A Dancefloor Record Rooted in Emotion
Rising South African producer and DJ Gene Boi returns with a powerful new single, Sekunzima, a deeply emotive dance-floor-ready offering that explores the fragility of love when tested by pressure. Built on pulsating rhythms and haunting melodic layers, the track captures the emotional tension of a relationship fighting to survive, balancing vulnerability with movement and energy.
Where Afro House Meets Raw Vulnerability
Blending Dance and Afro House influences, Sekunzima showcases Gene Boi’s ability to translate both personal and universal experiences into sound. The production leans into emotional depth without losing its groove, creating a record that resonates just as strongly in introspective moments as it does on the dancefloor.
“We wanted to create a song that speaks to the struggles of relationships and the way music can be both a reflection of our pain and our salvation,”
says Yanga Grenade. The result is an immersive listening experience that invites connection, healing, and release.
A Sound That Speaks to the Heart and the Body
With its hypnotic progression and emotive tone, Sekunzima offers listeners more than just a club record. It’s a sonic journey that mirrors real-life emotional struggles, proving once again how Afro House continues to serve as a bridge between storytelling and movement.
