Eswatini artists !Sooks and Sarnilo have joined forces on Complicated, a new deep house release that arrived on September 25, adding another collaboration to both artists’ growing catalogues.
Released through Wolf Unleashed Records, Complicated is an 8:56-minute house track credited to !Sooks and Sarnilo.
The release is listed as an Original Mix on Traxsource and is classified as Deep House, with a tempo of 118 BPM on Beatport. Apple Music also lists the song under the House genre.
Since its release, the song has been circulating across social media, with listeners sharing the track and clips from its reception. Posts around the release have shown people responding to the record in social settings, while the song has also started appearing in DJ selections.
One of the early signs of the track entering the wider house music circuit came on the same day it was released. Thembelani Gina included Complicated in his Ekse, Who Dropped Selection mix, placing the song at the 1:00:02 mark in the 1-hour-25-minute set.
The selection places the !Sooks and Sarnilo collaboration alongside releases from artists including ZuluMafia, Coco Moloi, DJ Stoks, LadiAdiosoul, Blaq Note and China Charmeleon.
The release has also registered on the Apple Music chart for Eswatini. In the week of September 26, Complicated appeared at number 73 on the chart, putting the newly released track among the songs being streamed on the platform in the local market.
For !Sooks, the release continues a busy year of music. The producer, whose real name is Sukoluhle Dlamini, has built a catalogue around electronic and house music, with releases through labels including Antidote Music, DeepstitchedRecords, Stay True Sounds and Atjazz Record Company.
His recent releases include Relentless with Kudbeuin May and Bring On The Night with J’Somethingand King Dashnote in August.
His catalogue also includes Pot Pourri, a project released through Atjazz Record Company that reached number two on the South African iTunes Dance Chart during its first week, according to Traxsource.
His work has also taken him to stages including MTN Bushfire Festival, Soul Candi Spring Fiesta and Mixmag’s The Lab Johannesburg.
For Sarnilo, Complicated arrives after a run of releases that has seen her move across different sounds and collaborations.
Her latest releases include Sekuphelile, released in July 2026, as well as Garments and Bayabika. Her catalogue also includes the 2025 Makuhwalala EP and collaborations with artists such as Touchline, Mzwaa, Grixxly and Nana Magagula.
The song credits identify !Sooks as producer and composer, while Samketi Ntando Dlamini is credited as composer and lyricist. Qiniso Motsa is credited as the engineer. The release is published under Wolf Unleashed Records.
Complicated also gives Sarnilo another entry into the electronic music space, following previous appearances on house and dance releases.
Her Apple Music catalogue lists collaborations including Esteshini with Lethumusa and Mzwaa, Caught Up with Mzwaa and Amarii, and Le Party with Stickx and other artists.
The song’s long-form structure is consistent with deep house, where extended mixes give DJs room to work a record into a set. At 118 BPM, Complicated sits within a steady dance tempo, while its nearly nine-minute running time gives the track space to develop beyond a conventional radio-length arrangement.
That detail is also reflected across music platforms, where it appears as an Original Mix rather than a shortened radio version. For listeners discovering it through social posts, the full-length version remains the central release for this collaboration.
With the song now moving through playlists, DJ selections and social media shares, Complicated is beginning its run as a new collaboration between two Eswatini artists working in different but overlapping corners of contemporary music.
For now, neither !Sooks nor Sarnilo has publicly detailed the story behind the song, leaving the record to speak through its release, the response from listeners and its early movement within the house music circuit.
