Record Sounds Like: For those who listen to Caiiro, Black Coffee, and Da Capo. Labels like Defected, Klub Records, and Make The Girls Dance Records.
Formula 410’s afRoPiaNo Vol. 1 is a tight seven-track statement built on movement first: shuffling Amapiano swing, House weight, and classic Afro percussion that’s happy to sit in the pocket and let the groove do the talking. There’s a clear sense of pacing across the tracklist, from moments of uplift moving into a firm forward pull that at times transmutes into something a little moodier, more hypnotic even.
The Baltimore link matters, too. The project’s rooted in a city with serious club DNA, and you can hear that discipline in the drums and the functional arrangements: clean builds, confident drops, no wasted moments. If your sets lean toward Caiiro, Black Coffee, Da Capo territory or you’re reaching for that classic Defected-adjacent polish with a underground edge: afRoPiaNo Vol. 1 is an easy fit.
Artist Quote – „Baltimore, MD has always been deep rooted in house and club music. Formula 410 keeps that persona going with their take on Amapiano, deep-house, and afro-house. Formula 410 is a ever changing and evolving production team with deep roots in making people dance.“
