Ghana DJ mix: DJ Mensah Afrobeats 360 Pt. 1 cover art on Apple Music

Our DJ of the week is DJ Mensah, and the Ghana DJ mix we are pointing you to is his own: Afrobeats 360, Pt. 1 (DJ Mix), released under his name on Apple Music. It packs 70 songs into 1 hour 19 minutes, and more than a third of the tracks carry Ghanaian names, from Black Sherif and Stonebwoy to King Promise, Sarkodie and KiDi.

The player above is Apple Music’s own, so every song streams from the official service. Subscribers hear the full set; others get previews.

Who is DJ Mensah?

Born Michael Mensah Ayenu, DJ Mensah is best known as Sarkodie’s official DJ, a role MyJoyOnline has described in its coverage of him. Fans also call him “the Untouchable”. Away from the decks he is an events promoter behind his annual All White Party, and he has since opened PlayHouse, a recording studio in Accra.

His Apple Music catalogue shows a DJ who records as well as he plays: “Say I Do” with Sarkodie and “Dance Floor” with Bisa Kdei (both 2017), the posse cut “Like That” with Kweku Smoke, Lyrical Joe, DopeNation, Kofi Mole and Medikal (2020), and the “Now or Never” EP. His mix series started with Afrobeats Hitz Vols. 1 to 3 in June 2023, which MyJoyOnline reported were made with Turntable Entertainment.

The Ghana side of the tracklist

The mix opens on Mabel and Black Sherif’s “Zero”, then hands over to Xlimkid and O’Kenneth’s “Lonely Road”, an early nod to the Kumasi drill crowd. Blacko returns quickly with “January 9th” and “Soja”, and again on ODUMODUBLVCK’s “Wotowoto Seasoning”.

Stonebwoy gets three slots: “Therapy”, “Forget” and “Into the Future”. King Promise has even more, with “Ginger”, “Choplife” featuring Patoranking, “10 Toes” with Omah Lay, “Perfect Combi” with Gabzy and “Naana”. Sarkodie, naturally, is there twice, on “Better Days” with BNXN and “Till We Die” with Ruger, the second coming late in the set.

The final stretch is where the Ghana love really shows. KiDi’s “Champagne” and “Likor” with Stonebwoy sit close together, then DJ Vyrusky’s “Body 2 Body” (with KiDi and Camidoh), Kelvyn Boy’s “Vero” and Vyrusky’s “Broken Heart” featuring Kuami Eugene run back to back. Gyakie’s “Something” and Olivetheboy’s “GoodSin” also make the cut.

The Naija side is just as strong: Burna Boy’s “Last Last” and “City Boys”, Rema’s “Charm”, Asake’s “Nzaza”, and the set closes on Asake’s “Organise”.

When to play it

Every track is a short, blended edit, many under a minute and a half, so the energy never dips. It suits a house party, a gym session or a Friday drive through Accra traffic. One honest note: Apple Music dates the release to 30 August 2024, so treat it as a strong recent-hits set rather than this week’s chart.
