French-Congolese producer/DJ KARABA has released her new single ‘Dark Waters’ out now via ONErpm.
‘Dark Waters’ is a rhythmic awakening of KARABA’s signature Afro house and dark electronic aspirations. Over its three and a half minutes, ethereal synths and harmonized vocal chants wrap around industrial basslines and gritty percussion. Instantly entrancing and deeply hypnotic, ‘Dark Waters’ envelopes its listeners with arousing sound design that ebbs and flows like its aquatic inspirations. ‘Dark Waters’ arrives with an official music video that showcases KARABA’s breathtaking artistry as a contemporary dancer and the fluidity of her music that lends itself to movement.
“This song is one of my favorites. I love the whole vibe, especially how the kick hits so heavy — it’s like a metaphor for this new era I’m stepping into, where I’m taking up space and marching forward with intention. I finally get to dive deep into electronic sound — how it speaks to me, how I interpret it. This song is kinda my love letter to Afro house and what it feels to me musically.” – KARABA
French-born, Canada-raised female producer/DJ KARABA is redefining the sound of the underground. Formerly a professional dancer who toured with Drake, Camilla Cabello, Selena Gomez, and Chris Brown, KARABA’s approach is influenced by her unique understanding of movement and culture. Looking for a career shift, she seamlessly translated her lust for rhythm and dance to the decks, and amassed a cult following in the process.
KARABA’s music flaunts the authentic sound and spirit of Afro house while incorporating the global inspirations that have followed KARABA throughout her many relocations.
