La’Dell Unveils Mwanzo EP: A New Beginning with Cafe De Anatolia

Brooklyn-born producer and DJ La’Dell is carving out a distinctive path in electronic music with his upcoming release, the Mwanzo EP, out September 25th, 2025 via Cafe De Anatolia Records. The project represents more than just a collection of tracks—it is a personal and artistic rebirth.

A Journey from Brooklyn to Global Sounds

La’Dell’s story began in Brooklyn, surrounded by Motown, Hip-Hop, and R&B influences. His early years in New York’s nightlife scene exposed him to the underground sounds of electronic music, igniting a passion that eventually grew into a full-time pursuit. From witnessing marathon showcases in Brooklyn to being inspired by the magic of Black Coffee in Ibiza, his experiences shaped both his taste and his vision as an artist.

“I’ve always been drawn to music as an outlet,” La’Dell reflects. “But electronic music became the language that allowed me to merge energy with emotion, and to create something that feels true to who I am.”

The Meaning of Mwanzo

At the heart of the EP is its title track, Mwanzo — a word that La’Dell discovered after the music was already written. In Swahili, it means new beginnings. The timing, he explains, couldn’t have been more perfect. “I had just committed fully to music as my career, and the word felt like a gift from the universe. It was exactly what this chapter in my life represented.”

Drawing on Afro-House influences and infused with ancestral energy, Mwanzo reflects both personal growth and a deeper connection to cultural heritage. Each track resonates with emotion, while maintaining the grooves and rhythms that drive the dance floor.

Collaborating with Cafe De Anatolia

Partnering with Cafe De Anatolia marks an important milestone for La’Dell. Known for blending world sounds with contemporary electronic music, the label provided the ideal platform for his artistic vision.

“I’ve admired Cafe De Anatolia for a long time,” he says. “Their ethos of connecting cultures through music aligns perfectly with my own. To release Mwanzo with them is not just exciting—it feels like being part of a global family.”

Looking Forward

While Mwanzo celebrates new beginnings, it’s only the start of what La’Dell has planned. Beyond the EP, he is working on fresh projects in New England, a festival appearance in Germany in 2026, and the foundation of his own label and event series, Sunday Scaries.

“My main focus will always be on honing my sound,” he says. “But this is just the beginning of something bigger. I’m building, step by step, with no rush—just enjoying the journey.”
