DJ Yin’s cross from spinning records to making music led to her debut release, “What You Started”, an Afro-house single produced by Bankyondbeatz. Her new effort comes via a feature on DJ Java’s “Lady”. DJ Java has worked with Ajebutter in the past on “Bisola Coker”, “Lady” is his first official release of the year.

“Lady” has a similar Afro-House beat with “Bisola Coker” but with a slower tempo and a lighter bass. The romantic theme of “Lady” might have influence the decision to opt for a more subtle Afro-drum pattern and EDM piano riffs but it blends just right for DJ Yin. Vic Sax’s influence is felt at the end of “Lady” the with a jazz solo.

DJ Java has put together a very groovy mixture of EDM and Afro sounds without sacrificing one at the expense of the other. “Lady” has all the right features to help boast the popularity of Afro-house and with enough radio play, the genre might begin to rival the mainstream Afropop.
