AUDIO: Hakeem Syrbram – “A Little Bit of Afro Vol 6”

Milwaukee selector Hakeem Syrbram is back behind the decks, and his latest installment in the long-running “Keemixes” series proves he’s nowhere near running out of grooves. “A Little Bit of Afro Vol 6” is the newest chapter in his ongoing love letter to Afro house, and it lands with the kind of confident, sun-soaked momentum that’s become a signature of the series.

Where past volumes leaned into the soulful and the spiritual, Vol 6 feels especially dancefloor-ready. Hakeem threads together percussive Afro house cuts, hypnotic basslines, and just enough vocal warmth to keep things human between the drums. It’s the sort of mix that works equally well on a late-night drive down I-43 or a backyard cookout that refuses to end before sunrise.

What keeps Syrbram’s mixes in heavy rotation isn’t just track selection — it’s pacing. He builds tension without rushing, lets transitions breathe, and trusts the listener to ride out the slow burns. Vol 6 is a clinic in that approach, and a reminder that Milwaukee’s electronic underground has more depth than it often gets credit for.

If you’ve been sleeping on the “A Little Bit of Afro” series, this is a perfect entry point. And if you’ve been keeping up since Vol 1, you already know the drill: press play, turn it up, and let it run.
