Multicultural DJ/producer Wakyin teams up with Grammy-nominated artist Bantu to release ‘Closer’, a Afro house track on Insomniac Records. Drawing inspiration from his Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage, he blends genres aiming to create vibrant productions.
The track features guitar riffs, piano melodies, and percussion that exude a laid-back yet vibrant vibe, all propelled by a four-on-the-floor kick. The song's evolution saw it floating through various iterations before Bantu's voice breathed new life into the record.
Rhythmic vocals and lyrics weave through an evolving beat, culminating in a soulful chorus with echoing lyrics and a possible day-to-night atmosphere.
With strong Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, Wakyin (aka Christian Rivera-Joaquin) was captivated from a young age by the diverse sounds and lively rhythms of merengue, bachata, and salsa that permeated the streets of his family's neighbourhood. Encouraged by his musically inclined family, he started experimenting with turntables and mixers, marking the inception of a career.
Driven by a thirst for musical exploration, he began fusing genres, creating a sonic signature that aims to resonate with audiences far and wide.
Wakyin feat Bantu ‘Closer’ is out now on Insomniac Records.
