El Khatib Delivers Afro-House Groove and Summer Energy on "Under The Sun"

As temperatures rise and dance floors move outdoors, “Under The Sun” arrives as a fitting soundtrack for the season. The latest release from El Khatib on Makemba Music blends uplifting melodies, infectious percussion, and a warm groove built for both sunset sessions and peak-time moments.

Driven by rolling rhythms and organic textures, “Under The Sun” captures the balance that has become a hallmark of modern Afro house. Rich atmospheric elements and hypnotic drum patterns create a steady sense of movement throughout the record, while its melodic core gives the track a lasting quality that extends beyond the dance floor.

With its mix of energy and emotion, the release reflects El Khatib’s ability to craft music that connects on multiple levels. Rather than relying solely on club-focused impact, “Under The Sun” builds gradually, rewarding listeners with evolving layers and a strong sense of musical storytelling.

The release also highlights Makemba Music’s continued commitment to forward-thinking electronic music. Known for spotlighting artists who blend cultural influences with contemporary production, the label once again delivers a record that feels equally at home in intimate venues, beach clubs, and festival settings.

To celebrate the release, El Khatib has also assembled an accompanying Beatport chart, featuring a selection of tracks that have shaped his recent sets and studio sessions. The chart offers insight into the sounds currently driving his artistic direction, ranging from deep and melodic grooves to high-energy Afro house cuts.
