“Ayoba” is a slang term used by South Africans to express amazement. 

It is derived from other slang terms, like “Ayeye” or “Ayoyoyo.” It was originally meant as an approval/appreciation of good dancing, although the exact origins of the phrase are unknown. It is thought to have roots in Johannesburg township culture. It is however, uniquely South African and expresses delight, excitement, agreement and approval. It is also used as a greeting.

So now you know! Out now on Man Recordings…

It’s been a while since we last got a mix from Finnish wunderkids Sharkslayer, a busy production schedule has taken precedence, with remixes out on Kitsune, Southern Fried and of course Discobelle Records in the past couple of months.
