The producer known for smooth, soulful Amapiano has swapped velvet for voltage. Abidoza's new eight-track EP, Club Controller, puts DJs and the dancefloor at the centre, and it is out now on all major streaming platforms.

The EP follows two singles released in September: "Club What" with Djy Vino, and "Chomi", with Djy Vino and KMAT featuring Trixx. Together they previewed a more energetic side of the multi-platinum producer, one that moves between streaming, DJ sets and club floors. The full project widens the circle, adding Calvin Fallo, Tumza D'kota and EI. Stephano to the collaborators already heard.

It is a notable turn for an artist best known for records such as "Baby Boy", "Siyathandana" and "Dinaledi". "Each track has its own vibe, and having these different artists come into the mix made the project even more exciting," Abidoza said. "I can't wait for people to get into it, for DJs to pick up the tracks and for the music to find its way onto the dancefloor."
