Release Info:

The enigmatic DJ/producer has established himself as one of the most exciting newer acts associated
with Watergate, releasing on the club’s home label, Freerange and Objektivity in recent years. He’s also
most notably spearheaded the RISE monthly club night and associated Rise Music imprint, as a
passionate proponent of the Afro house scene in Berlin, while building an ever-growing fanbase off the
back of his lauded Boiler Room last summer. His contribution to the storied Watergate mix series is
certainly richly deserved.
‘The Message’ EP exhibits Hyenah’s irresistibly warm and groovy sound across a collection of
impressions. The title track features former Bonobo collaborator Bajka on vocals and is a composition
brimming with soul that espouses a message of empowerment, underpinned by hip-swaying percussion
and uplifting synth stabs. Henrik Schwarz delivers a pair of classy remixes. The first, re-focuses the
track’s energy around a funky undulating synthline that builds towards an intriguing finish. The Dub
version may have stripped out the vocal, but in trademark Schwarz style, the remaining instrumental is
high soaring musical drama. Hyenah links with fellow RISE founder Floyd Lavine for ‘Soul Rise’, a superb
Afro groover that’s intricate and colourful in equal doses and a timely reminder of why there’s so much
excitement surrounding the talented pair. ‘Warm Drum’ is simple, yet extremely effective, as a catchy key
pattern loops with intensity before punchy bass drops into focus and brings the party.
Hyenah close out the EP alongside vocalist Lazarusman with ‘Not Enough’, a hymn to anti-racism, that’s
not only vital in its message, but stirring with its musical impact. More
