8 Tracks: Of South African House With Jazzuelle

I heard this jam whilst looking for new music on YouTube and it’s never left my computer. I have played it out a few times at my shows and it’s had a brilliant response, this kid is young, hungry and talented. He’s done the rounds on a few labels and is already making a name for himself, definitely one of my favourite artists at the moment.

Myazisto is dubbed South Africa’s own Stimming and this tune stands out for me from him, not the easiest of tunes to mix but the progression here nails you in like a nail on wood. I’ve played this a few times during my sets and even on live television shows and it’s always had a big response.

Bruce and I go way back, when we released music with Atjazz record company, to releasing music on Get Physical Music as well. We have a similar sound and he always surprises me. This jam is a track he did for Stay True Sounds in South Africa. I’ve played this during my set at the Get Physical Music office in Berlin for our Get Physical Sessions and it’s really got a huge response since then, just as with most of his beats, but this one is definitely of my favourites.

A beautiful song by one of South Africa’s finest, Jullian is no stranger to the scene in South Africa. He’s been around for some time and we’ve been mates for a while now. This jam he did with Sio was one of the biggest from his new album, a tune that rocked crowds right across the scene, from the underground transcending to the commercial scene and radio.

Da Capo and I met by chance one day when we travelled together in the same car and I’ve known him since. We hooked up one night, on the night of a blood moon outside and wrote this tune. I featured it on my first album, Circles, he worked his magic on itm and it became an instant hit in the underground scene in South Africa.

I’ve just discovered Brewed Souls, this jam was released recenty on the new House Afrika 8 complilation. I was looking for new music to play at a gig and this jam blew my mind, such an amazing tune, showcasing the talent in South Africa. I dropped it at Kitcheners in Joburg and everyone loved it.

One of my favourite new artists at the moment and one of my favourite collaborations too. It’s not often that I write new music or collaborations and it becomes an interlude to a whole debut album. Pierre messaged me about this and sent me parts and I sent back some of mine and we did this. One of my favourite jams to start my sets at the moment.

Definitely one of the breakout artists of last year, play this one anywhere and everyone goes nuts in South Africa. He also released his new album with House Afrika and Stay True Sounds recently, one of my favourite artists as well. I dropped Luna everywhere last year and early this year and it’s been a cracker of a tune.
