Afro house is house music built on African percussion, polyrhythm and vocal tradition: layered live-feel drums, chant and call-and-response vocals, and arrangements that unfold slowly at 118–124 BPM. It runs from the South African lineage through the modern global circuit that labels like SOL SELECTAS, Ibadan Records, Scorpios Community, Good Vibrations Music, JÏMONO Records and Riythmica release into, and it is one of the fastest-growing genres in the directory. 12 active afro house labels sit here, and this hub was already receiving search traffic before it existed, which is what put it on the build list.
What Afro House Labels Look For
Afro house A&Rs listen to the percussion layer as the composition. The genre is polyrhythmic by construction, so what they want is several parts genuinely interlocking (congas, shakers, djembe, log drum, each with its own placement and dynamics) rather than one loop repeated with a shaker on top. Programmed percussion is fine; static, evenly quantised percussion is not, because the human variation is what makes the groove breathe. Vocals carry enormous weight, whether a full performance or chanted phrases, and they should feel rooted rather than decorative. Arrangements run long and build patiently.
Submission Tips
Do not use vocals or percussion recordings from a culture you have not engaged with, without credit and clearance. This is the genre where that lands hardest, and A&Rs in this scene notice immediately. If you have worked with a vocalist or a percussionist, name them in your pitch: collaboration credit reads as legitimacy here in a way it does not elsewhere. Beyond that, target by strand: the South African end, the Mediterranean and Burning Man-adjacent end, and the Latin-leaning end are quite different markets sharing one tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which afro house labels accept demos?
SOL SELECTAS, Ibadan Records, Good Vibrations Music, Scorpios Community, JÏMONO Records, Riythmica, Lavenir Music, Iziki, Melomania Records, Ensis Records and Needle & Leaf Music Collective all accept demos and are listed in the growyour.music directory, 12 active afro house labels in total. Submitting through growyour.music sends your demo to the label's public demo inbox with a 14-day reply window. Labels are not obliged to answer, and if one doesn't, your credits come back automatically.
What BPM is afro house?
Afro house generally sits at 118–124 BPM, with the deeper and more organic end running slower and the peak-time and Afro-tech end pushing toward 122–125. Tempo matters less than the pocket, though. The genre's identity is the polyrhythmic percussion layer, and a correctly-tempoed track with straight, static drums will not read as afro house to anyone in the scene.
Is afro house the same as Afro-tech or amapiano?
No, and the directory keeps them separate. Afro house is house-tempo, percussion-led and usually vocal-forward. Afro-tech is a distinct subgenre that fuses that percussion with tech house's drive and darkness: harder, more minimal, more club-functional. Amapiano is a separate South African genre entirely, at 110–115 BPM with the log drum bassline and a much sparser arrangement. Labels specialise, so pitching an amapiano record to an afro house imprint is a common and avoidable mismatch.
