It’s exiting to see that our local producer’s music is being played on our local radio stations and this helps them by giving them a platform of recognition about who they are and what kind of deep house they produce. South African now has many registered producers and dj who are working hard behind the scene by making people dance at nightclubs. Producers like; Chymamusique, Zulu Mafia, Da Capo, Dj Whisky, Charlie Mind Games and Ta-ice have produced massive hits that are still hitting the dance floors in nightclubs. Most local radio stations now play local deep house music which is great!
Thulane Da Producer one of the top 10 local dj in South Africa who graduated at the Soul Candi Institute of Music who was a guest dj at The Urban Beat on metro FM advised upcoming local producers to up their game and they can also visit the Soul Candi Institute of Music: www.scim.co.za/apply-online/corlett/ for scholarships and completions. Not everyone will be dj or a producer of deep house music, deep house music is a spiritual thing! You have to live and love music! Deeper we go, no sleep no sweat>>>>d-__-p<<<<<<<
I agree with on that one mate, hence Metro FM is giving local producers free exposure and also free publicity which eventualy will put them on the map of deep house music.
ReplyDeleteTrue! I think now it is time deep house music gets recognised and exposed just like any other genres like Hip Hop and R&B music. All I can say is that big up to metro FM by giving our local producers free exposure and publicity :-) hence we are living in a millennium society where things have changed. People want to hear new musical style from new producers.
DeleteI agree with you, local producers will be able to showcase their talent, it is not everyone who gets an opportunity to showcase their talent on a famous radio station such as METRO FM
ReplyDeleteEra I agree with you man, Metro FM is the new uplifting and opportunity stunt for local producers which is what we need. We have too much talent but how are we going to witness it if our local producers don’t get publicity and given a chance.
DeleteAhh my bru, i have been looking for someone who is brave enough to blog about my addiction. To me house music is like fresh air(i cant function well without it) am a fan of the programme on metro and it really speaks to my inner self. Keep up the good work and keep house-junkies like myself glued up to the new developments on house music...its all about my house
ReplyDelete@ Johannes I feel you. Deep house music has always been perceived as an underground music. We have to talk about house music. There are many housecats out there who want regular updates about new house music, DJ sound equipment’s and producers who are blazing flames on the dance floors in nightclubs and events.
Deletedeep house dj`s should come out of their comfort zone and market themselves if they want exposure
ReplyDelete@ Peace deep house music producers do market themselves by uploading their music on social networks such as Facebook, twitter and also music website such as soundcloud, traxsource and beatport. Local producers also do submit their mixes and music on radio stations.
DeleteIts good to know that South African DJs and artist have been given a platform to showcase their talents. Metro FM is regarded as one of the most big radio station in South Africa, so being given a chance to get exposure from it brings an opportunity to local producers to be well recognized.
ReplyDeleteTrue our local producers are working hard in studios to produce massive hits that make us dance in nightclubs. We have to know about then also support them. Don’t forget that local is lekker!!!!!!
DeleteMzansi is really improving, feels so good to know that local producers have been given a platform to showcase their talents especially on one of the biggest radio stations in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteyeah man it is a good thing indeed and i say shout out to all radio stations that play our local house music
DeleteI am not a huge fan of house music but i really respect Metro FM for giving our local DJs this opportunity, and from the way i see things our local music is growing quite well, in other words our music is maturing, we no longer persieve house music as the loudest music that it was. great stuff.
ReplyDeleteSure thing mate, things have changed I mean we no longer have an old certain perception about music. Change is what we need to show that we are moving from somewhere to somewhere
DeleteNOt my thing, but whenever i listen to this kind of music it makes me move. good stuff though
ReplyDeleteThey say you need good music for a party man; house music is a dance music which touches your mind body and soul.
DeleteI feel you Aifheli house music makes you do things with your body you could never imagine, when words cant show your feeling music does that to you and house music is banger at the clubs, the platform metro fm is giving to house music is great!
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a wonderful idea that people like Christo took the initiative to scout for talent and offer exposure to local DJs. I enjoy deep house a lot and think that I will be enjoying it even much more that you have mentioned the station that I need to tune in to in order to hear what kind of house is currently being played. I know that you too are a DJ; have ever thought of being a guest on the show?
ReplyDeleteLol….Yes probably I would love that! it would be a great experience (I can imagine). Metro FM is a huge radio station with a lot of listeners trust me it would a dream come true
Delete@ Gugu its a spiritual thing and yet you right the words wont express your feelings :-)
ReplyDeletethe topic in discussion of this blog reminds me of back in the days of shows like Oskidos church grooves and dj sbu's ylens, back when house was still a jump and we grooved thoruoghly now for some reason the house scene has been diluted and very minimal due the frenzy with hiphop and all that sort of rubbish which i dont consider to be music
ReplyDeleteThe reason why house music has been diluted and very minimal it’s because it has been perceived as an underground thing. But yeah I have to say back in the day’s house music something else but you have to bare in mind that things have changed and our local producers are trying to bring something new.
ReplyDeletealmost everyone is a fan of house music and i think metro fm has done a good job by implementing this initiative because it gives upcoming DJs a platform to showcase their talent.
ReplyDeleteTrue, yet I still say big-ups to Metro FM for initiating such initiative :-)
Deletei like the fact that being fan of house means i am suppoting local music and artists. sometimes feel we too taken by western music, that we forget our own people
ReplyDeleteHere is the thing! We are too exposed to western music through social media whereby we even forget to show some love on our local musicians or producers. I think it is highly advisable for our local musicians and producers so adapt to social media to promote their brand, music and record labels.
