Deep Cartel is the Live Deep House alias, run by Maurice Machi. Founded by Sibusiso Malinga and Maurice Machi inJohannesburg in 2011, Maurice Machi has completed studying for his Sound Engineering diploma at the Academy of Sound Engineering, while KvK has completed a Psychology degree at the University of Johannesburg. 

Deep Cartel SA carries the weight of three successful bangers known as Sunrise, Winter Sun and, more recently, In Too Deep featuring Mandy. On top of producing their own compositions where they feature singers of their choosing, they are also involved with many remix projects. They caught the attention of a label based in the UK entitled Peng Africa Records, and since the signing of a licencing deal with the company, they have been busy working with Peng Africa on a few remix projects. Just recently, their single In Too Deep feat. Mandy was released under a compilation entitled “Dance Africa”. They have also been involved in two EPs which were released during the December 2014 period: I Am X – Beautiful Creation [Deep Cartel’s Dark Emotion Remix] (Donda Recordings) and Brazilian Soul Crew feat. Holi – Afflicted [Deep Cartel’s Ocean Soul Mix] (Peng Africa). All releases are available online for purchase at Traxsource.com.

One of their greatest achievements to date is having a feature on YFM’s LiveNReYired show where their live performance was broadcast live across the Gauteng province. It was then that they could showcase what they were all about, performing their own compositions and fusing them with known and unknown songs that they performed in between their productions.

The live set they play is mainly a deep, jazzy and soulful set whereby Maurice Machi would DJ and add special effects on the decks while allowing the trumpet and the keyboard to take over, complimenting the track being played. A Deep Cartel set ensures that a good time is had by all.
