Songs made with Amapiano
Beats made in XO using the Amapiano expansion, with some added instruments and samples.
Township roots. Global dance floors.
Amapiano is house music's laid-back South African cousin, the one who slows the tempo, pulls the kick back, and still gets the whole room moving. Born around Johannesburg and Pretoria, it has become the soundtrack of packed dance floors far beyond South Africa.
This XO expansion captures its unhurried swing. Kicks are faded low and warm, so the groove lives in the percussion: congas, tambourines, shakers, and woodblocks trading off-beat patterns above a soft sub.
What sets Amapiano apart is space. Sub-heavy kicks are shaped to leave room for a gliding log drum bassline, and hand percussion is blended with foley and noise for a dusty, lived-in texture. Some presets even stack congas with tambourine hits into sounds you won't find in a standard kit.
With 75 presets and 206 samples, all fully editable in XO's sequencer, every pattern is a starting point rather than a finished loop.
