2. Deep Owen & Giffafro Hamisi - Nngwale

With Sons of Ausar, Deep Owen delivers a striking return to the spiritual pulse of Afro House — a genre that, over the years, has oscillated between lush melodic experimentation and pure rhythmic muscle. This four-track EP doesn’t just tip its hat to the genre’s roots — it digs its fingers deep into the soil, channelling the primal energy of percussion-led storytelling with an authenticity that feels both reverent and revitalising.
