SYNEKK Enters a New Chapter with Afrohouse Release “Dem Mali Mali” ft. CHUMA & Nes Mburu

German-born producer and DJ SYNEKK is stepping into a powerful new phase of his musical journey with the release of “Dem Mali Mali,” arriving January 9th. The Afrohouse/Afrobeat single features acclaimed Kenyan singer-songwriters CHUMA and Nes Mburu, marking the first official release from SYNEKK’s upcoming EP, Kenya Hear Me?

Now based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, SYNEKK — real name Paul Bobrowski — has been steadily evolving his sound and global presence. Known previously for club-focused electronic releases such as “Don’t Call Me” and “Fitna,” his latest work represents a bold creative shift and arguably his most defining project to date.

A Bold Move Into Afrohouse

With Dem Mali Mali, SYNEKK steps fully into the Afrohouse lane, blending groove-driven electronic production with authentic African songwriting and vocals. The track carries a deep rhythmic pulse, warm melodic layers, and an infectious energy that bridges club culture with cultural storytelling.

This release signals more than just a genre experiment — it’s a clear statement of artistic direction. Afrohouse becomes the foundation, not the accent.

Powerful Kenyan Collaborations

The single brings together two major voices from Kenya’s music scene:

• CHUMA, boasting over 580,000 monthly Spotify listeners and 15+ million streams
• Nes Mburu, supported by 408,000 monthly listeners and 15+ million streams

Their combined reach and credibility add significant momentum to the release, with early playlist interest already building ahead of launch. Their vocal performances bring emotional depth and authenticity, elevating the track beyond a standard electronic release.

Kenya Hear Me? — A Focused Artistic Vision

Dem Mali Mali serves as the opening statement for Kenya Hear Me?, an EP built exclusively around collaborations with Kenyan artists. In addition to CHUMA and Nes Mburu, the project includes work with J Nana, Luciana Karrey, and other artists currently in production.

Rather than hopping between styles, the EP reflects a deliberate and cohesive vision — merging African songwriting with globally accessible electronic production. The result is music that feels both culturally rooted and internationally relevant.

A Strategic Turning Point for SYNEKK

For SYNEKK, Kenya Hear Me? represents a defining milestone — creatively and strategically. The project positions him within the rapidly growing global Afrohouse movement while preserving his club-ready, international sound.

As Afrohouse continues its rise across Africa, Europe, and Asia, Dem Mali Mali signals SYNEKK’s arrival in a new lane; one shaped by collaboration, identity, and global ambition.
