The B’thebelele EP by Gumz, Thab De Soul, and Luu Wako Atlanta is a striking collaboration that highlights the dynamic fusion of Afro-tech and deep house music. With a clear focus on rhythm and groove, this EP brings together modern production techniques with a strong influence from African musical traditions.
The title track “B’thebelele” stands as a prime example of how Afro-tech music can be both hypnotic and danceable. With its layered percussion, tribal drums, and deep synth lines, it’s a track that builds intensity slowly, making it perfect for late-night sets or as a background for personal reflection. The song’s unique character comes from its fusion of Afro-house rhythms with an atmospheric, almost meditative quality, which creates a sense of space and immersion for the listener.
Gumz, Atmos Blaq and Bukeka recently appeared on iGama Lakho.
The song feels like a celebration of African roots, with the use of traditional African instruments, while also incorporating elements of modern deep house production. The slow, steady pulse of the beat gives the song an organic, breathing quality, making it both relaxing and engaging.
Across the EP, the collaboration between these three artists results in an eclectic mix of sounds that ranges from high-energy Afro-house bangers to more chilled, meditative tracks. Whether for the dancefloor or a more laid-back setting, this EP delivers rich, textured soundscapes that resonate deeply.
In essence, both EPs not only elevate the Afro-house scene but also demonstrate the ongoing innovation happening within the genre as it continues to evolve and resonate globally. They reflect a perfect balance of tradition and modernity, making these releases an essential listen for anyone who appreciates deep, soulful, and rhythmic house music with African roots.
