I have no idea how I stumbled onto this channel/producer but I’ve watched a few vids and you’re a cool dude. Just something about you seems so lovable. Thanks for working hard to make the music that we party to!

[@DJKeebs]

Lets go! Its great to see you mix Afro and Tech House! I've been doing sets of the two genres mixed together for a couple months now! So much great talent out there in the Afro house scene!

Its my favorite combo just grabs me and I run with it

Come to South Africa and experience where Afro house and Afro Tech came from. We would love to have you James.

[@boogiebarbie7792]

thats a classy club music here in Manila

[@lukesshorttutorials1504]

I was thinking about that, even here Moz I play Afro house with quite a few genres. I Collab with a few DJ's who really have afro house down (new thing to me (DJ Sunbird))

[@ruxandraene397]

My inner child screams: “NOOOO, don’t change your iconic style!!!” My mature self whispers confidently: “It’s ok, afro is too tame for him, he’ll get bored soon and go back to his hype mood in no time!”

Love the Afro House x Tech House combos. I've been watching you for a while now, because I enjoy your content, and your mixing abilities. Keinemusik are my favourite DJ's, so seeing you incorporate Afro House sounds into your own remixes is really cool to see. Would love to see more remixes like these!

[@scubamike1468]

The track you played on your laptop in the hotel room in Atlantic City.....just DAMN!!!! Absolutely killer! Can't wait to hear the final edit and be able to download and use in some of my sets. As always you are a visionary when it comes to thinking WAY outside the box and not being afraid to just "be you" and do create what you think might sound good. (And it always does).

20 year cycle coming back around, in the early 2000s everything was what we called Tribal House at the time. Same but revised. Check out records from Superchumbo from that era... they are pretty cool.

I remember lol. Been listening to this stuff since 2002 lol.

[@billscott6819]

I love this dude, I'm 52 and over the years the genres become a major laff. Glad to hear you're willing to morph and care a lot about the actual music more than as DJ tools. Mad respect, it's fun to see the vlogs. More power.

[@enygma3d]

I blend afro house with organic and deep house. I've usually seen stuff like that through Anjunadeep, but for my sets, I'm usually doing that as part of ecstatic dance events. Stoked to hear some of the Afro beats you drop! May have to fire off something I'm working on.

[@don_huzan]

Afro Tech House

Exactly 🙌🏽 You can listen to my Afro and Latin Tech House set, which I will share soon, on my KZbin channel.

8:10 nah this is sick af - been listening to Afro House for a good while now, this is amazing. Afro Tech House is already sort of a thing though, take a listen to 'Like A Dream' By Robin M & Coco or 'Morenita' by HUGEL for example. Looking forward to hearing more!

AFRO HOUSE, AMPIANO… “This is the way”… side note as someone who ironically fell in love with the Afro house genre when Drakes More Life came out in 2017 it’s interesting hearing that he’s just now listening to Afro House for an extended period of time of time.

[@Guitan20]

Hi James. I don't know if you are going to read this or not but I'm a fan of your work and also a fan of afro house. I listen to djs like black coffee, djeff, danni gato and breyth for a while now. My suggestion is that you can speed up the beat

[@OptionSamson]

i think you're great and find the whole channel entertaining but to answer your question - A good artist is always growing, so whatever you create is you. Go ahead and try out any sounds that feel right and go with it. You'll find the more you expand your horizons, the better your music will become. I especially enjoy when you talk through the production side because I'm an old DJ that's new to production and trying to soak in everything I can from folks like yourself. Cheers!

[@jahzen7]

Good to see you expanding from tech house mate..

[@thisguyrools2807]

Tech house stayed pretty relevant for years. Probably started listening to it late 2015 but I’d say it’s more commercial sound we have now probably started in 2016/2017. Fisher went solo leaving cut snake behind. Chris Lake was dropping banger after banger. Probably spent the whole summer of 2017 falling into the tech house rabbit. It out lived big room, electro house and progressive house which probably was relevant from 2010-2015 then trap, deep house, tropical house, future bass sort of took the spotlight in the middle of decade then tech house took over and covid really blew up it’s popularity when we were are stuck inside. When everything opened we finally got to see our favorite DJs play their tracks live and we got an influx of new tech house DJs who used their lockdown time to produce and DJ. Techno also gained traction during that time. Drum and Bass is for sure the next genre that is going to get commercialized next. We’ll probably get a new house sub genre piggybacking of that success.

[@kazokazim3811]

You know what, since you mentioned Elrow and that track as motivation, I think you got it. Elrow set was sooo different but soooo good! Mix it bro!!! It must come something good of it.

[@darrenjohnston5957]

Watching this video and my jaw dropped to the floor! No harm pal but maybe you need to widen your horizons. "Afro House" was done in the early 90's (Tribal House). Just because Beatport creates a new label doesn't mean that it's a new genre. There are 1000's of tunes that sound similar to the "new genre" you think you've created. I've no opinion on your style of DJ'ing and actually do think some of the things you do are impressive but wow that ego is out of control!

[@juliohenriquez-96]

One thing the best Afro house tunes do in my opinion is have the piano’s melody also hit hard on the drop and keep the emotion going. That could work to add more to the Drake remix! 13:19

[@TheMainMotherSnacker]
