Skilz & MAD are back with a new single, and it hits hard in all the right places. ‘Echoes of Thandaza’ is a deep, hypnotic journey through Afro Tech and progressive sounds. It’s rooted in soul, charged with emotion, and built to move.
Out now on their own label GaGa Records, the track opens with tribal percussion and warm, evolving synths. A spiritual vocal carries through the mix, subtle and powerful, sitting in the groove like a quiet prayer. It’s the kind of sound that doesn’t force the moment but invites it in.
At its core, this release showcases the chemistry between Sam Skilz and Miss MAD. This isn’t a new pairing. It’s a creative bond that’s been shaped over ten years of collaboration, both behind the decks and in the studio. Together, they’ve become a steady presence in the Afro Tech and Melodic scenes, drawing on their shared European roots and individual cultural heritages to craft something personal and distinctive.
Sam Skilz brings years of production experience and the weight of his label behind him. Miss MAD, with her Romanian roots and genre-spanning productions, adds depth and emotion to the project. Both artists are educators as well as performers, running the Skilz DJ Academy in Luxembourg to support the next generation of talent.
‘Echoes of Thandaza’ is not just a track. It’s a reflection of shared history, rhythm, and intention. It captures the feeling of something ancient meeting something new. Whether you hear it in a club, at sunset, or alone in your headphones, it resonates.
Skilz & MAD aren’t chasing trends. They’re building something lasting, and this release is a clear sign they’re only just getting started.
