All elements of the Afro House genre are covered over the 26 tracks. Some of our personal favorites which have been road tested extensively on the Afrocentric dance floor include:

Jose Chave & Kea Zawadi with Beat of the Drum, heartfelt vocals and intricate production grace this Afro Soul gem. Candy Man's slept on Technokrat release from 2018 is remastered and sounding even more emotional than the original. Ancestral Afro is represented by Rock Final Boyz & Imvubelo Clan, with their Deep, Dark thumping , taking no prisoners on the dance floor track Izembe.


Benjy & Echo Deep keeps up the percussive pressure with Pata Pata with Benjy going all out on the bongos and showing why he is to go to percussion drummer for all things Afro.
