Electronic music act AfroSalto pulls together Tanzanian Bongo Flava heavyweight Diamond Platnumz and South African vocalist Chlé on “SHU!”
Released through AS IT IS Records, the collaboration bridges two worlds that don’t often meet on the same record. So “AfroSalto SHU!” leans into a powerful Afro House sound, built on deep electronic production and a fast-paced dance feel that suits both DJ sets and streaming playlists. Diamond Platnumz brings his instantly recognizable vocal presence into the mix, while Chlé adds her Amapiano-rooted style, giving the record two distinctly African textures layered over European electronic production.
Songwriting and composition credits stretch across four names: Naseeb Abdul Juma Issack, better known as Diamond Platnumz, Chlé’s real name Siphesihle Nkosi, Gregor Van Offeren, and Nick Van De Wall, the producer widely recognized as Afrojack. That kind of international writing credit list shows just how many creative hands shaped this record before it reached listeners.
Available in both an original version and an extended mix, “SHU!” gives itself room to work across multiple contexts, whether that’s a late-night dance session or a radio-friendly playlist slot. This isn’t AfroSalto’s first time reworking Diamond and Chlé’s material either, having previously remixed their earlier version of the same track.
