In today's DJ-centric dance music landscape, Afriqua stands apart as a complete artist – writing, producing, and performing with the kind of singular vision that recalls luminaries of the Black Music tradition from Prince and Sly Stone to Moodymann and Larry Heard. The Berlin-based musician has built a career on defying categorization, fusing his classical training and hip-hop roots into dancefloor anthems that are as bold as they are unapologetically sexy. When people ask what genre he makes, the only appropriate answer is Black Music.
