Umgido is a stylish new album from South African producer and beatmaker Jnr SA, in collaboration with deep house artist Oscar Mbo. And this deep-grooving track comes at a time when dancefloor enthusiasts are clamoring for a smoother transition between Amapiano and deep house.

Nightclub audiences are always looking for sophisticated late-night grooves with a solid rhythmic pulse. It makes perfect sense for them to team up, as both artists are masters of lush electronic effects. So they use this venue to celebrate the art of dance and the deep rhythms of the township.

The sound architects construct a highly clean and evocative soundtrack with warm synth pads and sharp shaker loops. Under a smooth bassline, they add modest, rolling drums that give the music a nice bounce. But the percussive system still has its space, allowing the melodic aspects to breathe.

Jnr SA is meticulous and precise in the arrangement of the rhythm section. He sets the pace at a patient clip, adding little percussion as the record progresses. So his arrangement keeps the listener engaged in a hypnotic pattern throughout the song.
