EMPIRE, leading independent label, distributor, and publisher, delivers a 9-track album HOUSE of EMPIRE out today. The compilation features dance remixes of top hits by EMPIRE Africa artists including Fireboy DML, Black Sherif, June Freedom, L.A.X., Clemzy, Asake, and Kizz Daniel. To bring this collaboration truly global, EMPIRE has intentionally featured producers from across the globe, naming each track after the city its remixer calls home. That includes Night Tales, VHOOR, Moody Jones, DJ Melzi, Mike Kerrigan, Clayton William, 2PHONE, Luke Andy, and Late London.
With HOUSE of EMPIRE, the label aims to bridge two diverse regional cultures to the global scale. The album has sonic elements including Amapiano, Phonk, and other sub-genres of House. HOUSE of EMPIRE is a groundbreaking moment in global music culture and represents collaboration across cultures and genres.
EMPIRE is the No.1 record label in Nigeria, Africa for two years in a row. We’ve achieved record breaking success with Fireboy DML’s hit single “Peru” with Ed Sheeran which was the #2 on the Top 40 UK charts for 2022 and this year earned a RIAA-Gold certification. Additionally over the past two years EMPIRE has launched the career of Asake who has already amassed over 1.75 billion streams. Two years in a row EMPIRE has organized writing camps in our San Francisco studio which resulted in Asake’s Work of Art album this year and 2022’s Where We Come From (Vol. 1) compilation album that birthed Kizz Daniel’s “Cough”.
