South African heavyweights Phila De Giant and Enoo Napa team up again, this time with Canadian vocalist Deniz Reno, for the "So Real" EP. The lead track "Coffee" brings brighter melodies and a stronger feel, built on solid Afro house foundations with Deniz's sultry vocals sitting perfectly in the mix. The energy is confident and direct, giving DJs a track that works across different moments in a set. "So Real" takes a darker turn, with a moodier tone and a flow that pulls you in and holds you there. Both tracks benefit from the chemistry between Enoo and Phila, whose previous collaborations like "Egypt" and "Tom & Jerry" have shown their ability to balance depth with dancefloor impact. Deniz adds a vocal layer that feels honest and present without overpowering the production. Essential for Afro house and Afro tech sets that need both light and shade.
Another powerful anthem lands on My Other Side of the Moon, this time with our well-known Joezi joining forces with Tayllor and the phenomenal voice of Mr. V. Each of them brings years of experience, chart-topping releases and a sound that's instantly recognizable on dancefloors around the world. "You're Not Alone" is a dancefloor-driven Afro House weapon, built on deep grooves, rich percussion and an emotional, uplifting message delivered by Mr. V. The chemistry between Joezi and Tayllor is clear from the first beat, blending hypnotic rhythms with soulful energy made for peak-time moments and long after-hours sessions.
'African Train' is a fascinating music trip produced by two well known DJs in Mozambique, Mr Hands & Rude, featuring the strong and passionate voice of Rhodalia Silvestre, also from Mozambique. You may want to start with the organic interpretation by Navaa, with its smooth harmonies and smart groove, which make you dream with open eyes. Then go to the original mix, for a plain afro groove and stunning afro sounds, yet with organic touches. The vocal will walk you through the history behind the song, the infamous destiny of many African mines' workers, 'deep down in the belly of the earth .. conscripted to come and work on contract in the gold and mineral mines of Johannesburg'. You can now go to the last version which completes this release, by Argento Dust. It gets definitely clubby with a strong synth and a dark and threatening atmosphere. Enjoy the trip!
