South African artist Drega takes care of the superb third release on the fledgling label, All Electronic Music. Real name Yanga Mzimkhulu Zodala, Drega hails from Dutywa, a small town in the Eastern cape where he studied at art college. His love of art and design spills over into the well-crafted music he has made since 2015. Whether producing Afro house or Gqom, he has a unique, proudly African sound that has seen him work with the likes of Zakes Bantwini, Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha to name a few. Now he goes solo and shines from the off with the superb ‘Kharnju’ EP as DMCWORLD grab a brilliant Back To Mine 10…
Drega – Kali Koi
I like how it makes people on those drums and chants.
BlaQRhythm – iMvula
The song relates a lot to its title. It takes you through African reality. Most Likely the dry regions where people pray for rain (iMvula meaning rain).
Karyendasoul Feat. Zhao – In Control
The song gives you energy, especially if you’re not a morning person.
Zakes Bantwini Feat. Nana Atta – Amanga
It protects you from heavy disappointment, toxic relationships etc
Drega – Wadlalu Drega – Mega Cure
Crazy drumming, bass & melodies, clear form of club controller
Blanka Mazimela Feat. SKJ – Ziduli Zethafa
House influenced by Xhosa culture, thanks Blanka Mazimela
Studio Apartment – Sun Ra Was Right (Kususa Remix)
Sunday, Outdoor braai (barbeque), that’s it for this song.
Siphe Tebeka Feat. Toshi – Ndiyekeni
Big hope and bright future on cultural influence in South Africa house, very relatable.
Cubicolor – Rituals
Wonderful grand piano on the song, vocals sets the mood. great song!
