With “Oyo (Radio Edit),” Varun Fernandes reminds us why he’s one of Goa’s most seasoned producers in the electronic scene. Pulled from his Nova EP, this track is a pure Afro House heater — hypnotic, spiritual, and built for the kind of dancefloors that don’t sleep until sunrise.
“Oyo” wastes no time pulling you into its groove. A pulsating kick drum locks in early, wrapped around rich percussive textures that sound like they were lifted from a late-night drum circle. The African vocal hook soulful, chant-like, and completely irresistible, adds a layer of human warmth to the electronic pulse, creating that signature Afro House tension between the organic and the digital.

Another thing that makes “Oyo (Radio Edit)” stand out isn’t just its rhythm; it’s the way Fernandes balances movement and emotion. The arrangement builds like a ritual, minimal at first, then expanding with deep synth lines, claps, and rising atmospheric pads that give it a cinematic lift. There’s an undeniable ancestral energy here, something that feels both ancient and futuristic at the same time.
For a “radio edit,” the track still holds plenty of underground depth. It’s clean, well-produced, and structured to catch both casual listeners and serious house heads. You can easily imagine it sliding between Black Coffee and Da Capo in a sunset DJ set, or looping endlessly on repeat during your next solo night drive.

Varun Fernandes clearly knows his lane “Oyo” is polished yet primal, modern yet deeply rooted. It’s a celebration of rhythm, connection, and the kind of house music that speaks through body movement more than words.
