Afro House Frequency Spectrum vs. Pink Noise
Five Afro House records measured against pink noise, every track gain-matched to -14 LUFS:
- Zakes Bantwini “Osama”
- Zerb “Mwaki”
- Adam Port “Move”
- HUGEL “I Adore You”
- Rampa “Say What”
Afro house carries a full, even low end (sub and bass both about 7 dB above pink) with a mono sub. The low mids stay warm (+4 dB), the midrange sits right on pink, and everything above 2 kHz falls 4–6 dB below it. The result is a rounded, bottom-heavy tilt with a comparatively soft top, and the five tracks agree on it closely.
