THE HOUSE OF SUN-EL: Sun-El Musician, Simmy, Mlindo The Vocalist, and other related artists

Three quarters of this - the first half and last few songs - are excellent. "Amateki," "Higher," and "Bestfriend" especially. "Amateki" is an immediate mood boost. "Higher" has a spiritual quality to it and is one of my favorite tracks of the year. The third-quarter of the album, which consists of instrumental afro-house tracks "Jozi", "Spiritual Bomb," and "Alone" I wish was about 10 minutes shorter.

still the best thing Sun-El has been involved in this year:

one of my favs ❤️

Sun-El doesn’t make amapiano (although some remarks and posts here and elsewhere suggest otherwise), but I’m hoping this poll I created might get the amapiano party started again on ILM, because we’re seriously logging… lagging behind. here’s your invitation - I hope you will all participate:

drowning in a blissful ocean of log drums and keys: 🎹🎹 amapiano a-z 🎹🎹 an ilm poll

not Sun-El, but this is a production by fellow Afro House adept (and sometimes collaborator) Thakzin:

(I haven’t listened to the rest of the Emakhosini EP it’s from yet)

^^^ very good little EP. made me realise how little afro house I’ve been listening to in the past year or so (post-“Osama” perhaps?) - too much piano, too little time basically.

I loooove “Nyoni”:

Hmmm, think I recognize the chorus of that from somewhere else? Possible cover?

are you in jest, sir?

from the new Murumba Pitch album (which is otherwise firmly and delectably in the piano camp):
