Double Drop, Xabizo
Villahangar’s realease for winter 2021-22 continue: the label releases “Bendingayazi“, the new track by the emerging African artist Double Drop together with the artist, new musical promise, Xabizo.
A happy return for Villahangar: in 2020 Double Drop participated in the Various Artists [#UNDERWATER] of the label released in October creating “Nguvu“, an openly Afro track with killer dancefloor grooves and a very particular use of sound.
For Double Drop, born Adérito do Rosário Inácio Bucuane, born in Maputo, Mozambique, in 1992, the adventure in the artistic path began in 2006 thanks to productions in genres such as Hip-Hop and R’N’B.
In 2015 he wrote his first song under the sign of House, entitled “Riddick”, by Theory of Groove Records: a national success not only for its genre of reference, as the most downloaded track for three months according to “Mais” and “Music Crib”, a major national magazine and the most important digital music site in Mozambique.
Later, Double Drop with his genius continued with releases on labels such as Labels Lupara Records (ESP), Aaron Jackson Audiophile XXL’s Label America from their single “Gangsta”, Audio Rehab (UK), Bodhi Records (US), Build It Records (USA), Gangsta House Rowdy (Russia), First Edition (USA) and White Widow (Poland). But also, many internationally relevant such as Afrocentric, MoBlack, Transa Records.
His tracks have been played in the world by DJs such as Kolombo, San Shiba, Beatangers, Aaron Jackson, Mark Radford, Marc Spence, Nytron, Wasabi, Nappi.
Nytron do Brasil, one of the most famous House Music artists in terms of Beatport sales, wanted him for a collaboration on a track to be published on Tropical Heat (Greece).
A personal direction his, unpredictable and mysterious: passed through Hip Hop, R’N’B, Nudisco, Bass House, Tech House, Techno, today he stands out under the sign of Afro House, which reflects his positive and distinctly dense with humanity nature: coming into contact over time with many genres, for him an indissoluble artistic and creative heritage, his is a contagious sound, warm and without limits regarding creativity and fusion of styles.
In 2018 he took a break from music, but in 2020 he returned with new creative sap, riding the evolution of the times but always tied to his roots, and he has recently released on MoBlack Records as well as two EPs: Hoyo Hoyo on WAYU, more organic, and another, Dawa on Go Deeva Records, more inclined to afro-tech.
For the future he has in store a song in collaboration with the South African artist Vuyani that will be part of a compilation on DJ Chus’ Redolent label, as well as a single that will be released on Ocha Records with the participation of his colleague Arisis.
Joining other talented young producers at home, he decided to create his own label Xibalo, Mozambique’s promising reference project that has earned a place on the international Afro scene.
For his new track “Bendingayazi” made in collaboration with the artist Xabizo, great musical promise, – which title comes from ‘babalaza’, as the hangovers in Mozambique and South Africa are called, which later became ‘Bindigaize’, dizzy – he chose afrobeat sounds, exploring new boundaries and getting involved.
And he was inspired by “Tenet”, the highly acclaimed film directed by Christopher Nolan: acting in reverse just like in the film where the actions take place backwards in time, he manipulated the sample of song of the soundtrack with the same fascinating inspiration.
