MBR448: Diamond Dealer Feat Tabia - Mbali'nhle

Diamond Dealer is back on MoBlack Records with the inflorescent 'Mbali'nhle' EP, along with fellow South African artists Atmos Blaq and Caiiro on remix duties. Inspired by the DJ/Producer's daughter and breathed to life by South African songstress Tabia's vocal prowess, MBR448 transcends into deep dimensions mired with sonic intricacies and diffusive ambiance. First up, the original ushers in 
percussive groove, dreamy melodies and textured progressions, projecting soundscapes that feel three-dimensional. Laddling in mesmerizing rhythms, grainy percussion and moist synthetic undulations that cohere harmoniously, the fertile 'Mbali'nhle' suavely permeates. Blossoming within and respiring as motion, this 7:48 minute journey lauds the sacredness of innocence and feminine energy. Soweto's self-taught up and comer Atmos Blaq proves his mettle yet again, yielding a compelling Afro-tech inspired reinterpretation of "Mbali'nhle." Coalescing poignant instrumentals, metallic grittiness and innovative electronic metiers, this climactic 
voyage immerses in a wide range of emotions. Tested with an emphatic mid-track interlude, the remix upholds as a true dancefloor reckoning with massive affective potential and mental suffusion. Wrapping up the trio is a visceral interpretation from Mpumalanga's Caiiro, whose dynamic chemistry with Diamond Dealer dazzles in 
this follow-up collaboration. Sustaining Tabia's vocals afloat with robust rhythms and tribal alchemy, this finale treads on an elevated incline, into an elaborate convective expanse of lush sounds and prisma - a true beauty to hear, see and feel unravel.

MoBlack convenes with Gran Canarian artist Juan Soul for the label's latest imprint. The duo's 'Mtna' EP features four unique interpretations, starting off with a solid and well-balanced remix by MoBlack himself. Careening 'Mtna's' effusive vocals with impressive basslines, mesmeric beat patterns and permeating electronic touches, this versatile track is sure to rouse a broad array of dancefloors. Up next, South Africa's Da Capo succeeds with a delicately budding rendition that amplifies Mtna's rhythmic poetry through the beauty of progression and resonance. Caiiro takes over the latter half of MBR526, delivering first a bustling remix that gleams with orbicular Afro rhythms, intuitive percussion and winds of celestial riffs. His 'Redemption Remix' wraps up the saga with stunning soundscapes, casting an introspective and nourishing sonic journey through deep pulses, plangent climaxes and transcendent innuendos.

Traxsource Release: 25th April 2019
Worldwide Release: 9th May 2019

Enoo Napa is the craftsman who made this fantastic Ep that has an aggressive afro house mood and the right dark touch. 'Elements Ep' is an interesting release that contains 3 deadly tracks that will not disappoint the expectations of your dancefloor.
'Monsters & Aliens' is a very suggestive and hypnotic track. The intro with percussive base becomes terrifying after the first minute thanks to the appearance of a very impressive electronic synth. The central break is a whirlwind that will hold everything in suspense and then start again giving off unrivaled power.
'They Are Coming' has a fluid rhythm, surrounded by a low heat and particular melodies of electronic synths. The track is a constant crescendo and psychedelic evolutions. A majestic track.
'Through Time & Space' has a much more sunny pace and more open sounds. The percussion accompany everything in a refined but not too soft. Also here are some hints of electronic synths. The melody of strings that enters with arrogance in the piece gives thickness and greatness to the whole complex. The second half is characterized by a very sharp and effective lap of the piano. This package can not miss in your repertoire, the dancefloor will thank you.

The hugely talented Thandi Draai makes her debut on Get Physical this May, delivering her new single ’Iris’ with DJ Clock, Karyendasoul and Cuebur remixes. 

DJ, producer and gifted vocalist Thandi Draai, has established herself as a true rising star, with music released via the likes of Soulistic, Soul Candi and Defected. This independent artist’s dreams became a reality when she moved to Johannesburg and made it to the semi-finals on South Africa’s ’1s and 2s’ DJ-producer TV show. Draai continues to build her impressive discography by making her debut on Get Physical with the stellar ’Iris’, backed with remixes from afro-house master DJ Clock, Karyendasoul and Cueber. 

Captivating opener ’Iris’ is a work of electronic art, fueled by Thandi Draai’s elegant vocals set against eerie synths and soaring high frequency elements. First of the remixes sees DJ Clock’s deliver a deep and dubby cut, with jazz-tinged percussion accompanied by hypnotic snares and delicate keys to reveal a chilled, after-hours production. 

Karyendasoul’s eclectic remix harnesses swirling melodies, broken drum patterns and sci-fi vibrations to reveal an outer-space styled hit, before Cuebur’s remix finishes things off with delicate percussion and warm bass motifs which make for a hazy track that completes an impressive package.

[PREMIERE] > Thandi Draai - Iris (Karyendasoul Mix) [Get Physical]

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
