    Following the success of its first chapter, MoBlack Records unveils The Legacy — All Time Best Sellers Vol. 2, a new collection celebrating the labels most defining cuts across continents and generations. Where Volume 1 mapped the foundations of MoBlacks cultural footprint, Volume 2 expands the vision—bridging ancestral traditions, modern club energy, and genre-shaping collaborations that continue to resonate on dancefloors worldwide. The journey opens with Enzo Siffredi & MoBlack ft. Mariam Zawose — Shikiria Day Mix, a vibrant fusion of Tanzanian heritage and crisp rhythmic architecture, followed by the sharp, indie-infused groove of Jamek Ortega, Maxi Meraki & Samm (BE) — Dont Care Anymore, a track built on seductive hooks and carefree swagger. Sparrow & Barbossa, Nomvula SA — Amore Profondo Caiiro Remix delivers a spiritual, melodic ascent, while Dear Humans — Kidogo Armonica Remix dives into emotional, percussive storytelling. The compilation continues pushing boundaries. Faros — Feeling You blends soulful vocals with fluid, late-night momentum, while Sun Ra — Door Of The Cosmos Armonica Cosmos Mix reimagines cosmic jazz into a transcendental club experience—an ode to musical lineage reborn through contemporary electronic language. Ankhoï — Hallelujah, Jamek Ortega & JUNO (DE) — Ojos Verdes, and Victor Alc — Sudamérica each showcase MoBlacks commitment to hybrid identities: Latin roots, global rhythms, and future-facing production. Cross-cultural collaborations take center stage with Lokkhi Terra meets Dele Sosimi — Afro Sambroso SEQU3L Remix, a joyful convergence of Afrobeat, Cuban swing, and dancefloor dynamism. Bonga — Mona Ki Ngi Xica Everything Counts Remix brings a new dimension to a timeless classic, while Nyaruach — Gatluak Nandu Remix channels raw emotion into pulsating club tension. Peak-time precision arrives through Sebjak & Fahlberg — Different Worlds, the cinematic drive of Kadosh (IL) ft. Moodintrigo, Melödisch — Never Too Late, and the hypnotic brass-led groove of NonCitizens — Lost Trumpet In Space. Rhythm stays front and center with DJ Qness & Lizwi — Umkhehlo and Fahlberg — The Light, both crafted for expansive, emotive sets. The closing arc pays tribute to musical ancestry with Dele Sosimi — Turbulent Times Armonica Remix, a powerful blend of Afrobeat legacy and melodic atmosphere. The final stretch lands with percussive fire—DJ Habias feat. Baixinho Requentado — Quadradinho (Afro)—and Blanka Mazimela ft. Khonaye — Thula, a soulful, cathartic finale carrying warmth, resolve, and modern tribal essence. The Legacy — All Time Best Sellers Vol. 2 isnt just a follow-up—its a statement of continuity. A living catalogue of stories, voices, rhythms, and moments that define MoBlacks impact on modern electronic music, built through global collaborations and an unwavering commitment to cultural depth and dancefloor power.

  • Clarke
    BeatTracker #80 Feat. Staff Picks in Afro House

    Cape Town producers Rudy Julius and Blanka Mazimela collaborate with German electronic artist Frank Wiedemann and vocalist Xolisiwe on Clarke, an emotive Afro-House record born from a unique moment of mentorship and creative exchange at Bridges For Music Academy. The project began when Frank visited the academy and connected with Rudy Julius, whose curiosity and dedication to music sparked an idea for a cross-continental collaboration. Rudy developed the initial concept and shared it with Blanka Mazimela, who added his signature Afro-House groove and production textures. The track was then elevated by the soulful vocal performance of Xolisiwe, bringing warmth and emotional depth to the composition. Named after Rudy's home area, Clarke carries a deeper story. A place often associated with hardship and crime becomes, through music, a symbol of resilience, creativity, and transformation. The track reflects the power of mentorship, collaboration, and cultural exchange — a meeting point between local South African talent and international electronic music. Released on BFM Records, Clarke blends Afro-House rhythms, cinematic sound design, and soulful storytelling, capturing the spirit of Cape Town's evolving electronic scene while reaching toward global dance floors.
