Parallel Universe by Mr Joe
South African DJ and producer Mr Joe returns to connected
with another of his compelling Afro-tech fusion tracks.
Mr Joe aka Mbheki Ndlovu was born and raised in a township
in the Kwa-Zulu Natal province and has been making beats
since high school. He’s released on international labels and
formally studied music production at Soul Candi Institute Of
Music in 2012. He has landed on Watergate Records, Odd
One Inn and Kazukuta Records with big names like Black
Coffee and Dixon supporting his tunes. His last outing here
was his superb Beyond EP back in February 2022 and now he
shows his class once more.
‘Parallel Universe' is a song that takes you into a new
dimension. Mr Joe crafts a fresh world with chanting vocals
that play out of nowhere serving like a rocket straight into
space. Non-stop Afro house drums pound below with wispy
sci-fi synth details flashing past and dark energy pervading
the groove which transports you into an all-new musical
universe.
