Still driven by the passion to build bridges between the roots of electronic music and its contemporary forms, Frappé presents the Various Artists release Afrosidiaque. A reminder that the origins of electronic music lie within African and African-American communities, this 5th VA bridges globally renowned Afro House artists with the French productions of the early 2000s. Across 5 tracks from 5 different artists, the label pays tribute to a movement synonymous with dancefloor fever.

Charismatic artist Floyd Lavine delivers Creda Mutwa, a singular, powerful Afro Acid track designed for the dancefloor. It perfectly reflects his musical identity, rooted in his native South Africa and shaped by Berlin, where he founded the RISE parties at Watergate — events that have redefined the Afro sound in recent years.

Another key figure of the movement, Mr Raoul K contributes Raining Love, a deep and mesmerizing piece that reflects the spirit of its creator, also known as a balafon player. Taken from his back catalog, the track has been newly remastered for Afrosidiaque and, for the first time, pressed to vinyl.

A young talent brimming with creativity, Saudade had already explored Brazilian-inspired electronic sounds with his Xango EP. He returns to Frappé with Bougarabou, a finely-crafted club cut infused with warm percussion and jazzy chords.

With sharp brass and percussion riffs, Ten Fingerz plays on the more classic codes of Afro House with Blow Da Conga — a fast, edgy, and irresistibly danceable track.

Finally, Basile de Suresnes closes with Bastoss AfroK47, a raw and gritty piece that defies categorization, blending machine noise and swinging percussion. A track made for the decks.
