Montreal-based DJ and producer BLOND:ISH and Zimbabwean multi-talented artist Bantu have joined forces to release an experience like no other. Their catchy single, “Can’t Let You Go,” released on Insomniac Records, is a pounding Afro-house monster that matches tribal rhythms with global dance mania.
From the instant the beat drops, “Can’t Let You Go” transports listeners to an electrifying, sweat-soaked disco floor. The track does this over hypnotic drum patterns, infectious basslines, and an unmistakable Afro-house groove. Bantu’s rich, rhythmic delivery adds depth and emotion, transforming slangy patterns into a celebration of culture, more than a club track.
In this track, Afro-house, a genre quietly carving out its hillside in the global dance music mountain range, sparkles brightly. BLOND:ISH, known for her genre-bending productions, imbues the song with an ethereal but high-energy throb, while Bantu breathes a raw, organic texture into it with his Afrocentric melodies. They are a perfect fit, showing that dance music knows no borders, only vibes.
“Can’t Let You Go” captures movement and liberty. This song must be felt whether you’re elbow-deep in a festival crowd, vibing at a lit club, or letting loose in your living room. This blend of house, Afrobeats, and dancehall makes it resonate to such an extent that it would be hard to imagine a particular circle of music lovers who wouldn’t love it. With “Can’t Let You Go,” BLOND:ISH and Bantu illustrate the power of breaking down creative walls and continuing their shared journeys of musical exploration. This is a game changer in the history of their music career, and so much more to come forward with.
