Producers Robert Mahosana cognoman ‘dj’ Murdha and Thabo ‘Smol’ Mabogwane have made an energetic start to their musical union. Their hometown; Pretoria (Tshwane) – epicenter of the South African house scene – has watched in proud anticipation over the last year, as interest for the duo has amplified. Vehemently vibrating through the speakers of international music tastemakers. Their fresh ideas afford a nod of integrity to their African forbearers, heavy percussive rhythms; compliment deep house references, providing an unmistakably congruous combination.Enveloping the melodic hook of the pennywhistle, Jah Rich’s decipherable vocals provide pace to the track. A backbone of encouragement, that lifts you on to your feet. It is hard to ignore the call to be part of music from this highly engaging and uniquely nourishing performer. The recent passing of Rich lends a sad, yet poignant twist to the beautifully hypnotic and enriching sound of ‘Clap Your Hands’.
Great consideration over remixes was given, the release includes work by -Justin Imperiale, currently making big moves on the scene with an impressive array of collaborations for prominent labels and a revered show on Smoothtraxx Radio. LA producer Jose Marquez charged by the sounds of deep afro latin soul responsible for Celia Cruz, Elegua; Nina Simone, Black Bird; and Oumou Sangare – Mogo Te De Diva Bee Ye. And not forgetting Honey Combs chief aficionado Josh Milan of the legendary group Blaze, whose remix delivers an artful Afro beat arrangement in homage to Fela Kuti.The accompanying music video, directed by Justin Campos and produced by Gorilla films was filmed on location in a village in South Africa with the whole community, to great visual effect, involved.

Stereo Mutants first appeared on Duffnote’s sister label One51 back in 2007 with their release “What Do I Do Now” and now “Turning Around” gets the full treatment on Duffnote.Stereo Mutants first appeared on Duffnote’s sister label One51 back in 2007 with their release “What Do I Do Now” and now, after a year of top club and radio support from it’s feature on the 2009 WMC sampler, “Turning Around” gets the full treatment on Duffnote. The Mutants crisp production on the original mix marries so well with the sublime drifiting vocals of Neve. And on the flip side, their Deeper Dub steers things towards the main room. On remix duties, Richard Earnshaw takes the track down a sundrenched musical journey, perfect for the summer pool parties ahead. One of the regular producers on Guess Records, K-Bana gets deep with his unique style, and a very useful
radio edit of the original mix rounding off the package nicely.

[TRIBE019] DJ Micks feat. Robin Latimore – First To Say Goodbye [Tribe Records]

Leave a comment


Tribe Records are proud to present a new producer hailing from South Africa, DJ Micks, for his first release featuring the amazing vocal talent that is Robin Latimore from Atlanta.Dj Micks was born in Pietermaritzburg South Africa. He first fell in love with house music after listening to a compilation from one of South Africa’s legends DJ Oskido. Still at school he sort about getting into production first by playing around on his mothers PC using Fruity Loops to create various bootlegs of old soul records.

In late 2009 Micks came across an acapella of the classic Gladys Knight track ‘First To Say Goodbye’, he recalls ‘she was singing about what I was going through at the time and I felt an instant connection with the song and decided to create a simple hypnotic beat under the vocal. Being a huge fan of Manoo, Culoe De Song and Rocco, Micks embarked upon doing versions inspired by each producer. All three mixes were finished in one night and posted on Facebook to share with his fellow friends. A month later, more than 500 people had downloaded the single. Oskido heard the track and immediately put it on his Hot 99 show on the biggest radio station in Gauteng (YFM), eventually making it to the number 1 spot and the rest they say is history!

Tribe has long been a big supporter of the track and given the reaction and response from those on the dance floor it became clear that ‘First to Say Goodbye’ was too big a song to remain a bootleg. Tribe creative head Zepherin Saint set out on a mission to find the right vocalist to pay homage to Gladys Knight, this was no easy task but he felt there was only one place that could produce such a voice, the birth place of Ms Knight herself Atlanta, Georgia. Having strong musical connections in Atlanta quickly led Zepherin Saint to very a special lady who could indeed take up the challenge – enter Ms Robin Latimore a prominent jazz vocalist who has shared the stage with jazz greats such as Ronnie Laws and Jeff Lorber. Robin stepped up to the microphone and nailed the song in one take.

‘First to Say Goodbye’ is set to make big waves this summer with new mixes from Rocco and in a few weeks time we will be releasing the Charles Webster versions aswell which have both been going down in a big way in South Africa. Both big fans of the original, they were excited to come and share their musical talents on this classic vocal.
