Tdotostudios brings forth a refreshing new sound of lo-fi Afrobeat into the UK’s music scene. “AFUA” is a female Ghanaian name with the meaning of “born on Friday.” In there, the gentle beauty bounced lightly between the beaming sonic palettes in the reawakening of translucent, melodic tales. The rhythm that is deep in the souls is the groove that pulses and flows through the vein in its natural, naked color. The heart and soul beats for beauty, belonging and enlightenment.

There’s no need for lyrics in “AFUA.” The track itself tells everything you need to know about AFUA. Like a Ghanaian impression that is being channeled through light electronics and mood-filled lo-fi, the soundscapes and melodies communicate a natural pursuit of purity and transparency from the artist.

Tdotostudios, also known as Theo Davis is a UK-based medical doctor turned Silver-Award winning music producer. Although the song is only his debut release, the talent is obvious. The genre of Afrobeat has been long revolved around abstract, expressionistic sonic palettes and more dominating beats, but instead of putting the groove at the forefront, tdotostudios provides a different perspective on how we perceive the deeply moving grooves and rhythms.

It’s a pulse that is not direct or aggressive, but more like an underlying or natural pulse that is so deeply embedded into the music itself. Even without the beats, the rhythms are within the melodies and every instrumental layers. That’s something quite different about the way that “AFUA” makes you feel. Additionally, tdotostudios’ freshly take on lo-fi and soft electronics with Afrobeat creates a sensitive and atmospheric palette that is quite unique for the artist.
