International DJ and producer Sam Blacky has teamed up with the dynamic duo Local Singles to release their new single, “Hotsteppa,” a track that embodies the essence of tribal Afrohouse. The collaboration between Blacky and Local Singles perfectly blends their unique sounds into a rhythmic and euphoric tune.
“Hotsteppa” showcases Blacky’s love for global sounds and travel, integrating deep bass with tribal instrumentals and vocals. The track creates an immersive experience, making listeners feel as though they are dancing in a jungle or desert. It gained early support from DJs like Diplo and Francis Mercier at Burning Man and Tom & Collins in Tulum, signaling its potential as a dance floor favorite.
This collaboration stemmed from a serendipitous moment when Blacky and Local Singles attended a Keinemusik concert at the Brooklyn Mirage, unaware they were in the same crowd. Upon discovering this, they decided to commemorate the moment by creating “Hotsteppa,” celebrating their friendship and mutual passion for Afrohouse music.
Local Singles, known for their energetic stage presence and successful releases, have received support from top industry names such as Fisher, Diplo, John Summit, and more. Their hit remix of Disclosure & Flume’s “You & Me” further solidified their reputation. The duo expressed excitement about working with Blacky and releasing “Hotsteppa” through Spinnin’ Deep, highlighting the journey it took to bring the track to life.
Sam Blacky, a multitalented DJ and cultural icon from San Diego, has made waves in the electronic music scene since her debut. Her unique blend of Afro-House and Latin House has captivated audiences globally, earning her a spot on 1001 Tracklists’ “Future of Dance” producer list for two consecutive years.
“Hotsteppa” is now available on all major streaming platforms, offering a fresh, tribal-infused sound that is sure to resonate with fans of both Blacky and Local Singles.
