South African-born and Australia-based twin duo FiNE continue to push the boundaries of AfroTech and Progressive Afro House with their latest single, “Say My Name,” a deeply expressive and rhythmically charged release that fuses club energy with raw human emotion. Known for crafting records that resonate equally on the dancefloor and through headphones, FiNE’s newest single marks another powerful evolution in their sound and artistic identity.
“Say My Name” was born from a space of creative freedom — a moment of pure flow where instinct took the lead. “We let go of the rules and leaned fully into the process,” the duo shares. “The song speaks to that quiet ache behind the smile — the things people feel but don’t always say.” The track blends deep, hypnotic synths with a Caribbean-laced groove and a gritty bassline, resulting in a sound that’s both intimate and electrifying. Featuring the soulful Nigerian vocalist Phina Asa, the single finds its emotional core in her commanding delivery and lyrical depth.

Since its release, “Say My Name” has made an impressive impact across digital streaming platforms, earning placements on 25 Apple Music and Spotify playlists, including six major editorial features. The track debuted on Spotify’s New Music Friday South Africa and climbed to #11 on mint South Africa, while also featuring prominently on Apple Music’s Africa Now, Afro House Nation (#3), Isgubhu (#4), and New Music Daily. Adding to these achievements, FiNE were spotlighted as one of the “Big 5” on Apple Music’s Africa Now Radio with Nandi Madida, underscoring their growing global influence and the song’s breakout potential.
Musically, “Say My Name” continues FiNE’s journey of redefining modern Afro House — merging their African heritage with a forward-thinking, international sound. Their deep, edgy, and atmospheric production has earned them recognition across the global electronic scene, consistently landing their records on Beatport and Traxsource charts and establishing them as one of South Africa’s most dynamic exports.
Since founding their own label Sippy Time, FiNE have released an impressive catalogue including Alpha Omega, Ubuntu, Nomathemba, and Twende. Their collaborative spirit has seen them work alongside South Africa’s top electronic artists — Lemon & Herb, Enoo Napa, Citizen Deep, Nana Atta, Maline Aura, and Lizwi — with coverage from international platforms such as Defected Records, Mixmag, EDM.com, TimesLIVE, and more. Each release reflects their commitment to authenticity, rhythm, and innovation.
Raised between South Africa and Botswana, FiNE’s sound is deeply rooted in African rhythms while infused with a refined, global perspective. Drawing inspiration from Afro House trailblazers like Black Coffee, and modern tastemakers Themba, Liva K, and Vanco, their artistry continues to balance heritage with evolution — making music that moves both body and soul.
As they prepare for a high-energy end to the year, FiNE are already looking ahead. Their follow-up single, “Changes” featuring Bobbi Fallon, drops November 7th, a track they describe as “rule-bending and emotionally charged.” With a South African tour in November and December, followed by Asian tour dates in early 2026, the twins are set to bring their powerful AfroTech sound to new audiences across continents.
With “Say My Name,” FiNE affirm their place at the forefront of Africa’s electronic music movement — a sonic bridge between continents, grounded in heart, rhythm, and undeniable groove.
