Global dance music is set for a groundbreaking moment with the release of ‘Amapiano To Ibiza’, a genre-defining EP that merges two worlds: the pulsating rhythms of South Africa’s Amapiano and the timeless classics of Ibiza’s iconic House music scene, out now via Armada Music, the world’s leading independent dance label, in partnership with Warner Music Africa and Africori, bringing together dance music’s biggest names for a unique collaboration.

Honouring Amapiano’s House music roots, this first-of-its-kind project reinterprets legendary Ibiza tracks through the innovative lens of Amapiano’s signature sound, introducing a fresh global perspective. Featuring Amapiano heavyweights such as DBN Gogo, Major League DJz, Yumbs, 2wo Bunnies, and Rosey Gold, the EP reimagines timeless classics from House music titans like Dennis Ferrer, Afro Medusa, Blaze, and Inner City. This EP is not just a rework—it’s a cultural exchange, delivering something familiar yet refreshingly new for fans across the globe.

The focus track, a stunning remix of Afro Medusa’s classic ‘Pasilda’ by South African producer Yumbs, transforms the 1999 Latin House hit into a jazz-infused Amapiano anthem. With its laid-back, soulful vibe, Yumbs’ remix of ‘Pasilda’ perfectly bridges cultural sounds, making it a must-listen for both the dancefloor and intimate gatherings.

Also featured on the EP is a smooth, laidback rework of B15 Project’s UK garage classic ‘Girls Like Us’ by South African tastemakers Blaqnick and Masterblaq, blending the deep, rolling basslines of Amapiano with the vibrant energy of the Crissy D’s unmistakable vocal.
