"Log drum" is the single most important word. Without it Udio gives you generic house music.
Add "South African" before "house" or "deep house". This context shifts the output significantly.
Amapiano piano is jazzy and loose, not EDM-synth. Use 'jazzy piano' or 'Rhodes piano' in the prompt.

Tempo is critical. 108–116 BPM is the sweet spot. Below 105 it sounds like slow house; above 118 it shifts to Afrohouse.
