#79 Feat. Staff Picks in Afro House

Emerging from the mountains of Lesotho with a sound that transcends borders, Da Lee LS makes a powerful BFM Records debut with Electrofonk, a vibrant, groove-driven Afro House track infused with retro synth-funk and tribal influences. Rooted in Southern African tradition yet boldly forward-facing, Electrofonk is both an invitation to move and a showcase of a fresh voice reshaping the Afro-electronic landscape. Crafted with analog flair and digital precision, the track pulses with funky basslines, infectious percussion loops, and melodic textures that carry the spirit of Da Lee LSs Basotho heritage. Its a genre-spanning journey: deep enough for late-night introspection, yet dynamic enough to ignite peak-time dancefloors. The title itself speaks to his mission, electrifying Afro House with raw funk energy while keeping its soulful heartbeat intact. A rising force in African electronic music, Da Lee LS (real name Teboho Molato) has steadily built his presence through independent releases, amassing over a million streams and earning support from tastemakers worldwide. Known for blending gospel roots, street sound system energy, and contemporary club sonics, his sound is bold, melodic, and unmistakably original. With Electrofonk, he not only cements his place as one to watch but also signals the rise of artists from underrepresented regions in the global electronic scene.

Mix It Up Vol. 4 is the latest chapter in Bridges for Musics groundbreaking cross-continental series, showcasing the magic that happens when African rising stars connect with global icons. This three-track release is a bold statement of unity, creativity, and cultural storytelling through sound. The project opens with Nigerian sensation Fave on Gen Z Love, produced by Ice Beats Slide and featuring South Africas Sbuda Maleather. Effortlessly weaving Piano, Pop, Caribbean, and Hip Hop influences, the track highlights Faves award-winning songwriting as she lays bare the complexities of modern relationships with raw honesty and sweet vulnerability. UK rap heavyweight Ghetts takes the spotlight on Bad One, produced by TK Creedlion. With his trademark lyrical fire and razor-sharp wit, Ghetts unpacks themes of dating dynamics, expectations, and success. The tracks pulsating log drums and bittersweet chords provide a powerful backdrop, while Makhanjs rhythmic chants root the song firmly in African tradition. Finally, North Londons rising voice Chy Cartier delivers Jozi, a track born directly from her experiences in Johannesburg. With production by Royal MusiQ, the song blends militant snares and deep basslines with Cartiers quick-witted lyricism, including the cheeky line tough like a breakfast rusk. South African vocalist Makhanj adds a hypnotic chorus that ties together UK grit and Jozis unmistakable energy. Across these three collaborations, Mix It Up Vol. 4 proves itself as more than a compilation — its a cultural bridge. A testament to how music can transcend borders, empower new voices, and create a soundtrack for the next generation.
