FrodoJoJo drops new track “Kunai”

South African self-taught music producer FrodoJoJo is an exciting new artist walking his own path in the techno music scene. With a style influenced by modern dance DJs such as Timmy Trumpet and Blasterjaxx, as well as old school rave classics, FrodoJoJo creates music that’s as much a personal journey as it is a sonic experience.

FrodoJoJo’s approach to music is deeply personal, with the artist sharing, “I make music for me and people with similar tastes, though I rarely meet people like that. I’m a loner with a hobby and that’s basically that. I have no time for acting formal or pretending. I try to make each song a journey… Something like a painting with sound.” This philosophy is clear in his musical output, where each track is a thrilling dance music adventure.

First officially sharing his sound with the world via his debut single “Techno-Phobia” last year in November, he quickly followed up with his sophomore track “Dystopia.” Now he brings us his latest release with his new third single titled “Kunai.”

His first release of the year, “Kunai” serves as a tribute to some of his favourite dance music artists, blending the best of 90s rave sounds with influences from Timmy Trumpet and Blasterjaxx. Filtered in with rhythmic pulses and rising synth textures, a vocal sample ushers in the first drop to deliver a pounding techno experience driven by a thumping beat and capped by intense synth top lines.

Fading out the elements and dropping back to an eerie soundscape, sweeping textures are met with a steady rhythm as the rumble of bass hints at the incoming energy. Once again injecting contrast and suspense, the track rises again to deliver a different techno vibe while still linking the whole track together. With more releases on the horizon, “Kunai” offers the latest example of FrodoJoJo’s creativity and production flair while continuing to build the hype for his future releases.
