Malice Mixtape #024

https://getphysicalmusic.lnk.to/GPMCD260

Get Physical Music kicks off 2022 with Thandi Draai's landmark Africa Gets Physical Vol. 4 which features some of the most exciting names in the South African house scene.

Producer, vocalist and singer Draai has been a core part of the label this year. It is where she has already released her ‘Jika EP’ as well as collaborative singles from this mix with DJ Beekay and Candy Man. Before now she has won several high-profile competitions - one of which saw her get mentorship from Wyclef Jean. She has also been on MistaJam's Africa Week on the BBC, appeared on hit South African show Masters of Spin and is currently a resident DJ on Ukhozi FM's Bhampa2Bhampa show every Friday, which is the leading radio station in Africa. As such she is a preeminent light in the vibrant South African scene and is now getting international acclaim as the country's first woman of colour to release solo tracks.

Says Thandi of this adventurous new selection, "What a time for Afro Tech House, it’s alive and vibrating through the whole Universe right now. I am super honored to be compiling this year's Africa Gets Physical Vol 4 and for the opportunity to work with such amazing artists from right across the African continent. I’m coming through unapologetic about our African electronic dance music. Camagu!"
The album opens up with Thakzin feat. Kitty Amor's tribal house call to arms with hefty kicks setting a deep groove. Dawgpound's 'Egypt' then smooths out the drums and layers in spine-tingling vocals before the seven-minute epic 'Sikelela' brings lush layers of percussion, synth and marimba. There is a soothing and heady feel to the cuddly beats of Drega's 'Mama Dear' featuring vocalist Maline Aura then 'Free Now' opens out into cinematic house soundscapes, and Amos Blaq offers an exquisite remix of Thandi's 'Iris' that has gorgeous vocals and pillowy drums.

The second half of the mix lifts you up with epic strings on 'Tuhan,' Thandi Draai & Candy Man's emotionally stirring 'Out Of Africa' and a second Thandi collaboration, this time with DJ Beekay and the heartfelt 'Linda.' There is a more steely energy to the zipping synths and warrior drums of 'Ngenani' and arresting chants of 'Sekukude' by Shona SA & Sazi Cele. This ever-evolving, always richly musical mix rolls on through devastating Afro house from Silvva, Cuebur, Khensy and a bright DJ Clock remix of Thandi's standout single 'Jika.' BlaQRhythm's rolling and hypotonic 'In The Jungle' and Eltonnick & G-Wash10's 'Osiris' featuring T_Phoenix close things down in truly epic and unforgettable fashion.

Africa Gets Physical Vol. 4 is another authentic snapshot of the continent's unique house scene.

L.A. DAVE has been putting Nairobi on the Map for over fifteen years with a forward thinking mix of Minimal Techno and Afro House. He’s lived in London, California and Tanzania where he was exposed to many different music scenes and sounds, helping him build a foundation and an idea of what he wanted to do in Kenya.

Dave is also the A&R of Groundid Music. Groundid Music started off as a streetwear boutique created by his good friend Moria in Long Beach, California. Unfortunately, the boutique closed down in 2008, but Dave wanted to continue spreading what Groundid stood for. “The meaning of Groundid,” Dave says, “is to be down to earth and to stay true. This was always the ethos behind Groundid and what it stood for.”

The significance his label has, is that it truly stands for something and he tries to translate that message directly to the music he puts out, the way he operates and the label’s overall image. Although for him, his main focus is to develop new and emerging talent looking to release music on a strong platform. Dave wanted to discover new talent and push the talent where the artists would seamlessly integrate into the already thriving and established production and release realm and so far he's successfully been able to achieve this. 

Realizing that no promoters were consistently pushing a truly underground rhetoric, which focused on educating a crowd in an intimate setting, Dave co-founded Temple Nairobi, a party which for the past 7 years has been a key building block in developing the more serious side of electronic music in the Kenyan capital, inviting artists such as Oliver Deutschmann and Per Hammar to showcase their sounds. Temple focuses on an techno and house sound. Temple is held at Shelter in Westlands, Nairobi, a perfect rooftop location for their sonic ventures and endeavors. Temple's continued mission Dave states "is to create a party that’s all about the music and the people coming together."

Dave has also built very strong relationships in the music industry being the Resident DJ and Operations Manager at 'Kenya Nights' as well as a Resident DJ at MUZE Club and has played in Kenya alongside the likes of: Black Coffee, THEMBA, Prince Kaybee, Enoo Napa, Caiiro, Argento Dust, Kususa, Desiree, Mobi Dixon, DJ Merlon, Shimza, Major Lazer, Da Capo, Culoe De Song, DJEFF, Hyenah, Pablo Fierro, Esa, Auntie Flo, Mr Raoul K, Archie Hamilton, Subb-An, Nick Curly, Jeremy Olander, Rodriguez Jr., Marco Bailey, Stephan Bodzin, Guy J, Kid Fonque, Oscar Mbo and many many more.

Dave is also a vinyl enthusiast who collects regularly. "Digging and finding that sound you were looking for is very rewarding. Being able to include something you have spent ages looking for is special and in this way my sets are more unique and distinctive.” He prides himself on being able to introduce new sounds to new people in Nairobi through constant digging. “East Africa’s scene is thriving with a vibrant nightlife encapsulating a vast array of sounds,” he says.

“Years ago you had the majority of fans listening to what they knew and what the radio played,” Dave continues. “Today, Kenyans have stepped out of their comfort zones and into a new dimension they feel a part of."
