Review by Kiel Campo

Digital Afrika's latest album, Dark Matter, is a stunning exploration of the depths of electronic music. The Melbourne-based duo, consisting of producer and DJ Sam Gill and percussionist and vocalist Paul Bender, have crafted a mesmerizing collection of tracks that blend traditional African rhythms with modern electronic beats, creating a unique and captivating sound.

From the opening track "Bantu," with its pulsing bassline and hypnotic vocals, to the closing track "Binti," which features a haunting melody and intricate percussion, Dark Matter is an immersive journey through a world of sound. The album is filled with intricate rhythms, lush textures, and intricate melodies, all expertly crafted by Digital Afrika.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Mwana," a high-energy dancefloor anthem that will get your feet moving with its infectious beat and catchy vocal hook. Another standout track is "Hama," a more downtempo and introspective track that showcases the duo's ability to create a rich and emotional atmosphere with their music.
