Africa has come far, musically speaking. Gone are the days when we couldn't appreciate our own tunes and were so focused on western music. African music trends have grown and well as a deejay, i have to grow with it.
After being in multiple "blankets and wine" events and listening to the music they had, i set aside time to get in tune with music from my own continent. For the past few weeks Ive been listening to Afro-House music, Afro-Dance music and Kwaito and i have to say, pretty amazing! At first i didn't think it was my cup of tea (don't blame me for being clouded judgement) but now. . .damn! So now, whatever i have, i have to give to my fans,though i didn't know exactly how to do that without losing myself. . .then it hit me! Why not combine my new found addiction with my specialty i.e afro house afro dance combined with tech house and electro dance music!
Africa Electrified was the offspring. A blend of afro tunes together with tech house and edm. I'm not sure if i nailed it as i hadn't attempted to do such a thing before. . but oh well, i guess ill have to wait to find out from you!
Stay tuned, the mix-tape goes live online this Friday then you can download it from there and give me constructive criticism.
Stay Inspired
Stay Blessed
