As electronic music continues to blur borders and absorb global rhythms, SYNEKK is preparing to release a track that reflects a clear and intentional evolution in his sound. His upcoming single, “Dem Mali Mali,” arrives on January 9 across all major streaming platforms, marking a significant moment in his artistic journey—one rooted in collaboration, groove, and respect for Afro-influenced club culture.
Born Paul Bobrowski and originally from Germany, SYNEKK is currently based in Southeast Asia, where he has established himself as a fixture within the region’s nightlife ecosystem. Known for his foundations in Tech-House and Progressive-House, his recent productions signal a natural shift toward Afrohouse and Afrobeats—less a reinvention, and more a refinement shaped by environment, experience, and community. “Dem Mali Mali” sits confidently within that transition, prioritizing rhythm, movement, and emotional energy over genre labels.
At the heart of the release is collaboration. The single features Nes Mburu and CHUMA, two artists whose contributions bring depth and authenticity to the track. Kenyan-born producer and DJ Nes Mburu has become a respected name within contemporary Afrohouse, earning support from international tastemakers and consistent club rotation across Europe and Africa. His work has also found its way into sets by globally influential collectives such as Keinemusik, positioning him firmly within the genre’s global conversation.
CHUMA complements that foundation with expressive vocals and an instinctive understanding of Afro-influenced rhythms. Known for his adaptability and musical identity, he brings energy and character that elevate the track beyond a straightforward club tool. Together, the collaboration feels focused and intentional—artists meeting on shared creative ground rather than forcing a stylistic crossover.
SYNEKK has described the track’s development as a patient process. The instrumental existed for some time, but only found its true direction once the right collaborators became involved. When Nes Mburu and CHUMA connected with the record, their contributions added emotion, intention, and momentum that defined the final version. The result is a track that feels club-ready while remaining grounded in genuine artistic exchange.
Beyond the studio, SYNEKK’s influence extends into Southeast Asia’s high-profile event scene. As Music Director for EventsKL, he curates soundscapes for large-scale productions, luxury events, and private gatherings throughout Malaysia. That role has sharpened his understanding of musical flow and audience response—skills that translate directly into his production choices. His immersion in Afrohouse and Afrobeats through residencies and curated events has made the stylistic shift behind “Dem Mali Mali” feel organic rather than calculated.
The single also serves as a precursor to a larger body of work. SYNEKK’s debut EP, “Kenya Hear Me?”, is scheduled for release in early 2026 and will further explore Afrohouse and Afrobeats through international collaborations with artists including Nes Mburu, CHUMA, J Nana, and Lucinia Karrey. The project carries personal meaning: Kenya was the first African country SYNEKK visited, and its culture left a lasting impression that continues to inform his creative direction. Rather than chasing trends, the EP focuses on rhythmic depth, cultural exchange, and global club connectivity.
With “Dem Mali Mali,” SYNEKK positions himself within an international network of artists shaping the future of Afro-influenced electronic music. The release reflects growth, exploration, and respect for the genre’s roots—an evolution built on collaboration and lived experience rather than sudden transformation.
“Dem Mali Mali” will be released on January 9 on all major streaming platforms. Fans can pre-save the track now and follow SYNEKK through his official channels.
