Mimmo Falcone alias MoBlack has been at the forefront of the Afro House scene for decades, erecting and elevating a bulwark of the movement from its origins in the African continent and unto the world. But beyond that, the virtuoso is a renegade, a visionary who never let the confines of genres limit the depth and reach of his and his label’s music. Whether as producer, selector, or A&R, MoBlack’s sophisticated taste and defiance has not only helped shape the ever-evolving sound of the electronic music underground but also champions its universality, expanding its gambit, and propagating its ability to shake and move.

As a DJ, MoBlack is a sought-after mood setter, who brings unparalleled energy to any venue, from intimate club settings to festivals all over the globe. Balancing eclectic taste with an ear for the most forward-thinking, sonic paragons, he takes listeners in climactic voyages that not only transcend dancers to other realms but also teach them a new way of feeling music.

His repertoire has, throughout the years, manifested superb versatility and a level of authenticity built on a profound understanding of music and soul-to-soul connection with sound. His music echoes rich tapestries of cultures, inspired by ten years of calling Ghana home and the rest, seeing the world with deeper appreciation. It was in Ghana that Mimmo was reborn, touched by the Twi spirit of Mo.’ But ever a curious artist with a penchant for a diverse range of music, MoBlack always cruises the axis between past, future and present, letting the sacred spaces between and within House, Electronic, Melodic and Techno, invigorate his craft.

Mimmo’s tenure as Traxsource Afro House A&R Manager from 2016-2018 spanned some of the most formative and progressive eras for Afro House, motivating its inclusion as an official Beatport genre in 2018. But it is MoBlack’s house, MoBlack Records, that built a home for talented producers, from established names to up and coming superstars. The Italian born and globally raised artist has given back to the community, scouring the world for fresh sounds and showcasing sheer and raw talent to the global arena. MoBlack carried the onus on his shoulders, to evolve and advance the Afro House sound, and he delivered, setting the bar higher as he pushed the genre further, cross- pollinating into other genres.
