MoBlack Records celebrates its 500th imprint with a collection of gems from the label's nearly one decade at the forefront of Afro House. Handpicked by MoBlack himself, '500 Steps' presents 10 past releases between those have inspired and shaped what is known and enjoyed today as Afro House, Afro Tech and Melodic House & Techno. Through 10 decisive MoBlack tracks, produced from all over the world by veteran producers and rising stars alike, '500 Steps' tells many stories: an artist's passion, dreams reached, a genre's evolution, triumphs when boundaries are pushed and innovation when new avenues of sound are explored. The anthology traverses intersections of human connection through music, traveling through memories made in studios and on dancefloors. Along with this milestone, MoBlack lauds the artists' and their artworks' impact on Afro house and electronic music, looking towards the future of sound, gleaming robustly and reaching deeper as ever.
