I started Afrocentric Records with the aim of showcasing some of the high quality house music coming out of the African Continent, which I feel is too easily lost in the stacks of new music being released. I want to provide a platform for these talented producers and artist’s to expose them to a wider audience by releasing their music across the world in Digital and vinyl format
