Studio Bros - Ritual (Official Audio) - Benin Compilation
Out now - https://www.outnowon.com/release/various-artists-benin-compilation/
We mark 3 years of actively scouting & releasing the best African House music emerging from the continent with its talented artists. We single-handedly selected material for our second collection of sounds called 'Benin', from various artists.
The first part of our 24th release is composed of an afro-house, deep, ancestral, and highlife selection including a Kenyan original, born from a collaboration between the Malkia Band, Foozak, Dylan-S, and former Sarabi bass guitarist Lion Waceke titled, Ukaà. A Gikuyu word that translates to 'Come to me' and in the context of the song, 'Come, let's grow together in peace love, and harmony.'
Sticking to the roots and rhythms, we also pick Lisbon's Studio Bros, 'Ritual' matching closely with Freddy Da Stupid & Team Distant's 'RedZone' and South Africa's S.A.M.A award-winning DJ/Producer Sun-El Musician's 'Random', an upbeat percussion-driven house classic with ear warming guitar riffs and horns feeding an authentic highlife, afro-house direction to the first part of our second various artist's collection.
Benin also highlights our favorite Kususa cut, off the duo's extended play on our catalog, and a debut release from TmanSoul, completing side A of the compilation.
