Colours EP by Afrozin Gang

In the early 2000s in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, two schoolboys formed a friendship around a common passion for house music, exchanging mixtapes and vibing to the bangers of the moment. A few years later, eager to share this music, Ayster and Cio learned to DJ on their own. From these b2b was born the duo Afrozin Gang who, influenced by Problem Child Ten83, Culoe de Song, Caiiro or Argento Dust, already imagined their future as producers. Together, these two Afro house enthusiasts are looking for the recipe to make people dance while playing with emotions, showcasing a melodic tech-tribe style infused with African percussion and inspired by international house music.

After releasing some tracks on the British label All Shades of the Drum and with the Italian of Mr Afro Deep, they landed on Radio Chiguiro Records with a new EP, following-up their atmospheric single “Thethela Phantsi”. The EP begins with the catchy “Ixesha”, enhanced by the charismatic voice of Lulama who sings in Isixhosa, wishing everyone to wait for the right time to find success without getting discouraged, braving the obstacles on the road. With its dramatic melody, “Colours” fits into the afro-tech genre by bringing an epic dimension, ideal for the club’s peak time. For the third track “Shaya”, they team up with their friend Chumloyt from Mossel Bay, Western Cape, to deliver a melancholic 3-step track, both tense and delicate. French DJ, producer and graphic designer Jo Capïsh contributes to the project with a colorful pastel artwork, which he imagined while listening to the EP… The Gang is in town!

Radio Chiguiro Records is an associative label born in 2020, two years after the creation of the web radio of the same name. Founded by David Widam -later joined by Crotch Goblin- the label offers a platform to emerging and established artists from the global bass scene, particularly African and Latin electronic music.
