Amapiano Foundations

Proudly presenting 19 Amapiano sounds performed by the very artists shaping the genre’s future. Made in collaboration with Shannen SP — a London-based curator and DJ with deep ties to the South African music scene — we brought together three powerhouse artists (Major League Djz, Jay Music and MDU aka TRP) in Johannesburg to capture the instrumentation that defines it. Originating in the streets of Johannesburg and now occupying global stages, our new collection captures the genre’s vibrant energy through its head-bopping basslines, singular synths and the unmistakable log drum — allowing you to make eclectic tracks right off the bat.
