  • A charismatic display of arrhythmic house and high-pitched keys.

  • South Africa's DJ Black Low describes his music as "challenging," but his debut LP is far from that. Bursting with full-bodied basslines, staccato drums and energetic bars in local dialects, Uwami is a surefire club heater and requires zero effort to digest. The voracious groove of its opener, "Jaiva Low," gets under your skin right at the get-go but like all flirts, it holds back now and then to build tension in tandem with cinematic effects and powerful vocals. A deconstructed take on the indigenous style of amapiano, this is essential listening from a 20 year-old star.
