In common parlance, the two producers who make up Native Soul would be considered “ma2000”—or, born after the onset of democracy, having never experienced Apartheid—by virtue of their age. Kgothatso Tshabalala is 19 years old and Zakhele Mhlanga (DJ Zakes) is turning 20. Their 12-track debut electronic music album, Teenage Dreams, is not easily dismissed as a project that shows their age, though. Teenage Dreams presents a youthful, experimental sound, but the arrangement of each song and how each of the project’s composite parts are put together demonstrate an artistic maturity beyond the two producers’ respective ages.

A cousin of Tshabalala introduced the two in 2016. Native Soul was formed in 2019. Until then, each of them had been producing music in a variety of styles including hip-hop, different types of house as well as amapiano. They decided that with Native Soul, their focus would be on amapiano—an electronic music movement which, by then, had begun to dominate both mainstream and underground music scenes in South Africa.

Amapiano is an electronic music movement first created and still most popular in the townships surrounding the major cities of Gauteng province in South Africa. The style borrows from various genres which have been popular in South African townships during and after apartheid, including jazz, folk, afro, deep and tech house, kwaito, dibacardi and others. As well as paying homage to all its predecessors, amapiano also has traits entirely of its own making, which differentiate it from its lineage. The most recognisable of these being the drums made from basslines which stick out like a pocket turned outside of pants.

On their debut album released by Awesome Tapes From Africa, Native Soul demonstrate the depth of the musical well they draw from. The drawling tempo and synth chords on “Way to Cairo”, the album’s second song, are reminiscent of a certain type of Kwaito popular with pantsula culture. The most discernible nod to Afro House on Teenage Dreams comes in the form of “Dead Sangoma”’s percussive drums. Similarly, the aptly named “United As One” carries a tinge of Moloko’s “Sing It Back” which was released in 1999, became anthemic in South Africa and continues to represent a belle epoque of electronic music in the country.

Throughout the album, each song develops patiently—introducing various instruments and elements in turn. With each layer added, the emotion elicited from the listener is deepened. In this way, Teenage Dreams is not just a dance album, but one that understands what can be gained when artistic maturity meets experimentation.

Ready (Little Simz - This Is Not an Outro)

*12" edition distributed thru Lobster Distribution* Limited-edition tape edition thru FPL, containing two extra tracks*

 Orlando, Florida based label French Press Lounge sees it’s first release thru “Chillax,” a fuzzy slab of early cuts produced by Panhandle native/“label”-head Blair Sound Design, a.k.a. Kyle Lyon. 

	Culled over the naïve bedroom sessions of early university, “Chillax” is akin to blaring an extra hot mixtape from a junky deck in your car on your way to Cape Canaveral to see the last space shuttle leave Earth, all while trying to speed run Kirby’s Dream Land on your sister’s GameBoy Color. 

	Heavy sampling tends to drive this Jeep and give it some character, many popular/unknown gems lifted from various dusty tapes and wax procured from thrift stores and vinyl throughout Northern Florida; cheap drum machines are clumsily slammed against it all and keep everything in a familiarly dance-y zone, while amateur chords and melodies are provided via Guitar Center synths and YouTube ripped Commodore 64 blips and stabs (note the cheeky Nintendo voices as outliers). A fusion of analog discoveries and pixelated memories (melded together by the relentless Florida heat), its an apt soundtrack for long and wistful road trips.

	All in all, “Chillax” is a truly rough and (almost) ready affair, offering an earnest beginning from Blair Sound Design as he looks to capture the pitfalls of responsibility and nostalgia and drive it towards something rewarding and present.

MASTER METAPHYSICS - SEVAN BOMAR SIS EMPOWERMENT RADIO - 10-11-2017

the Brazilian Flight Vol.4 by memyselfandi

StarGazing feat. The Arcturians Council

An hour of pure Gnawa, curated by maâlems-master Rabii Harnoune & DJ'ed by selector extraordinaire V.B.Kuhl

Gnawa music is among Morocco’s richest and oldest continuous traditions. Moroccan Gnawa-master Rabii Harnoune’s mastery at the Guembri, a three-string lute, and Gnawa singing (a central aspect to the culture), has seen him play at world-class festivals in Essaouira, Fes, Marrakesh, and Casablanca – all spiritual centres for the genre.

To support the release of ‘GNAWA ELECTRIC LAUNE’, a the magical collaboration between Rabii Harnoune and Frankfurt electronic producer V.B.Kühl which was recorded at Achim Sauer’s 7V-Studio in Frankfurt, Rabii Harnoune & V.B. Kühl have put together this Gnawa Mix.

The melange of traditional North African Gnawa music and modern club sounds on ‘GNAWA ELECTRIC LAUNE’ results in a fascinating debut, with cross-cultural friction which is electric and otherworldly - you can check the whole album out at https://truthoughts.ffm.to/gnawael

Rabii Harnoune & V.B. Kühl - Gnawa Mix

Verse 1- 
I been workin on a Master Plan/
Cuz ain’t nothin but divinity inside my hand/
Armed w/ a magic wand, auto bots transform/
It was either flippin birds or mowing the lawn/
The porch light came on/
Now it’s back to the mothership, Christ is born/
Brenda had a baby in the early 80ies... (x2)
Now I’m healin in the hood, that’s Dr. Sebi/
Yea, bringers of the dawn w/ Pleiades/
Ashtar torn it down @ da poladium/
Before I come back ya got to sage the whole stadium/
He got crystal on the stage w/ him...
Like Bashat bout to speak/
“And Good day to you...” sound hard on the beat/
The info is deep, it’s mission brief,
Had to go cope the CD off of Wikileaks/
Nika please.../

Hook:
We been in the park thou...
No shoes/
Layin under big trees/
That’s cool/
Unfolding paradise from the stoop...
No rules, no rules... let’s go. (x2)

Verse 2-
Yo back to Agartha, this revenge of the nerds/
In Shamballa lookin harder than an Admiral Byrd/
Confident w/ the Hawk talk/
It’s a slut walk, they super mad @ what they really want God.../
The syllabus is hypocritical.../
Intuit intellectual, you got to find your middle/
Task force “Explore the Galaxy from da corner store”/
144 on the ground, you better tell the hoes.../
I’m Sirius, what you mean...?/
Elohim get da cream.../
GFOL wit dem thangs.../
Ascended Masters let it bang/ 

(Bridge)
Who bring the Light to a fist fight? (x4)

Hook:
We been in the park thou...
No shoes/....
