The Angels (IL) 'El Barrio' on Make The Girls Dance Records

Berlin's Sabo has charted The Angels (IL)'s 'El Barrio' in his Spicy Sumac chart, sitting at number eight out of eleven. Released on Make The Girls Dance Records on 17 May 2024, this Afro House cut runs at a driving 124 BPM, making it the fastest of the eight Afro House records in this week's selection, which span tempos from 118 to 124 BPM.

The Extended Mix of 'El Barrio' delivers a rolling, percussive groove with a warm bassline and subtle melodic touches, staying true to the label's recent output. Make The Girls Dance Records, last covered on 20 February with The Deepshakerz, Xander Pratt, and Black Savana's 'King', continues to push functional, dancefloor-ready house.

In B minor (10A), 'El Barrio' finds a natural home in late-night sets, its pace and key making it a versatile tool for DJs moving between deeper and more energetic moments. As Berlin's September season unfolds, this one is clearly finding favour with selectors like Sabo.
