Behind the Music

When Cultures and Genres Collide in a High-Energy Track

Luigi Anywhere’s electrifying single, ‘Isencane‘, is a fusion of Amapiano, Gqom, and Afrotech—symbolising the energy that defined our inaugural AmaGroove New Ground. Featuring an all-star lineup—South African Music Awards-nominated producer uBeyond, K-Zaka, Danish producer Kwaeku D, and powerful vocalists Smartblack Mampondo and Born Kxng—the release is a bold, high-energy track that captures the pulse of collaboration.

At its core, ‘Isencane’—which means “Still Young” in isiZulu—is a celebration of youthful energy and creative synergy. Each artist brings a distinct influence, shaping a pulsating fusion of sound that pushes South African electronic music forward.

Created through writing sessions, industry pitch meetings at Music Imbizo, and live showcases at TUT Arts Festival and the Danish Embassy, ‘Isencane’ is a testament to how New Ground provides a platform for artists to co-create, innovate, and launch their work onto bigger stages.
