Globally acclaimed Afrobeat maestro DJ Shinski has just unleashed his latest creation, the Break The Chains mix—and it’s already making waves across the internet.
The Nairobi-born, Houston-based DJ collaborated with Ugandan music titan Bebe Cool to rework and reimagine tracks from Bebe’s Break The Chains album, delivering a fresh, genre-blending masterpiece.
Shinski, who made his mark on Houston’s nightlife scene back in 2014 before going full-time in 2019, is no stranger to pushing musical boundaries. With accolades including AFRIMMA’s Best African DJ in the USA and a nomination for World DJ of the Year at the NEA Awards, his reputation as a top-tier talent continues to soar.
The Break The Chains mix goes far beyond your average remix tape. It’s a bold fusion of East African rhythms and global club energy, laced with Shinski’s signature transitions, layered drops, and unexpected sonic twists.
Opening with smooth builds and Afrobeat undertones, the mix flows seamlessly through standout tracks like “Cheque,” “Boy Like Me,” and “Body Bounce.” Each track is reimagined with a distinctive flair, taking listeners on a high-energy journey through Nairobi’s vibrant dance scene, Kampala’s street beats, and the electric atmosphere of Houston’s nightclubs.
Within just hours of release, fans from Kenya, Uganda, the diaspora, and the U.S. were already calling it a “continental crossover masterpiece.”
