MoBlack

MoBlack Records has become one of the most respected names in Afro House by staying connected to the culture, the roots of the sound, and the global community surrounding it. Founded by Italian DJ and producer Mimmo Falcone, better known as MoBlack, the label was built as a platform for artists pushing Afro-influenced electronic music forward while remaining grounded in rhythm, storytelling, and musical depth. What began as a personal vision has since grown into an international movement spanning records, showcases, festivals, and a worldwide network of artists and listeners connected through sound.

The story of MoBlack Records is closely tied to MoBlack’s own journey. After spending years living in Ghana, Falcone immersed himself in West African music, culture, and nightlife, experiences that would shape both his productions and the direction of the label. Rather than treating Afro House as a trend, MoBlack Records focused on presenting it as a fully realized musical space capable of crossing borders and connecting scenes from Africa, Europe, South America, and beyond. That perspective helped the label stand apart early on and positioned it as one of the key forces behind Afro House’s rise within global electronic music.

Over the years, MoBlack Records has released music from a wide range of artists across the Afro House and melodic spectrum, helping introduce emerging talent while also providing a home for established names. The label became known for records that balanced organic percussion, melodic structure, vocal-driven storytelling, and club functionality without losing emotional weight. Its catalog reflects a broad interpretation of Afro-influenced electronic music, pulling from house, techno, soul, tribal rhythms, and atmospheric production.

MoBlack’s role as former A&R Manager for Traxsource’s Afro House division further expanded the label’s influence. During that period, Afro House gained stronger visibility across digital platforms and eventually became an official genre category on Beatport, marking an important shift for the sound globally. MoBlack Records was central to that momentum, helping shape what audiences, DJs, and promoters associated with contemporary Afro House.

Beyond the music itself, the label has built a strong reputation through its events and showcases. MoBlack Records parties have taken place in clubs, rooftops, beach settings, and festival stages across the world, creating experiences centered around rhythm, atmosphere, and community. The brand has appeared at internationally recognized festivals and venues while also maintaining a connection to underground spaces that helped build the culture from the beginning. Whether in Europe, Africa, North America, or the Middle East, MoBlack showcases are known for bringing together audiences that share a deep connection to music beyond trends or algorithms.

The label’s visual identity and curation have also become recognizable within the electronic music scene. From artwork and event production to artist selection, MoBlack Records maintains a clear sense of direction without limiting itself to one formula. Its roster and events regularly move between Afro House, Afro Tech, melodic house, organic house, and deeper club sounds, reflecting the label’s broader understanding of where electronic music intersects with culture and movement.

Today, MoBlack Records continues to operate as more than just a label. It functions as a global platform connecting artists, DJs, producers, promoters, and listeners through a shared appreciation for rhythm-focused electronic music. For many house music fans, the brand represents consistency, musical depth, and an openness to sounds from different parts of the world. As Afro House continues expanding internationally, MoBlack Records remains one of the names most closely tied to its growth, influence, and future direction.
