DJ and Producer AirBurn Sounds is gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of his record label AirBurn Sounds Productions where he plans to release his music and discover new talent.
He releases the first single ‘One Mistake’ as an independent artist with the highly acclaimed duo SlayZee MusiQ made up of featuring newcomer Ashley Shxne and choreographer/vocalist Bhathistar Black.
“I wanted to introduce my new label with a fun song, nothing too serious, a song for the holiday season,” AirBurn Sounds says. “One Mistake is just a light-hearted fun song featuring upcoming talent Ashley Shxne who brings a fresh voice into the Amapiano space. She also joins the label as our very first signee.”
We are releasing One Mistake, then one other single before we drop the full project titled, Genesis, which symbolises new beginnings and a start to something big; a new label, new artists, out with the old, and in with the new. This also symbolises a change in my life and brand-new beginnings. I had just lost music that I had been working on since 2009 after a previous label owner broke into my home and stole everything, so I had to start a new one. We worked on this new project for three weeks straight, with no breaks, day and night. So, it’s truly something special.
