Francis Mercier, Soa Mattrix, Mashudu, Emotionz DJ, Happy Jazzman 'Mina Nawe' on Soa Music Group

At 123 BPM, 'Mina Nawe' in the Francis Mercier Rework Extended Mix is the fastest of the five Afro House records this week, whose tempos run from 122 to 123. The track, filed as Afro House, arrived on Soa Music Group in November, and Francis Mercier placed it seventh of 19 in his own Voyage Voyage chart on 19 December, a field that also carried Tayllor, AUGUSTE and Kasango's 'Solitude', on Deep Root Tribe, at 13th.

Five names share the credit on this rework, from Francis Mercier's own remix work to the original artists Soa Mattrix, Mashudu, Emotionz DJ and Happy Jazzman. Seventh of 19 in a field this large is a solid mid-table finish, and being the single fastest record in a five-deep Afro House field this week gives it a distinct edge even without a chart-topping placement.
