AyAN The Dj - Akoma [Outside Romania] (Afro Promo)

()UTSIDE ROMANIA continues its Afro House evolution with its second standout release — and this time, AyAN The DJ delivers a soulful, emotionally rich EP that cuts straight to the heart of the dancefloor. Akoma, meaning “heart” in the Akan language (Ghana), isn’t just a title — it’s a concept. It speaks to connection, vulnerability, and rhythm as a form of expression.

Built around a haunting and beautiful Afro vocal, the Original Mix blends organic percussion with layered harmonics and spiritual energy. The voice doesn't just float — it chants, cries, calls — as if pulled from ancestral ceremonies and set against a modern Afro groove. Each element is carefully sculpted to balance earthiness with club functionality, evoking names like Keinemusik, Moblack, or Sondela, but with AyAN’s own fingerprint.

The Instrumental Mix strips away the vocal, revealing the skeleton of the rhythm — hypnotic, pulsating, and designed with DJs in mind. It gives space to the drums and atmosphere, making it an ideal tool for long blends and emotional transitions in deeper sets.

🎧 BIO: AYAN THE DJ

AyAN The DJ is an emerging artist from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, blending Afro, Tech House, and tribal influences into a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. With a solid background as a DJ and a refined musical sensibility, AyAN brings magnetic energy, sophisticated selections, and an unexpectedly mature artistic vision to every performance — rare qualities for a newcomer.

After years of studying electronic music behind the scenes and perfecting his DJ technique, AyAN stepped into the spotlight with a clear mission: to create music that heals, connects, and makes people dance from the heart. His style moves fluidly between spiritual Afro House, energetic Tech House, and hypnotic tribal grooves, drawing inspiration from artists like Black Coffee, &ME, Pablo Fierro, Themba, and Hyenah.

His official debut release, Dive Outta Love (July 2025), was a bold statement of intent — a powerful, emotional, and versatile track made for both radio play and peak-time DJ sets. His follow-up, Akoma, takes the journey even further — an Afro House gem with a deep message, a polished production, and a vocal that speaks straight to the soul.

AyAN is committed to releasing high-quality music consistently, with a long-term vision that includes professional promotion, exclusive premieres, international DJ support, and strategic playlist pitching across Spotify, Apple Music, and Beatport. He’s also launching his own monthly radio show — Ayan’s Anthems — featuring guest mixes, exclusive selections, and his personal insights.

AyAN The DJ is more than just a new name on the scene — he’s an artist with direction, a message, and the potential to become one of the most exciting voices in the new wave of Afro & Tech House in Europe.
