December 2024, Friday 6th: Namibian producer/DJ Gina Jeanz drops a percussion-led afrohouse dancefloor bomb, “Emoko”, out via Temper Tone. This is the first of four tracks to be shared from Gina’s anticipated forthcoming EP, “Lifetime in a Dance”, out Friday 13t:h, part of a highly anticipated EP that traverses afrohouse and afrotech, dipping into disco house territory at times.
“Emoko” is a loopy afrohouse DJ tool, jewelled with deep, organic drums that form an inescapable, danceable rhythm. Simple on the surface, with a complex ecosystem of delicious percussion bubbling beneath, Gina creates a huge atmosphere through hypnotic recorded vocals and subtle sound design. Her latest release, “Emoko” caps off an impactful year for Jeanz. In October 2024, she performed at ADE alongside Killamanjaro, VANCO, and Damian Lazarus and hosted a DJ workshop with Pioneer DJ. Earlier in July, she supported South African afrotech icon Shimza at his Cercle event at the Citadel de Sisteron in France.
