Afropop is still pop, but emotions are elemental for DJ Wayne on NATIVE’s 12th mix, perhaps this is why its our coldest one yet. Heavy bass from “Go”, Tekno’s alleged response to shady statements from Wizkid back in July, ease into electric twin mixes from Wiz himself. TY Bello’s ode to the land of promise brings some somberness before the Wande Coal remix to L.A.X’s “Runaway” and the original are spliced together somewhere around here. Bass becomes light strings and melody peaks are waxed together by Mayorkun, Koker, Runtown and Jilex Anderson. There’s some light dance at the end of this by DJ Spinall and DJ Kaywise but Olamide’s “Wavy Level” takes it all back to base where harmony is found in songwriting or beats that have been stripped bare.
