XO Expansion: Afro House

House grooves with an African heartbeat

Where rhythm leads and movement follows.

Afro House pairs the pulse of house music with African percussion and polyrhythmic grooves. Rolling congas, djembes, shakers, and syncopated rhythms create a hypnotic sense of movement and a different energy on the dancefloor, where rhythm instinctively becomes movement. It’s a sound that has become the soundtrack of everything from sunset beach clubs to peak-time festival stages.

Afro House is a XO Expansion capturing the rich percussion, deep grooves, and organic energy of modern Afro House. Earthy kicks, rolling hand percussion, crisp shakers, and percussion-driven rhythms come together in patterns designed to keep tracks moving forward.

With 75 fully editable presets and 200+ handcrafted samples, you get instant access to genre-defining grooves inspired by Afro House’s unique blend of African rhythm and contemporary house music.
