The Nairobi Connect W LASTA & KNVL 19th October 2021

Out now! https://ampl.ink/GGkGL

Crafted over two years by Nairobi-based producer and DJ, MR LU*, “KLABU” is a hypnotic dedication to introverts everywhere. 

MR. LU*’s entrancing vocals effortlessly float over bouncy, bass-heavy beats as he paints the picture of retreating to the comfort of your home with your loved one after your social battery clocks out. 

On what inspired the single he says, “I had a dream I opened a club for people with low social battery.”

“Klabu” is the first single off of MR.LU*’s upcoming project, Nairobi Lost Tapes, Vol. 2.

Teno Afrika's new album "Where You Are"
Digital version out now
https://linktr.ee/TenoAfrika

Teno Afrika’s 2020 debut Amapiano Selections drew an international wave of support sparked by the producer’s deftly minimal take on the emergent style. Amapiano combines the South African predilection for deep house alongside a melange of endemic influences like kwaito, jazz and gqom. The 22-year-old’s new crop of songs Where You Are expands on his rhythmic subtlety hooded in warm bass adorned by amapiano’s telltale shakers, hi-hats and mid-tempo shuffle. 

Lutendo Raduvha hails from Pretoria, South Africa, where he produces music incessantly and DJ’s parties around Gauteng province. He hangs with a crowd of musical friends, many of whom join him on Where You Are. For his second album Teno Afrika brings more vocalists into the sonic picture, unlocking an emotive and timbral escalation to his rapidly mushrooming catalog of work.

Singers Leyla and KayCee feature on the title track and “Fall In Love,” respectively. Regular cohort Diego Don joins for two driving, pad-propelled works of significant vibrancy, “SK Love” and “AK Love.”  

The album's dramatic closer “Duma ICU” features another returning collaborator, Stylo MusiQ, who helps bring an icy, almost cinematic conclusion to a slice of the sound Teno Afrika is pushing at the moment. There’s a palpable feeling of not knowing where the young producer might go next.

ENERGY NEVER LIES W/ ELSA DOVE

This week’s show features my favorite house music from South Africa between 2012-now. Of course, there is much more to South African house than Black Coffee and Amapiano. I’ve traveled to SA (Joburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, etc.) for the last two decades with a mission—to exchange music and listen. To witness.

Some might say house music began in the 90s with kwaito music, some might reference Hugh Masakela’s Techno Bush album, and others might cite The work Miriam Makeba does with her voice as a technology of South African folk-jazz. All of it matters to what is known as South African house today.

The show also features music from Osunlade, Marc Mac (4Hero), Atjazz, Da Capo, Vincemo/Patricia Edwards, and more. This week I was thinking about the importance of honoring house music with all its sub-genres and what Black folk have done with it across diaspora.

Finally, I share a special song. In 1997, Robin S dared to cover Phyllis Hyman’s “You Know How to Love Me,” and covered she did, she and @kingbritt created a version masterpiece. Find the song now. We miss you, Phyllis.

Cheers to @1btnradio for hosting my research.
