Hugely versatile New York City Producer Cheyne Christian continues his great run of recent form with brilliant new single ‘Wakala’ featuring the standout vocal talents of Nes Mburu.
This fresh new Afro-house track marks Christian’s debut release on Roger Sanchez’s Stealth. It will also be a part of the label’s forthcoming Rituals Vol. 4 compilation which is due for release at the end of May.
In recent times, Cheyne Christian has proved that he has a wide range of styles in his arsenal. From an epic bootleg of The Police classic ‘Message In A Bottle’ on his own Bridge & Tunnel Beat. Co label via top quality tracks that mix up Latin, tribal and Afro influences on world renowned labels like Nervous, Toolroom, Saved and Force Of Habit, he has shown he is an artist who is forever evolving.
For that reason, his tunes often find their way into high profile record bags belonging to the likes of Claptone, who has supported almost every tune Christian has released, through to Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, Fatboy Slim and Oscar G.
For his latest studio magic, Christian has hooked up once more with revered African singer and songwriter Nes Mburu having found his profile on fiverr. Christian was mesmerised as soon as he heard Nes’s voice and the pair’s first big success was the superb ‘Lotto’ track on Nervous. From there they have continued to collaborate. This latest tune finds Nes deliver vocals in both Swahili and Kikuyu, a native Kenyon tribal language.
Cheyne Christian has cooked up another one of his captivating signature sounds with ‘Wakala’ which is sure to be a ubiquitous hit this summer.
