Rising DJ and producer Shadu makes a powerful entrance on Glasgow Underground with “Dembow” — a high-octane Afro-house bomb engineered for the biggest modern festival stages.

Fresh off the success of her Beatport Afro House #1 hit “Contigo,” Shadu pushes her sound forward once again, delivering a percussive, Latin-flavoured cut that seamlessly connects the worlds of Afro House and Afro Tech.

Discovered and brought to GU by Sam Dexter, “Dembow” first arrived as a raw sketch bursting with potential. After a focused round of A&R refinement, it evolved into one of the most impactful Afro weapons the label has signed — a track built on layered tribal percussion, a deep rolling bassline, and a commanding pitched-down Spanish vocal that hits like a rallying cry on the dancefloor.

This is Afro House at its most physical and connective — a sound rooted in groove, community, and pure kinetic energy. The kind of peak-time moment you’d expect from Black Coffee or JAMIIE when they’re dialed into their most inspired form.
