Newmanhere 'Ayala' on Go Deeva Records

This week sees another Afro House chart. In the field of tempos, the slowest entry comes from Newmanhere's 'Ayala' in the Badbox Remix, released 14 April 2023 on Go Deeva Records. At 120 BPM, it sits at the lower end of the spectrum in a week where the chart's twelve records run from 120 to 124 BPM.

Newmanhere has released eleven times since 9 September 2014, with work mostly on InStereo Recordings and Nervous Records. The most recent release before this was 'Wild' on Switch Records, from 26 February 2021. BADBOX has four releases since 25 February 2022, mostly on Nervous Records, with the most recent being 'Summerians - Tulum' on Armada Music Albums, from 24 March 2023.

The record's audio profile is led by percussion, with a sparse percussive surface holding the track together. The level and headroom are both moderate, and the top end is pitched between bright and dark. This remix was charted by BLOND:ISH on 26 June, where it placed seventh of ten. The chart's other entries run to 124 BPM, so 'Ayala' is the slowest in this week's list, in a season where both Lisbon and Berlin are deep in high summer.
