I’m still stuck at that Umphako EP he was talking about, “Intombi” in particular.

But who am I kidding? I really came to post these mixes Sun-El did for South African radio station 5FM. I just found out he did three 30-minute mixes, one in December and two just recently. And guess what, most of it is new stuff: some instrumental tracks, several tracks with Simmy (!), and some remixes of stuff by others (such as Black Coffee). It’s a lot to take in! (let me just say I can’t wait for him to drop “Indodana” featuring Berita.)I will post the links from his Soundcloud (which include track listings). The mixes (01 and 03 at least) can also be found on YouTube.

very pretty. all this music is very pretty, perfect early summer ~vibes~

wow that's great. I was listening to the Mlindo album walking around yesterday and thinking I should bump this thread to check if I've missed anything new
― rob, Thursday, 30 May 2019 17:22 (four years ago) link
Yep good summer vibes. Listening to the full Tresor album now. So Sun-El isn't involved with this at all? Are Tresor and Sun-El in same collective or something? Not questioning this being shouted out in this thread, just curious if there's a connection other than sonic/regional.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 30 May 2019 18:57 (four years ago) link
No, in this case it’s just the sonic/regional connection. To me, this song is most at home here, whereas I feel the harder South African club sounds (gqom, most notably) are better suited for the Afropop thread, but it’s all quite arbitrary. Also, there is no official Sun-El collective as such. Simmy has worked exclusively with him so far, but Mlindo for instance, even though he got his break with a Sun-El track, had DJ Maphorisa produce his album.

Gotcha, thanks for the info, and keep posting these!

Today my wife stopped at Sondela's clip and said "Msaki ? Is that her ? She used to come and perform at our house in Melville" but I wasn't there for those nights. We also found out that Simmy has the same flowery dress in Sonini as the one we bought at Mr Price. Cool little details.

Posting the hit track from the pretty magnificent Scorpion Kings EP (but at 12 tracks and 76 minutes you’re free to call it an album) by DJ Maphorisa & Kabza De Small here because it features Samthing Soweto, the voice on/of Sun-El’s “Akanamali”:

New song by Samthing Soweto, the voice of “Akanamali”. I love the organ on this - whether it’s amapiano that’s bringing back those sounds or not, I’m all for it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FnBANZlxRsSamthing Soweto ft. Makhafula Vilakazi • Omama Bomthandazo

incidentally, I just discovered Samthing's live version of Akanamali on Spotify and, while not quite as exciting as the original, it certainly bears a listenhttps://open.spotify.com/track/693K8eGMOzma4EMkAQG1IU?si=xfSOenlrR3G6QwI0XA51bQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNXejqHIB3U

Yes, it’s wonderful. A mix of amapiano jams with Kabza De Small & Maphorisa, expanding on their massive (in every sense) Scorpion Kings album, on which Samthing had the biggest track, “Amantombazane” (see upthread) - like this one, the current number one song in South Africa:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzNquFNqfrwSamthing Soweto ft. Shasha* Akulaleki...and more (musically) soulful stuff, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=755S1qfwnD4Samthing Soweto • Umuhle Uyasabeka

― breastcrawl, Friday, 27 September 2019 17:41 (four years ago) link
all the early singles from the album are pretty great (though i can maybe do without the "happy birthday" cash grab)
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 27 September 2019 17:41 (four years ago) link
Yeah, agreed, “Happy Birthday” is the weakest link here.
