Armenian artist Donz makes his MoBlack debut with 'Ninar,' a luminous interplay of rhythm, texture, and breath. Crisp percussion ripples like air in motion, its cadences teeming with warmth and vitality. Layers build gradually: elate progressions unfurl beneath celestial winds, grounded by a deep, resonant undertone and kinetic groove. Folk instrumentals surface and fade, playful yet deliberate, carrying traces of ancestral spirit and the quiet joy of shared tradition. Between the shimmer of synths and the grain of hand-played rhythm, 'Ninar' finds its own language, one that speaks of movement, memory, and renewal. It's a dance ritual that feels alive in every detail - radiant, human, and timeless in its flow.

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 -
