"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.
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.

On his forthcoming single, ReiRei weaves an intricate tapestry of history, narrative and sound. Pulsating spirited rhythms, effervescent percussion and delicate riffs, "Juneteenth" is a poignant dance anthem that embodies resilience, progress and liberation. Starting off with a sinuous build up, "Juneteenth's" unwavering spirit ascends to a gratifying climax, unwinding in a vast expanse of solacing melodies and majestic resonance. Through music storytelling, 'Juneteenth' not only echoes the complexities of shared histories, but on a personal level, delves into the significance of embracing the journey behind each milestone, allowing the process itself to resonate in the outcome.

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.
