MoBlack, one of the names that has shaped the Afro house scene over the past decade, takes over the booth at Klein Phönix on Saturday, November 28. Born in Naples, Mimmo Falcone's MoBlack project grew out of his ten years in Ghana into a sound that fuses African rhythms with modern electronic production; the MoBlack Records label he founded in 2013 has carried hundreds of releases from the continent onto dance floors around the world. One of the most-played Afro house records of recent years, "Yamore", bears his signature. Reworking Salif Keita's 2002 track with the vocals of Cesária Évora, that version has travelled through a wide range of DJs from Keinemusik to Black Coffee and pushed the genre's boundaries further. On the night of November 28, expect a set that turns the breadth of MoBlack's record collection loose on Istanbul's dance floor. The bill goes beyond MoBlack himself: the Bite the Dust duo, who blend organic textures with Afro and melodic house, open the night alongside a back-to-back set from Batu (TR) and Eren Yıldız. Doors open at 22.00 and music runs until 04.00. The venue is Klein Phönix in Maslak; tickets are on sale via Bugece.
