“Dopamine” by Gina Jeanz

Not only is South-African based Gina Jeanz waving the flag for electronic music in Africa, but she is also one of the few female producers across the African music scene as a whole. As adept behind the decks as behind the scenes of production, Jeanz is uplifting women in the field through her craft.

Ahead of the release of her album Lucid Theory in December, Gina Jeanz delivers “Dopamine” featuring Zambian vocalist MOONGA K., a high-energy dance floor filler led by lush deep house and future bass rhythms. With the world emerging from a period of darkness, the infectious track is about the beauty of celebrating life once again.

Discussing “Dopamine”, Gina Jeanz explains: ‘This track particularly touches on mental health. I wanted to approach the production in a more uplifting/upbeat tone mostly because I felt that having this platform to produce music and express myself while dealing with my own personal journey really carried me through. MOONGA K. who features on the track also expresses his own thoughts and feelings and after sharing our personal stories in the studio, we decided to work on “Dopamine” and make it a celebratory track. In short, it’s about accepting the struggle, knowing that it doesn’t define you, celebrating life and working towards overcoming one’s personal battles.’
