MÖW has been honing his unique house sound for almost a decade and always with an organic quality that has stood him apart. He mixes up an array of world sounds with modern electronic sounds and his own unique touch whether making lush downtempo or more club-ready deep house. He has played plenty of the world’s best clubs and festivals and his music is never far away from the tastemaking record bags of top-tier DJs.
Opener ‘Mwenda’ is a stirring Afro house sound with poignant chords and a pitched-up vocal that is beguiling and full of gorgeous melancholy. Glassy sounds and organic percussion bring the drums to life but it’s the vocal that really hooks you in. The wonderful ‘Griot’ rolls deep and has vibrant Afro guitar sounds adding the authentic hook next to
florid whistles and funky drum patterns. There’s a spine-tingling allure to the smoky vocals of ‘Mwenga’ with its pensive melody and taught kick patterns, while ‘Castigo’ is more tense thanks to the upright drums and edgy stabs that light up the track with a sense of drama. Another breathtaking vocal makes this a signature MÖW sound and last but not least, ‘Acacia’ has a sense of hope and optimism in the airy, widescreen chords and expansive drums.
MÖW’s Mwenda EP lands on Connected on 6th September 2024.
