John Cacciatore, Oscar P - Jungle Love

Layering vigorous drums and vibrant instrumentals, Jackson Brainwave returns on MoBlack with "Furahini." Slathering earthy elements, tribal plangencies and kaleidoscopic chromas, the South African artist renders four unique interpretations of his title track. First up, the fiery original brims with aromatic mystique, buoyant vocals, and lush Afro rhythms. Followed by an Instrumental version that omits lyrics to allow resonance to steep deep. Intricate and visceral drumming flourish in the Beats remix and onto a Stripped mix for a meaningful, intuitive finish.

Hailing from the small village of Kanye, Botswana, but now currently based in the capital city of Garborone, Benny T has taken inspiration from both village and city living, fusing Afro rhythms with house music across his growing catalogue of releases. Having joined the Sondela imprint with a two track EP 'Black Technology' in 2021, Benny's follow-up opens with the unadulterated euphoria of 'Voices From The Dark Forest', while 'Abednico's Song' serves as a tribute to his brother Abednico Thero Malepa, who played a huge role in his musical career. Both tracks highlight Benny T's signature elevating pads with a sea of strings and subtle crescendo; making the release a truly identifiable creation and one that is reflective of his Tswana roots.
