Oluhle, MoBlack, Zamna Soundsystem
"Kumeleli" brings MoBlack together with Zamna Soundsystem in a piece that moves with quiet insistence, unfolding on fertile ground. Built on Afro house foundations, the track draws on intuitive rhythms and instinctive textures that feel rooted in landscape and ritual. Striking piano lines cut through with clarity, shaping fluid climaxes that rise and fall naturally. Oluhle's fervent voice carries the melodies forward, moving between hushed intensity and open, airy release. Fleeting synth layers flash across the arrangement, adding color and contrast while keeping the mood enigmatic yet vibrant, as an angelic chorus weaves quietly through the track. There's a gentle continuity beneath the surface-never rushed, never fixed-where earthy percussion and open atmospheres coexist. Like the world it evokes, the music keeps moving as it grows, rooted, present and quietly alive. Artwork by Rachael D'Alessandro. Words by Marie Floro. Mastering by Wave Life Studio.

With The Legacy — All Time Best Sellers Vol. 4, MoBlack Records shifts the focus from compilation to conversation. This fourth chapter is not about revisiting hits, but about tracing the invisible lines that connect cultures, voices and rhythms across continents and generations. It is a collection built on movement, memory and musical dialogue. From the atmospheric tension of "Burlan" and "Elysian" to the raw, percussive drive of "Mabudede" (Kususa Remix) and "Manoo Remix", the album moves freely between introspection and physical energy. Vocal-led moments like "Aisa" (FNX Omar Remix), "O Pa Mi Titi Deabe" (Armonica Remix) and "Ilanga" bring human warmth to the foreground, while tracks such as "Creatures", "Mandinka Woman" and "Saana Yoo Ma" explore deeper, more spiritual territories. Several collaborations stand as cultural bridges rather than simple features. "Clareou", "Can Soleil" and "Kukaya" (Fka Mash Remix) blend regional identities into a shared language made for modern dancefloors. Later, cuts like "Amaya", "Zimbabwe" (Kintar Remix) and "Road to Nowhere" push the narrative forward with bold textures and restless momentum. The closing stretch, led by "Candela" and "Mi Amor", leaves space for reflection as much as release, reminding listeners that groove and emotion are never separate worlds. The Legacy Vol. 4 does not look back for nostalgia. It looks outward. It documents how global electronic music continues to evolve through collaboration, respect for roots, and the courage to experiment. A chapter shaped by instinct, experience and the belief that rhythm is still one of the strongest forms of connection we have.

Its a composition built on a foundation of fearless vocal delivery, threaded with synthesizers that feel like shards of light cutting through the dark. The bassline is less a note and more a tectonic event, reshaping the atmosphere of any space it commands. This is the philosophy of the track: a calculated, euphoric madness, a surrender to rhythm that feels both primal and polished.

Gabriel Adnar
A quiet dawn over clay-walled structures. Shadows of soft percussion are lying on the ground in an even pattern, like the first rays on parched grass. Voices are interlaced with the midday heat and the coolness of clay pitchers; they echo one another, creating a pattern, light and intricate, like fingerprints in wet clay. A bass flow - warm and deep, like freshly tilled earth. Synthesizers spread like a light haze over the horizon, shimmering like the air above heated stones. Here there is silence between the notes, a space where ancestral echoes dwell, and a fluid movement born from the very tread of the day on a dusty village square
Themba, MoIsh, Kali Mija, Vasilis
With All Gone, Themba, Moish, and Vasilis converge around a blossoming groove that unfolds with patience. Tender, understated riffs lift Kali Mijas vocal, allowing its vulnerability to sit close to the rhythm. Elegant synths and expanding oscillations move in subtle circular motion, giving the track a quiet sense of momentum. A soft piano line drifts in, adding sentiment without tipping into nostalgia. Theres a lingering, almost liquid quality to the sound, as tones stretch and dissolve into one another. Impactful reverb creates space and depth, letting each element breathe while sustaining tension. This reinterpretation of All Gone sits between presence and absence, unfolding into a late-night atmosphere shaped by intimacy, movement, and intention. Artwork by Rachael DAlessandro.

Maxic
Old School is a tribute to where my journey began. I fell in love with DJing in the era of CDs — when every transition mattered, when you felt the music with your hands, not just your eyes. This track is driven by nostalgia. A longing for a time when the industry felt more real, more human, and when DJs were deeply connected to the process, the crowd, and the moment. Today everything is faster and easier, but some of that raw emotion has faded. Old School captures that feeling through an energetic yet melancholic Afro House groove, a soulful piano melody, and vocals inspired by the sound of an earlier era. Its not about the past — its about the emotion that never left.
Cuboa

Driven by pulsating tribal percussion, deep rolling basslines, and shadowy textures, the track creates an intense and ritualistic atmosphere. The Arabic vocals, haunting and spiritual, flow seamlessly through the groove, pulling the listener into a mystical, late-night dimension. Produced by Cuboa, this release blends Afro, deep, and dark influences into a powerful, modern sound designed for underground clubs and immersive dancefloors, where rhythm turns into trance and time fades away.

Robytek, Simon Pagliari
Amerika finds Robytek and Simon Pagliara moving instinctively, letting rhythm, emotion, and atmosphere lead the way. Enigmatic Spanish vocals surface and dissolve through lush, natural grooves, carrying a quiet sense of memory and longing. The drumming feels intuitive, almost conversational, while kaleidoscopic melodies fold inward: introspective, hypnotic and alive. Halfway through, a persistent undercurrent begins to push the track forward, subtly opening its pace and shifting its energy toward something warmer and more tangible. Strings arrive unannounced, soft yet charged, threading themselves through organic textures and natural sound. The result is a piece that breathes and unfolds with intention, drawing a fluid line between movement and reflection, where the physical and the spiritual quietly coexist.
