France-based Afro House producer and DJ ARTO has released “Rìo Güeppi,” a new track that exemplifies his signature approach of fusing traditional African elements with contemporary club production. The single features hand-played percussion, tribal vocals, and African guitars crafted into what ARTO calls “organic, groove-driven Afro House.”

“Rìo Güeppi” opens with atmospheric instrumentation that gradually evolves into driving, upbeat rhythms designed for dance floor impact. The track demonstrates ARTO’s production technique of layering drums with call-and-response vocals and guitar-led motifs that build into explosive drops optimized for both big sound systems and editorial playlists.

ARTO’s aesthetic combines what he describes as “tactile and cinematic” elements , hand-played textures and choral components mixed with clean, dynamic production. This approach positions his work for clubs, radio, and curated playlists while maintaining the cultural authenticity rooted in pan-African rhythms. These collaborations build on ARTO’s foundation of blending traditional African musical elements with modern electronic production techniques.

“Rìo Güeppi” represents ARTO’s continued exploration of Afro House as a genre that bridges cultural heritage with contemporary club culture, creating what he calls “hypnotic builds, cinematic breaks and explosive drops” designed for global dance floors.

“Rìo Güeppi” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
