Antal of Rush Hour has taken the time to send us his favorite South African records in conjunction with our South African Disco Pop Hits album - Saturday Night! Text by Antal.
1. Linda ‘babe” Majika “Let’s Make A Deal” - South African proto house so nice!
2. Chico “Shigomase” - One of those I wanted to find really really bad. Killer South African house jam.
3. Caiphus Semenya “Without You” - Lovely stepper!
4. Adaye “Turn It Up” - I like this for the instrumental version. Killer disco jam.
5. Kamazu “Mjukeit” - Great kwaito or slow house groove. Love this!
6. Street Kids “Game No.1” - This comes close to Boyd Jarvis type 80’s house sound.
7. Space Cats “Mother Earth” - Number 1 wanted South African record! Found it in Johannesburg on a diggin’ trip. This sparked my interest in music from South Africa. Luckily you can grab the reissue from Cultures of Soul. 8. Kumasi “Anomakoliwa” - Another wanted jam that I have never found an og of. Luckily it got a reissue by Afro Synth!
9. Lungile Masitha “Vuyani” - Another wanted Chicco jam. Never found the OG. Left Ear reissued it.
10. Black Five “Ea Kgiba Ngoale” - Nice under the radar boogie jam. Don’t know what it’s about but it grooves! You can pick it up on the new Cultures of Soul compilation!
