Rising Afrohouse visionary Daniel Frost has returned with his most evocative release to date, “aneeté (old you)” — a pulsating, genre-defying track that seamlessly fuses melodic techno precision with the spiritual depth of Afrohouse. Built from hypnotic percussion, ancestral vocal layers, and a cinematic structure, aneeté isn’t just a dance track — it’s a ceremony of sound, a return to essence, and a bold reaffirmation of the artist’s growing global impact.


Crafted during a late-night moment of inspiration, aneeté carries the weight of memory and momentum. The title, translating loosely to “old you,” signals a reclamation of self — a theme Frost threads into every pulse and rhythm. With lush textures and an ever-building intensity, the track feels both timeless and urgent, designed for festival crescendos and introspective 3AM solitude alike.


“Home is the safe place the heart returns to,” says Frost. “aneeté is about remembering every version of ourselves — the ones who endured, the ones who hoped, and the ones still becoming.”


This deep connection to heritage and healing is no accident. Though raised in San Diego, Frost’s South African lineage reverberates through the drums and melodies he weaves together. As both composer and emotional cartographer, Frost creates with his instinct first — a self-taught pianist who doesn’t read music, instead trusting feeling to lead the way. That raw intimacy is evident in aneeté, a track that offers space to reflect as much as it demands movement.


Technically, aneeté is impeccably constructed. Ancestral chants fade into immersive synth pads. Tight, tribal grooves drive the track forward, while the melodic arcs bloom into something cinematic — a musical slow-burn that reaches euphoric release. It’s meditative and massive, bridging the club and the soul with a rare finesse.


Frost’s influences — from Shimza to Fred Again.., Amémé, and Adam Port — echo throughout the track, but never overpower it. What sets aneeté apart is how uniquely personal it feels. This isn’t just another Afrohouse banger; it’s a manifesto, the soundtrack of a spiritual return and forward march.
