Mozambique's Sky White reveals his highly anticipated debut album, 'Crossing Borders', on Afrocentric Records. Already turning heads with his own distinctive sound over the past few years, 'Crossing Borders' showcases Sky White's impressive talent for penning raw emotive melodies, where songs and beautifully crafted soundscapes join the dots between Melodic Techno and Afro Tech. The album features some fantastic collaborations with the likes SANDHAUS, Xtetiqsoul & Amel Chrispin, De Cave Man & Tonic Volts, and Kates Le Café, alongside magnetic vocal talents such as Kastro, Vaipatri, and Ronnie Tanny. Across this 14 track story you'll discover a bold and colourful spectrum of contemporary afrocentric sounds, where haunting, melancholy and heartfelt melodies pirouette around powerful and dramatic dance floor ready grooves.



Lenilson Dos Santos, aka Sky White, is a Producer, Dj and Mozambican Remixer. Starting his musical journey learning the piano at the age of 10, he began playing House Music at just 16 years old, after watching Black Coffee's Ballantine's Human Orchestra in 2014 and promptly learned to DJ. He honed his craft by spinning at local parties and events, before producing a selection of his own productions that were promptly signed by Afrocentric Records in 2018, His productions for Afrocentric and other labels such as Guettoz Muzik, My Other Side of the Moon and Xibalo, among others have won the support from both the Afro house and melodic tech DJs alike, including Black Coffee, Tale Of Us, Themba, Ralf GUM, DJeff, Da Capo, Enoo Napa, and XtetiQsoul. 2023 is looking exciting for Sky White as his debut album 'Crossing Borders' will be released, and will be playing many events across Mozambique and South Africa club and festival circuits.

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

Afrocentric Records / AR00038 https://soundcloud.com/werafrocentric https://www.facebook.com/afrocentricrecords/ http://www.werafrocentric.com/

The instrumental of Zulu spear was sent to label head Cory Centric last year. He engaged the talents of the one of the hottest vocalist in the Afro House scene Idd Aziz, and here you have it a super cut of Deep Afro Tech House.
Enlisting the remixing talents of SA’s finest Candyman and also blessing the release with a remix under his Pryor guise. This is a package not to slept on.
   
Zulu Speak - Original Mix : Starting life as a hot instrumental which featured heavily in the sets of a number leading SA DJ’s . Dark base lines, thumping kicks , and syncopated drums , keeping you on the edge with a dark and devious synth line. Add Idd Aziz emotive vocals to the mix and you have sure fire dance floor drama.
Zulu Spear - Pryor Remix : Taking it up a notch the Pryor remix goes in hard with a remix built around hypnotic percussion , space effects, and rising synth into a vocal lead breakdown.
Zulu Spear - Candyman Remix - Taken directly from the Candyman Afro Tech template this mix hits in all the right places, highlighting Candyman style shuffling drums, subtle synth lines, and a re-org of the vocals the give this mix a firmer dance floor feel.

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.

Established in 2005 Centric Music was born from the frustration of two friends, fed up of not hearing consis"After running Centric Music for 7 years I started Afrocentric Records with the aim of showcasing some of the high quality house music coming out of the African Continent, which I feel is too easily lost in the stacks of new music being released. I want to provide a platform for these talented producers and artist’s to expose them to a wider audience by releasing their music across the world in Digital and vinyl format as well as getting selected tracks remixed by producers who you don’t usually associate with the Afro house Genre." - Cory Centric
