Mozambique’s Sky White is ready to spark a new wave in the Afro-house scene with the release of his blazing new single, Start The Fire, dropping August 15th across all major platforms.
Sky White is a Mozambican music producer, DJ, and remixer, celebrated for his emotive house productions and immersive live sets. Inspired by Black Coffee’s performance at the Ballantine’s Human Orchestra, Sky began his music journey at age 10, and by 16 was performing live. He has since played prominent festivals, signed tracks to respected electronic labels, and earned a growing fanbase across Africa and beyond.
A master of emotion-packed grooves and spellbinding rhythms, Sky White has already proven himself a musical force with over 600,000 global streams, 112,000 Instagram fans, and a wave of new music on the way. From breakout performances at UR Home to captivating festival stages across Southern Africa he returns with a track destined to set the dance floor alight from Maputo to Milan.
“Start The Fire” opens with a dark, mysterious energy—minimal textures and subtle tribal percussion smolder like embers waiting to ignite. As layers build, a solid kick, crisp claps, and warm atmospheric pads fan the flames into a rising groove. The track erupts into a deep, hypnotic Afro-Tech drop driven by organic basslines, resonant synths, and primal percussion. Raw, sensual, and liberating, it’s a sonic journey that burns slow, then blazes — made to light up late-night dance floors.
“I wanted to create something that feels like the beginning of something bigger,” Sky explains. “‘Start The Fire’ is that first spark—whether it’s in a club, a set, or your spirit.”
Inspired by his earliest influences, including the life-changing performance of Black Coffee at Ballantine’s Human Orchestra, Sky began his journey at just 10 years old and launched his DJ career at 16. Since then, his passion for sound has translated into unforgettable live sets—renowned for their emotional depth and dancefloor power.
Blending soulful Afro-house with a future-facing sound, Sky White is shaping a new wave of electronic music from Africa to Europe. As his fire spreads, so does his global impact.
Start The Fire is released through Xibalo Records.
