Mafenghi by PiyaZawa, Haghbin

The riddim for ‘Mafenghi’ was one of the first projects that had a finished feel for me at some point. it was not my intention when i started though. The intention was to find a distraction after i was woken early by a closeby kindergarten.
I was just playing around at that point but found more and more detail in the project. I also was learning how to mix and arrange during that time so finishing Mafenghi was a constant back and forth. I mixed it so many times that by the end i developed something like a workflow.
When PiyaZawa came on board I was very happy. Her instrumental interpretation gave the otherwise very computerized tune a human touch. gentle, uplifting and virtuous as she does so well.
After production was finished the tune went to gkg for mastering. I made a livedub video with it and decided for limited cuts with pressure. This was back in 2022 and records went fast.

Thanks to everybody supporting this project.
