Àbáse, the project of Berlin-based Hungarian producer and keyboardist Szabolcs Bognár, is back with a second album entitled Awakening, following 2021’s Laroyê. Featuring an incredible lineup of close collaborators from Hungary, Germany, Ghana and Australia, the album was recorded live in Berlin’s Brewery Studios over the course of four days. Awakening carries traces from disparate musical influences, including classic Lagos Afrobeat, traditional Hungarian folk, Yoruba rhythms, house, techno and hip-hop.

After sharing a couple of tracks from the forthcoming album, and ahead of its release, Àbáse have shared a final single, the irresistible and exultant ‘Shining’. Take a listen below.

Awakening is out on July 5th through Analogue Foundation x Oshu Records x Bridge The Gap
