A former Bar25 resident, Stojan went on to found Ouïe Records with Acid Pauli, building a platform that fluidly merges downtempo, jazz, hip-hop, and forward-thinking house into richly textured musical narratives.

For this release, the duo enlist the vocals of Nes Mburu, an authoritative and in-demand Afro house singer whose voice has graced numerous key labels and releases across the scene.

The resulting track, ‘Luhya’, is a deeply enchanting and spiritual composition. Clean, soulful, and rousing vocals set a dulcet, uplifting tone, while heart-warming chords are draped over a heavyweight yet rolling groove. Wispy melodies and organic percussion weave through the arrangement, heightening the atmosphere and guiding the listener toward a profound emotional release. The track’s musicality shines through its evolving melodic layers, while bold, empowering basslines inject driving energy that steadily elevates the experience.

SONARA stands for music that fosters deep connections on the dance floor, allowing moments to bloom and emotions to resonate. This second outing is another cultured and carefully crafted journey into truly moving house music, reaffirming the label’s commitment to depth, soul, and timeless dance floor expression.
