Globally recognized Afrobeat sensation DJ Shinski has just dropped his new Break The Chains mix, and it’s already turning heads across the internet. The Nairobi-born, Houston-based entertainer teamed up with Ugandan heavyweight Bebe Cool to rework and reimagine tracks off Bebe’s Break The Chains album—and the result is one smooth.
Shinski, who first gained attention in Houston’s nightlife around 2014 and went full-time in 2019, is no stranger to breaking boundaries. His career has seen him snag nominations like Best African DJ in the USA (AFRIMMA) and World DJ of the Year (NEA Awards), and now with this latest mix, he’s proving once again why he’s in a league of his own.
The Break The Chains mix doesn’t just slap—it fuses East African sounds with the bounce and bass of international club culture.
Shinski opens the set with subtle builds and Afrobeat undertones, weaving through fan favorites like “Cheque,” “Boy Like Me,” and “Body Bounce,” all while adding his signature transitions, layered drops, and unpredictable energy shifts.
And if you’re thinking this is just another mixtape floating on the web, think again. Shinski transforms the whole listening experience into a sonic journey—one that starts in Nairobi’s dance circles, flows through Kampala’s street rhythm, then jets into Houston’s lit nightclubs.
Within hours of release, fans across Kenya, Uganda, the diaspora, and the US were already dubbing it a “continental crossover masterpiece.”
Enjoy the Mix!!
