Overall Score
Zerb & Sofiya Nzau - Mwaki (Remixes) 10
Summary
Zerb from Brazil connects with the Kenyan Sofiya Nzau for the awesome Mwaki one of the biggest club anthems worldwide. The original mix is an absolute treat for the ears with the feel good tribal groove and the great way of merging them with the fantastic vocals that the beloved singer transcends with so much love and grace to the world. The remix package is super huge as any big name producer wants to associate his name with this magical song. Tiesto, Major Lazer, Franky Wah, Timmy Trumpet and now 2 really unique translations from the hands of Duke Dumont & Kiko Franco who add their bumping basslines, retaining the tribal exotic groove and rhythm along with some dark synthy stabs to drive the track to a deeper territory. Chris Avantgarde & Kevin de Vries come on board to add their Afterlife signature sound with deeper driving energetic basslines, dark haunting strings and super cosmic atmosphere. The breakdown truly inspirational allowing the great vocal to win the hearts and warm the souls. The build up drives the track to its main section still dark and moody full of suspenseful synths and incredible lethargic atmosphere. #PureGold Love IT10.0
