France-based producer and DJ ARTO has been steadily carving out his place in the global Afro House and Afro Tech scene, and his latest single “KUYA” is a powerful statement of intent. Designed for both clubs and curated playlists, the track captures the essence of ARTO’s style, organic, groove-driven, and deeply connected to the rhythmic traditions of Africa, while polished for today’s cutting-edge sound systems.
“KUYA” is a modern interpretation of Afro House. ARTO blends hand-played percussion with layered tribal chants and African guitar motifs, weaving them seamlessly into cinematic breaks and explosive drops. The result is a track that builds with hypnotic intensity before releasing into waves of energy, moving both body and spirit. Unlike formulaic dance music, “KUYA” feels alive; its tactile textures and evolving arrangements make each listen feel like a journey.
ARTO describes his approach as organic Afro House, but it leans heavily into Afro Tech territory as well, with crisp production and an ear for tension and release that keeps crowds locked in. His background as a live performer informs his studio work: every drum feels intentional, every vocal carries weight, and every drop lands with precision. It’s this duality of raw earthiness meeting futuristic production that sets ARTO apart.
With “KUYA,” ARTO proves he is more than a producer; he is a storyteller working through rhythm. His music doesn’t just entertain, it connects. Built for festivals, late-night club sets, and radio mixes alike, the track resonates with both underground tastemakers and broader audiences.
As ARTO continues to develop new releases and a touring schedule, “KUYA” positions him as an artist to watch on the international stage. Afro House is evolving, and ARTO is one of the names pushing it forward with authenticity and fire.
