Afro House sensations Idd Aziz & Kreative Nativez release ‘Elementary’

One of the top Afro House releases of the season, ‘Elementary’ is an exuberant collaboration between legendary Kenyan vocalist Idd Aziz and Zambian producer duo Kreative Nativez. Infusing the track with the spirit and rhythms of their homeland (including subtle samples of a local elementary school), Kreative Nativez creates a mesmerizing background for Aziz’s soaring vocals.

One of the most celebrated artists on the scene, Aziz has released music on Black Coffee’s label, Lee Burridge’s taste-making All Day I Dream label, Berlin’s Exploited Records, and Universal Music. He has performed all over the world, sharing stages with such luminaries as Angelique Kidjo and Youssou N’Dour and playing the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Both acts were featured on the #1 charting Beatport Afro House album ‘New York State Of House’ last year.
