Man-K Ramela

Khutso Ramela, born in the Rockville section of Soweto on the 27th of September 1992, South-West of Johannesburg was once a devoted and passionate soccer player, playing for the Bidvest Wits Football Academy, until the day his love for music grew beyond the one he had for soccer, putting a shade on his initial passion. It was in 2008, the year Khutso put a cross on professional soccer and shifted his dedication towards music production. It all started with a group of 3 called “Crew of Knights”, an alliance which led to 2 distinct EPs, “Serinity” and “African Roots”. The collaboration between Man-K, Revick P and DJ Trans did not last, and the group had to split a few years later. In 2011, Man-K released his very first solo project under Jambalay Records, “Cultural Experiences Part 1” featuring Mike Anderson. Still the same year, Man-K moved towards Paso Doble’s label, Melomenia Records, for which he produced his “When Africa Began EP” comprising 3 excellent tracks; “When Africa Began”, “The Massai Tribe” and “Voice of an African Child”. The following year, it is under Beat Religion Music that he released another project, “Battle Ground EP”. But very recently, with an enthusiasm I could hear still in his voice the day of the interview, Man-K literaly entered the (cours des grands) when he reached an agreement with Spirit Motion, a label owned and operated by the great South African duo, Black Motion; Man-K - African Vision“You know, Black Motion inspires me big time! They are one of my main sources of inspiration. One of my favorite tracks of the moment is one of Black Motion, Manghoro featuring Candy. This track is thigh! I love it very much especially because of the African elements in it and the way it is built. Black Motion really inspires me! Those guys are the best!” And it is Black Motion themselves who introduced Man-K to Nulu Records. This new collaboration, for the benefits of the entire South African House industry, led to the amazing “African Vision EP”, the very last project released by Man-K early in 2013 comprised of 3 beautiful tracks; “Wild Drums”, “Africa my Home” and “Secrets of a Slave”.

Now based in Protea Glen, Soweto, Man-K is busy completing his third and last year of full time study in Radio Production at the Boston Media House in Sandton, Johannesburg and he works at Eldo's FM (Community Radio Station). I asked him if he was succeeding in properly balancing his time between his musical career taking off and his full time studies; “Yeah I do manage to balance my time between music production and my studies. I have to say though that I sometimes get into trouble by focusing too much on music production and forgetting about my school assignments. But I know how to balance my work“. Professionally, his main objective is to, obviously, make music production his full time occupation. And the way his career is taking form, it is fairly possible that his diploma in Radio Production stays on a shelf as a Plan B.

HOUSE OF STANK

NYC-based djs, Christy Love and W. Jeremy, collectively known as House of Stank, began in March 2006 with a weekly Wednesday party at Mr. Black, a small underground club in NYC.  “STANK,” as the party was aptly named, encompassed a profound dedication and love for house music and the many genres within it.  STANK played host to many of house music’s most influential figures, one of them being the legendary Wild Pitch Acid maestro, DJ Pierre.  In April 2006, they, along with DJ Pierre, launched a monthly party at STANK, dubbed “AFRO ACID: The Chicago Sessions,” where one Wednesday a month, Chicago jacked New York with such world-renowned guests as Cajmere (a.k.a. Green Velvet), Glenn Underground, Ron Carroll, Mark Grant and Harrison Crump. 

In 2007 and 2008, their debut and sophomore tracks, "Baby Brain" and "4 Tha Freaks," were released on DJ Pierre’s label, Afro Acid Digital. In 2008 and 2009, they released, "Make U Jack" and "Get Up, Yeah!" on Dust Traxx Chicago. Both singles had huge success, garnering much attention and interest. House of Stank has remixed such artists as Larry Tee, Easy Street, Thee-O & Merlyn Martin and The 2 Bears.

In the fall of 2010, House of Stank launched their own label, Get Up Recordings. The label has featured releases from such artists as Heller & Farley, Tedd Patterson, Honey Dijon, Up Yours, The Carry Nation, Automagic, Eli Escobar, Hannah Holland, The Cucarachas, Mikey V and House of Stank. 

Having been a house music aficionado since his teenage years, W. Jeremy immediately pursued his dream and went to work in the industry right after school.  He got his start as an intern at Elite Music Group where he worked along with some of the industry’s finest, including Issy Sanchez and Debra Eriksen.  After a few months, Debra convinced him to come and work with her at the Vicious Muzik and Hot n’ Spycy labels.  While promoting the chart-toppers, Angel Moraes’s “Welcome to the Factory” and the Shades of Love’s “Keep in Touch (Body to Body)” remake, he formed a friendship with Alan Anderson at Movin’ Records in East Orange, NJ.  Alan presented an offer he could not refuse, an opportunity to work for the legendary Tony Humphries and help launch the Yellorange label.  Six months later, Jeremy took a short break from the industry and moved to the west coast to re-emerge as a DJ.  While in San Francisco, he became a resident dj at the world-famous Endup from 1997-2001 at the Saturday morning party, Otherwhirled.  He spent the next several years gigging at clubs all over the Bay Area including, Liquid, Club Six, 111 Minna, 1015 Folsom and 177 Townsend.  In 2001 he moved back to New York, and began dj residencies at clubs such as APT, Centro-Fly, Lot 61, Baktun, and Sapphire Lounge. 

Christy Love has always had a love for house music.  When she moved to San Francisco in 1995, she integrated herself into the city’s massive club scene, and that love of house led her to travel in the same circles as many of the industry’s top deejays.  A local deejay believed Christy had such a natural ear for music he gave her two turntables and a mixer so she could become a deejay.  She began djing in 1996 at house parties throughout San Francisco, and also co-hosted a weekly Chicago House party at the Haight Street favorite, The Top.  In 2000, Christy moved to NYC, where she again immersed herself into the club scene as a dj.  In 2005 she picked up a monthly residency Red & Black in Williamsburg, and over the course of the next 5 years, became a major force in NYC’s underground house music scene, djing at such major underground clubs as Santos Party House, Libation, Happy Valley, Sapphire Lounge, Happy Ending and Studio B.  In January 2010 she headlined at the new London hot spot, Dalston Superstore. 

As djs and producers, House of Stank draw influence from many genres of dance music including Chicago, tech, acid, electro and deep house.  Together they have played at some of NYC's favorite spots, such as Sullivan Room, Club Love, Greenhouse, Public Assembly and Rebel, and have had featured dj sets on PUSH FM and Ultra Music Festival Radio.  In the summer of 2009, House of Stank, DJ Pierre and Phuture 303 headlined the critically acclaimed PS1 Warm-Up music series, one of the most anticipated summer events.

"SBU-1-ZN" full name (Sbusiso Ngcobo) from Durban - South Africa, took music production seriously in 2008 where he meet up with Nkokhi who introduced him to music production scene. He has worked with the likes of DJ NKokhi (DOJOB Records), Eric Ess (kwaito Artist from Namibia), Anthony Sachez (Solkon records, USA), Darrell (USA), Twinny Tee (Beat Religion - RSA), Musting (Armani Records - RSA) and many more.

He doesn't have a specific genre he follows, He just make good music to keep you moving.

He is inspired by the likes of DJ nkokhi, Lunga Baainar, Black Coffee, DJ Christos, Manuel Tur, Jimpter, Deadmau5, DJ Fresh(RSA), Euphonic, Kent, Alexander Fog, Ralf Gum, Karizma, Nick Holder, and last but not least he have great respect for upcoming producers from all over the world.
