Here's a mashup between the infamous Nightcrawler hits from 1992 and the SA song called Iminwe from Makhendlas. As the latter was inspired by the former, I decided to merge the two to combine the unique vibes of kwaito music with early EuroHouse anthem. 
I hope you enjoy!

Makhendlas meets Nightcrawlers - Push Da Feeling (RCKHM Mashup)

New year, new 90’s South Africa mix with a focus on the 93-96 era. Previous years I’ve released a Kwaito mix on @ctw-podcasts  & @averagerecordsbln . This year I release it on my own page under the project name ‘Jam City’ which draws inspiration, both in name & artwork, from the original Kwaito project releases like Dance City, Ripp City, Dancemaster and so on. This one features the Kwaito DJ Tools, vocal sample tunes, Shangaan Disco, Import Mixes, Bubblegum stars turned Kwaito and the more out of the box renditions from the early and best era. All released on my favorite labels, produced by my favorite producers and featured on my favorite projects. Lots of recent uploads of mine, future uploads that will eventually find their way to my channel and uploads by fellow diggers whom I highly regard.

New Kwaito, G'qom (Durban House Music), AmaPiano, and a Afro-Futura Mix!!

Afro-Futura is a term to describe the 2 newest Futuristic sounds of Afro-House; Afro-Tech and 3 Step House!

Afro-Tech started around the late 2000s - early 2010s as a slower and deep, but soulful, ambient, and Electric version of Afro-House by pioneers such as Black Coffee and Culoe De Song.

3 Step House began during the early 2020s during the emergence of AmaPiano's popularity, though it can be described as a slower, deep version of G'qom (Durban House Music), with an ambient sound. 

Listen to both soulful and ambient Futuristic Afro-House sounds from artists such as DJ Kent, Enoo Napa, Kgzoo, Heavy K, Malumz on Decks, Major Drumz and more!
