"Ponessa Musi Wango" is a dramatic and melodic Afro House reinterpretation of a true Mozambican classic — originally performed by Madala, an iconic singer from Beira, Mozambique, and first released in 1997. This new version respectfully revives a song that marked a generation, reimagining its emotional depth through a modern Afro House lens. The title "Ponessa Musi Wango" means "supporting my family" — a powerful expression of responsibility, sacrifice, and dedication to providing for loved ones. The message reflects the strength and resilience deeply rooted in Mozambican culture, where family stands at the heart of identity and purpose. For Allen, recreating this record was more than a musical project — it was a personal journey back to his childhood. The original 1997 release was part of the soundtrack of his early years, and reconnecting with it awakened strong memories, emotions, and cultural pride. Through rich melodies, dramatic arrangements, and deep Afro House rhythms, Allen bridges past and present, transforming nostalgia into a contemporary dancefloor experience. More than a remake, this version stands as a heartfelt tribute to Madala — honoring his legacy, his voice, and the timeless impact of his music on Mozambican culture. It celebrates heritage, memory, and the enduring power of music to connect generations.

Feel The Rhythm is a future-facing afro-house cut for dance floors. The bass-lines that tumble like West-African surf, interlaced with shimmering kalimba arpeggios and call-and-response vocal fragments that circle overhead like night birds. The synth-bass keeps the low end bouncing while off-beat hand-claps and filtered talking-drum fills tease the groove wider every eight bars. Mid-way, the drums strip back to a single heartbeat kick; a lone chant of Can you feel it? hangs in the air before a tidal-wave sub-bass re-enters and sends the track spiraling back to peak time. Its sun-drenched, sweat-slicked, and engineered to make you close your eyes and move on instinct.
