Kumasi by Tato (BR)
In his upcoming release, 'Kumasi,' Tato channels spirit, memory, and movement. Rooted in rich textures and rhythmic intuition, the track is a meditation on duality: the ancient and the modern, the grounded and the transcendent, the body and the soul. Organic instrumentals breathe life into the beat - tender piano riffs echo like distant stories, while visceral percussion strikes deep, anchoring the rhythm in something raw and real. Soulful vocals rise and fall like prayer, threading through hypnotic electronic tinctures that shimmer with quiet intensity. The track blooms with climactic progressions that unwind into a liberating dance. It's a trance that moves from within, where emotion finds motion, and sound becomes a vessel for release. 'Kumasi' lives in a sublime unison of past and future; a space where tradition pulses forward and the dancefloor becomes sacred ground.

One of THE main protagonists since day one, there is nobody else around, laying foundations on this level and pushing boundaries like MoBlack Records and its founder Mimmo Falcone (MoBlack). The Italian who lived in Ghana for ten years keeps surprising the RISE team as much as the scene with those cutting edge releases and a repertoire that shouts "classic" every second minute. by RISE -
