about

Hot on the heels of his debut LP ‘We Move’, Breaka is back with a double single of Amapiano-inspired beats.

Breaka says: “what I love about Amapiano is that even though it’s clearly made for relaxing in the sunshine, it’s also constructed with a pretty unusual and dark sound palette, which gives it this unique suspenseful feeling. Since diving deeper into the genre over the last couple of years, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of working rave sounds into its framework.

“For ‘Dololo,’ I’ve had the privilege of working with Kamohelo, vocalist for the incredible electronic outfit ‘Off The Meds’. It came together within a day after he sent me some brilliant tongue-in-cheek lyrics about dating.

“Whereas in Dololo I included some early dnb-inspired bass sounds, for Ama Waltz I wanted to stay true to the musical language and structure I normally work within—meaning breakbeats, emotional breakdowns and chopped vocals. I’m pretty happy I managed to keep that one in a 3/4 time signature. It hardly ever works for dance tracks!

“Undoubtedly I’ve been most inspired by South African artists such as Vigro Deep and Caltonic SA, but I’m really excited to see how this genre inspires producers as it makes its way around the world. These two tunes are my take on how it can be adapted to the underground sound here in the UK - if this is the first you’ve heard of it, make sure to check out other western artists like Juls, KG, Scratcha, Tribal Brothers, DJ Polo, and the Housupa crew who have already been bringing Ama into their style.”

My whole body agrees with the pace of this short but solid track list. A generous helping of acoustic rhythm samples ignited by breakbeats add extra attention to full range movement on the dancefloor. Not a beat wasted. cherub420
