Close-up press photo of producer Tone Rich, promoting his album 'Axé Ilê', known for fusing Afro-Brazilian and global electronic rhythms.

Stepping into the ring, Tone Rich closes out the year with ‘Axé Ilê’, his anticipated artist album, highlighted here through a handpicked selection of standout cuts from the project.

A producer, artist, and sound engineer with a gift for fusing global rhythms that touch the soul, Tone Rich crafts sonic stories that move effortlessly across cultures. His sound is a seamless blend of Afro-Brazilian percussion, Hindi chants, and moments where Yorùbá spirituality meets delicate Japanese textures, creating a deeply immersive and emotionally rich listening experience.

Guiding listeners through a journey of revelation and renewal, Tone Rich taps into mind, body, and spirit. ‘Axé Ilê’ is shaped by a transformative year that took him 110,000 miles across four continents. The result is an LP rooted in profound personal rebirth and spiritual awakening, captured through vibrant rhythms and purposeful storytelling.

Opening the album is ‘Axé Rising’, a track driven by Afro-infused energy and infectious vocal elements, one that carries all the markings of a future crowd favorite. Following on is ‘Namah Shivaya Fire Within’, a powerful tapestry of Hindi-inspired soundscapes that radiate warmth and intensity. The journey continues with ‘Maré Do Ilê’, led by a breathtaking vocal performance and Tone Rich’s signature groove-led production.

Closing out this selection is the Ancestral Flow Mix of ‘Maré Do Ilê’, which pushes the track in a new direction while preserving its unmistakable vocal hook.

With ‘Axé Ilê’ out now via Enriched Sound LLC, Tone Rich’s own imprint where art, technology, and tempo pulse as one, there’s plenty more to come from this boundary-shaping creator.

Renzo Zong Drops ‘Nostalgia Iluminada EP’ on Zompayra Records

Published

Peruvian DJ Renzo Zong wearing a black fur bucket hat and sunglasses, posing for the release of his Nostalgia Iluminada EP.

Peruvian DJ and music Producer Renzo Zong unveils his latest body of work, the ‘Nostalgia Iluminada EP’, released via Zompayra Records. A two-track collection that draws from Afro House, organic textures, and emotionally driven production, the EP reflects Zong’s ongoing exploration of sound, identity, and atmosphere, each track offering a different facet of his evolving sonic palette.

Opening with ‘Primavera’, the EP begins on a bright, expansive note. Uplifting pads and a delicate piano line set the tone, as a steady beat gradually folds into the mix, the track develops with a sense of patience and clarity, holding listeners in a space that feels immersive and intentional. Field recordings and atmospheric details weave through the arrangement, adding depth and movement to the groove; underneath it all, a constant pad anchors the piece, rising in tension as melodic motifs and rhythmic elements interplay. The drop brings a sense of release that loops back to the track’s core energy, thoughtful and expressive, it highlights Renzo Zong’s command of space and sound design.

‘Cariño Bonito’ follows with a more vocal-led approach. Uplifting pads again open the track, this time met with a groove-laden rhythm and the emotional presence of Peruvian singer-songwriter Camenino, whose vocals guide the experience from the beginning. The arrangement opens into a midsection where warm pads and percussive textures build together, gradually raising the tension with an arcing synth line. The final release lands with a mix of emotion and intent, gentle but impactful. The collaboration brings a strong sense of identity, rooted in cultural resonance and melodic richness.

Across both tracks, the ‘Nostalgia Iluminada EP’ offers a deeply personal and musically engaging snapshot of where Renzo Zong is currently headed. Built on a foundation of groove, tone and emotional intent, this EP solidifies his voice as a Producer with a clear and evolving vision.

With ‘Nostalgia Iluminada EP’, Renzo Zong continues to craft work that bridges emotional weight with rhythmic finesse, grounded in Afro House influences but unafraid to move beyond them, this release offers a look at a Producer building his own space within the global Electronic landscape.

‘Nostalgia Iluminada EP’ is out now via Zompayra Records on all major digital platforms.
