Johannesburg, South Africa, July 2026 – Fifteen years after its original release, “Go Around” by Bongi Dube finds new life on dancefloors through an evocative Afro House reinterpretation from South African producer and DJ Mpho.Wav. Having quietly built momentum over the past six-plus months through DJ sets and exclusive plays, the remix has already become a sought-after ID among Afro House enthusiasts, with audiences repeatedly requesting its release after hearing it in clubs, festivals, and curated dance music experiences.
The new version preserves the emotional essence and timeless songwriting of the original while introducing rich Afro House textures, hypnotic percussion and contemporary electronic production that connects with today’s global dance music audience.
“Go Around has always been a special record. The goal was never to replace the original, but to honour it and introduce it to a new generation through a sound that reflects where dance music is today,” says Mpho.Wav. “To be entrusted with reimagining “Go Around” by Bongi Dube, originally produced by the legendary Mondli Ngcobo—a visionary vocalist, composer, songwriter and producer whose music has inspired generations—is a true full-circle moment for me. I grew up listening to this record, never imagining that one day I’d have the privilege of giving it a new heartbeat“
At a time when African electronic music continues to command international attention, Go Around (Mpho.Wav Remix) serves as a bridge between generations, celebrating the legacy of a beloved song while embracing the evolution of Afro House culture.
