About This Release
Sondela returns with Sampler Vol. 3, another club-focused selection spotlighting five rising artists shaping the next wave of Afro-electronic sound. From cinematic textures to deeply soulful storytelling, each track brings its own pulse to the dancefloor. ISIKO & Da Africa Deep open with Burning Bright, a powerful journey of self-trust and emotional release, led by haunting vocals and rich, layered melodies. Renacer by Breyth follows with a rebirth of energy through hypnotic rhythm and a standout bassline built for the floor. Umthandazo by ZVRI & Thami The Unknown featuring Natasha Md is a spiritual call—blending vulnerability and divine connection through heartfelt lyrics and dynamic instrumentation. KingDonna’s Umgido bursts with rhythm and celebration, channelling African roots through bold, uplifting grooves. Closing the sampler is Dubfire by Percyslash—a cinematic Afro House cut where melancholic strings meet punchy drums, creating a sound both reflective and driving.
