Nguzunguzu unveils prismatic mixtape Perfect Lullaby

Known as Nguzunguzu, the Los Angeles-based pair of Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda recently gifted us an immersive sequel to their 2011 mixtape Perfect Lullaby, which has been posted with an accompanying stream of image-fragments on DIS Magazine.

Nguzunguzu’s productions may cater to a more specific audience, but there is little debate over the high quality of Maroof and Pineda’s electro/synth/dance mixes.

Though global in its scope, the latest mix is composed of recognizable edits of songs by American artists such as Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Usher, Mary J. Blige, and Future. Perfect Lullaby Vol. II stitches together a colorful assortment of sounds, weaving through smooth-yet-vibrant dance beats ranging from hip-hop to zouk and kizomba styles.

If you’re not visually-inclined, or you don’t want to hog all the bandwidth in your house, the image-free version of the mix can be streamed below.
