Afriqua Explores Dreamlike Depths on “FANTA SEA” with Butch on Remix Duty

Afriqua doesn’t just drop tracks — he drops experiences. With “FANTA SEA”, out now on Brooklyn’s rising label Love On Cropsey, he crafts a piece of music that feels less like a club tune and more like a lucid dream with a kick drum heartbeat.

The original is pure Afriqua: shimmering percussion, melodies that drift between light and shadow, and an atmosphere that swallows you whole. It’s intimate and expansive at the same time — music designed to make you lose track of time, whether on the dancefloor or inside your own head.

Then comes Butch with the remix, and he flips the vibe completely. Where the original floats, his version drives — hypnotic grooves, acid touches, and a relentless energy that feels custom-built for afterhours chaos. Two sides of the same coin: one track invites you to escape, the other dares you to surrender.

Afriqua’s never been about fitting into boxes. Classically trained but raised with hip-hop instincts, his sound has always been about breaking borders, whether that’s in the studio, at DC-10, or behind the decks at Berghain. “FANTA SEA” is just the latest chapter in a career built on refusing to play it safe.

For Love On Cropsey, this third release is a statement too. After spotlighting label boss Mink and London’s Azaad, bringing Afriqua into the fold proves the imprint’s serious about shaping a lane that’s soulful, bold, and forward-thinking.
