track, "Olha Você," which translates to "Look at you" in Portuguese, throws down a gritty groove with a unique and positive twist. The story behind this infectious banger is as unexpected as the sound itself. Inspired by a heated exchange between his neighbor and their child, Sky White isolated the "Olha Você" part, infusing it with infectious energy. The result? A guaranteed dance floor anthem. Supported by Shimza, Kasango, Bun Xapa and Sona.

Celebrating Sondela Recordings’ milestone tenth release of the year, Da Capo steps up to infuse our chart-topping anthem ‘Champagne’ by Sammi Ferrer & Chaleee with his unmistakable magic.

A household name on the scene, Da Capo unleashes yet another masterpiece as part of his legendary ‘Da Capo Fridays’ remix series, and brings about a familiar deep and menacing energy to the original while adding his distinct flavour and groove. Similarly to the original, tension builds, before the nagging vocal drops in - and it continues building throughout, constantly taking listeners higher and higher. It’s another afro journey perfect for the peak-time.

This is not just a remix; ‘Champagne’ calls for a celebration. And it’s an immersive experience that will leave you craving more.

Next up on Sondela Recordings, AVG debuts with ‘Night League,’ a two-track single celebrating the unsung heroes of nightlife—promoters, DJs, dancers, and crews who keep the underground spirit alive.  

Inspired by spontaneous raves in remote locations, where even police interventions couldn’t stop the energy, AVG channels those moments into the title track. With dynamic vocal chops, siren-like sounds, and distant shouts, ‘Night League’ pulls listeners straight into the action.  

For ‘Discover,’ AVG embraces a ‘less is more’ approach, keeping the production raw and authentic. A wicked bassline, iconic synth stabs, and his signature drum groove create an unforgettable dancefloor experience.  

With previous releases on Kitty Amor’s Mahaba Music and a rework of Madala Kunene’s ‘Konko Man,’ AVG is quickly emerging as one of the industry’s most exciting prospects.

Making their Sondela Recordings debut, DJ/Producer Gil Bokobza and Nairobi-born vocalist and songwriter Tina Ardor present ‘Play With My Heart’—a deeply emotive and personal song. Tina’s lyrics explore the painful clarity that comes from being strung along, capturing the moment you choose yourself over uncertainty. It’s a song about reclaiming power after waiting too long for answers.  

Known for his distinctive blend of Afro-infused house and melodic depth, Gil creates a hypnotic groove grounded by warm piano chords and atmospheric tension. Tina, one of East Africa’s rising voices in electronic music, delivers a performance that is both tender and fierce, giving the track its emotional core.  

Balancing vulnerability with strength, and melancholy with movement, ‘Play With My Heart’ is a powerful moment from two artists making waves on their own terms.

Belgium’s rising star Aytiwan and Burundi-born vocalist Starving Yet Full make their Sondela Recordings debut with ‘Ndoto’, a powerful anthem rooted in hope and ambition. Sung in Kinyarwanda, ‘Ndoto’ is an affirmation to dream big, work hard, and pursue your goals—capturing the spirit of resilience and self-belief.  

Aytiwan’s global momentum continues to rise, with Kususa’s remix of his track ‘Iphathi’ becoming a scene staple, heavily supported by Black Coffee and many more across premier stages. Starving Yet Full, celebrated for collaborations with Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, and Tensnake, brings his unmistakable soul and emotional depth to the project.  

Chaleee, returning to Sondela after previous successes, flips Ndoto into a powerful club anthem, designed to ignite dancefloors while keeping the song’s uplifting message alive.

Portuguese producer Meith and Angola’s Homeboyz join forces for ‘Zonga Kuna’, a high-impact cut built for the club. Featuring the distinctive voice of Mr Drackson, the track draws its name from Lingala, translating loosely to “go back there” or “return there”—a phrase that adds urgency, tension, and a spiritual undertone to the hypnotic groove.

Mr Drackson’s commanding vocal presence gives the track its emotional core—soulful, urgent, and undeniably powerful. His delivery resonates deeply, capturing the spirit of movement and connection that defines Afro-house music at its best.

Each time it hits the dancefloor, ‘Zonga Kuna’ captives audiences from the first vocal - commanding attention and holding energy while it invites listeners into its world. It’s a track designed not just to move bodies, but to stir something deeper.
