Various Artists – Moblack Sampler Vol. 4

With continued support from the likes of Ame, Dixon, Solomun and Black Coffee it’s no wonder MoBlack are regarded as the number one afro house label around. For volume 4 of their sampler series they’re back with another set of timeless afro-infused cuts, all harnessing that deep and powerful punch that the label has become known for. The A side begins with a massive Kususa remix of De Cave Man & TonicVolts feat. Toshi – ‘Mabudede’ – a brooding electronic number with buzzed synths and celestial vocals that will shake the walls of any club it’s set before. This leads perfectly into the big room bongo stomper from Max Doblhoff, ‘Mama Jo’ remixed by Sobek and featuring Nairobi’s very own Idd Aziz. On the flip, Santiago Garcia unleashes a swirling synth heavy remix of Stones & Bones – ‘Masambe’ starring the wondrous Mpumi on vocals and finally Jonathon Kaspar hits with a pad-laden trance channelling remix of Emmanuel Jal’s – ‘Loje Bome’ to round off this stunning 4th sampler from MoBlack.
