International DJ/producer duo Pacho & Pepo, renowned for their seamless fusion of Afro, organic and melodic house across global dancefloors, have released their latest single titled Maitu.
Maitu follows on from the pair’s celebrated catalogue of genre-spanning releases, further cementing their reputation for weaving evocative rhythms with rich melodic textures. The track showcases the duo’s evolving sonic identity, combining deep groove elements with emotional depth to reflect contemporary underground influence.
Across festival stages and club rooms worldwide, Pacho & Pepo’s productions have consistently resonated with audiences and DJs alike, earning support from tastemakers and playlists across the electronic music community.
Maitu is now available on major streaming platforms – marking the latest chapter in the duo’s expanding musical journey.
The track began life as an instrumental, with the duo first focusing on groove, atmosphere and overall mood, guided by a deep Afro House foundation. Once the initial structure was in place, the music was shared with vocalist Sofyia Nzau, who immediately connected with the energy of the production. Inspired by the track’s emotional pull, she went on to write exclusive lyrics and record vocals specifically for the project. From there, Pacho & Pepo refined the production around her performance, ensuring the instrumental and vocal unfolded as a single, cohesive emotional journey.
Maitu reflects the duo’s increasingly intentional and refined approach to production. While early releases leaned heavily into energy and dancefloor impact, their current sound places greater emphasis on musicality, emotion and detail. Space, dynamics and organic elements now play a central role, allowing grooves to breathe and melodies to guide the narrative. Afro influences remain at the core, but are confidently balanced with deeper, melodic and hypnotic textures.
This evolution is closely tied to their experience behind the decks. Playing live continues to shape the way they produce, with careful consideration given to how percussion drives a room, how bass moves a crowd, and how vocals create emotional peaks on large sound systems. Tracks like Maitu are designed not just for release, but to live naturally within their own DJ sets – born from the dancefloor and tested in real time.
As DJs, Pacho & Pepo’s sets mirror this hybrid philosophy. Afro and organic rhythms form the foundation, but are seamlessly blended with Tech House, Progressive and Melodic Techno influences. Their performances move fluidly between spiritual, organic moments and more driving, club-focused sections, always prioritising storytelling over genre constraints. Each set is built as a journey, shaped instinctively by the energy of the crowd.
Looking ahead, the duo’s focus is split between consistent studio output and expanding their international presence. A steady stream of releases across Afro House, Organic House and Melodic House is planned, alongside further experimentation with new textures and collaborations with vocalists who bring cultural authenticity and emotional depth. On the touring side, they are aiming to deepen connections with global audiences through festivals, curated club sets and long-term relationships with key scenes rather than one-off appearances.
Despite the high-energy environments their music inhabits, much of Pacho & Pepo’s creative process takes place away from the dancefloor. Quiet, focused studio sessions, inspiration drawn from cinema, nature and traditional music, and a meticulous attention to detail underpin what might otherwise sound effortless. That patience and precision continue to define their work, positioning Maitu as a natural next step in their evolving sonic identity.
