The Future is Afro II

Kunye Records returns with the second edition of its acclaimed EP series, The Future Is Afro II, a five-track offering that brings together some of the continent’s most forward-thinking producers, including Demzabeats x Mentmusik, DJ Vitoto x Bun Xapa & Ziddo, Sky White x Stil & Bense ft. Jochoneca, and Pierre Johnson x Simeon.


Carrying the imprint’s mission of connecting South Africa’s Afro-electronic sound to global stages, this EP weaves melodic Afro House, Afro Tech, and emotionally-charged production into a seamless listening experience, equal parts club-focused and spiritually resonant.

Each track is a story. Each producer, a cultural translator of modern African identity.



Demzabeats x Mentmusik – Maita Maita

A raw Afro-Tech anthem rooted in Johannesburg grit and global stages. Electrifying, emotional, and built to move dancefloors.

DJ Vitoto x Bun Xapa & Ziddo
An AfroElectro journey built from ancient Egyptian vocal samples and Bun Xapa’s bold rhythmic edge. A collision of percussion, melody, and cinematic emotion.

Sky White x Stil & Bense – Tamba ft. Jochoneca
A deeply emotional Afro-melodic collaboration that began with a powerful vocal from Jochoneca and evolved into a textured sonic story of healing and rhythm.

Pierre Johnson x Simeon – Change Your Mind

A piano-led, vocal-driven Afro house journey. Vulnerable and euphoric. “I don’t wanna fight anymore” echoes in a swirl of synth and groove.


The Future Is Afro II is not just a release. It’s a movement.
