#36 Feat. Staff Picks in Afro House

Iziki kicks off the year with a heavy all-stars release — Native P., Rex Stax, and Idd Aziz, all rolled into one fat blunt. Kenyas pride Idd Aziz needs no introduction, having shaped the sound and soul of afro-house for over a decade. On Barua, his iconic voice locks in perfectly with the darker, tribal textures. Germanys Rex Stax and Greeces Native P. are both true champions of the modern tribal-tech movement, and here they join forces for full effect. On the flip, Albanian producer ELIŌ carries the energy forward, diving deep with playful synths and hypnotic grooves that pull you into a trippy, late-night ride. Lighters up, fire away!
