#ProducersCorner – Hypaphonik

Hypaphonik found himself interested in music production at an early age after being inspired by an older cousin brother who was a dj back in the days. He is from up King Williams Town, a small but vibrant town in the Eastern Cape,South Africa.

His real name is Sinalo Tonya who is versatile as he is  a music producer, remixer and dj, his earliest recognition was on one of South African based music label Urban Mystic Sounds followed by Candid Beings Records.

He has featured in a few notable compilation albums and with collaborations from the likes of Thabo Tonick, Zithane, Meszive Muzik, Mr Joz, Latique and many more. He has released music under renowned music labels such as Candid Beings Records, Ambious Records, Radio Headz, Garden Groove Music, High Frequency Soundz, and Urban Mystic Sounds and WeAreiDyll Records.

Stay True Sounds were once very proud to announce the debut album from 26-year-old Afro House producer Hypaphonik. A South African born producer raised in Dimbaza in the Eastern Cape.

Kid Fonque first discovered Hypaphonik after licensing his remix of ‘Westside Warriors’ from Kenyan producer EUGGY and has been waving his flag ever since. Shortly after the release of the hypnotic remix of EUGGY, Kid Fonque asked Hypaphonik to produce an EP for Stay True Sounds and the ‘Organic EP’ was born in mid-2021, a 3 tracker able to speak to every style of DJ in the underground scene in South Africa, from Black Coffee to Jullian Gomes, Fka Mash and Black Motion everyone found a powerful new producer in Hypaphonik.

Discussions were had and the next step for this rising star was to show the world his deep afro production through a full-length album. The name of this full-length debut is ‘ALTAIR’ which is the brightest star in the constellation of Aquila and the twelfth-brightest star in the night sky. Very fitting for this new talent whose career has just started, and with the release of this album, his future is shining VERY bright!
