This next collaboration comes from DJ and producer, Shona. This is our first submission using the beats from the Ekhunjwe Musical Group, and we love how this music has been transformed from traditional dance accompaniment, to a house track that you could hear in any major club this summer!
"It was a thrilling and humbling honor working on those chants and complimenting the groove of my ancestors. Because this is a sound I'm familiar with and a culture I come from meant all emotions were high on the programming of this song. I added a few Techno elements still maintaining the Afro House percussion and groove to compliment the sample. The chord progression was the last touch as it also gave the record color and vibe."
