Cluster & Eno - Ho Renomo (Re - Dreamt By Dreems)

When I'm on tour travelling I like to do edits. While waiting in airports, cars, vans, trains, customs, hotels, soundchecks I do them. This is one of my favourites. 

Ishinohana - Lucía (John Talabot's Sunset edit)

I was all echo, barely breathin’,
Trapped in a version of me I ain’t believin’.
But you didn’t run, you didn’t preach—
You stayed, you reached.

You didn’t draw me maps to follow,
Just lit a light for my tomorrow.
You never told me, “this is right”—
You let me choose the fight or flight.
No shame when I was movin’ slow,
You let me ache, you let me grow.
You saw a queen inside the grey—
And kissed the fear I tried to save.

You ain’t try to fix the cracks,
You let the gold fill in the gaps.
Didn’t tell me I was whole—
You just held space for my soul.

You didn’t push, you didn’t preach,
You held me soft when I was weak.
And when I could not even see—
You loved me into me.
You didn’t fear the way I changed,
You stayed beside what felt estranged.
You let me fall, then helped me see—
You loved me into me.

I begged the stars for revelation,
But your eyes gave the confirmation.
No prophet’s voice, no thunder roll—
Just quiet faith that healed it whole.
You called me brave before I moved,
You held the silence, nothing proved.
Where I saw damage, you saw flame—
You never flinched, you said my name.

You said:
“Comfort is a clever cage—
You warm in it, but you never age.”
I been soft with the lies I told,
Dressed my fear in marigold.
But you came clean with mirror eyes,
And let me break without disguise.
You ain’t drag me out the storm—
You made me see I was the form.
That mountain I feared was my own spine—
And still, you said, “Climb.”
You ain’t chase a perfect me,
You honored every phase you see.
Even when I ghosted joy,
You stayed like soul assigned.

You just held light inside the room.
And that’s what love like yours can do—
Not save me…
But make me choose.

Today I rise because you stayed,
Not in front, but unafraid.
You let me trip, let me believe—
You loved me into me.
No fireworks, no grand parade—
Just quiet love that never fades.
Now I walk in clarity—
‘Cause you loved me into me.


’Cause You Loved Me Into Me

Following the acclaimed Kouté jazz, we are glad to announce our new project compilation with parisian label Heavenly Sweetness in collaboration with afro/antilles record expert Nicolas Skliris. This project, that we introduced in mid February as Digital Zandoli with a limited mixtape, aimed to gather a wide spectrum of tracks from pre zouk era in the french West Indies. We picked 12 slept on tracks amongst piles of obscure caribbean records to show a broader spectrum to the Zouk music style that is poorly defined.  These tracks reveal the merger between traditional and other rhythmic genres (funk, disco, afro-beat, Latin Brazilian …), with the addition of synthesizers and drums machine to the creative process. Original, magnetic and highly danceable.

Jose Marquez - Mali Blues (STW Premiere)

Say You Love Me wasn’t “Om” Alec Khaoli’s first solo recording but the 1985 EP solidified the bass player and songwriter’s standing as one of South Africa’s most consistently innovative pop auteurs. He built a career on ubiquitous rock, pop and soul hits with groundbreaking bands like the Beaters, Harari and Umoja. But Khaoli’s seemingly endless fountain of music continued outside these ensembles, where he usually played bass and contributed songwriting and vocals.

Khaoli released several successful solo works while he made records with Umoja and worked on other productions with friends. This creativity was aided by Khaoli’s own recording studio. He was the first South African to have a privately-owned studio. As black artists were forced to record during lunch breaks and didn’t get sufficient access and time in the white-owned studios, having his studio allowed Khaoli to develop in his own way. Hence his productive output during the 80’s and early 90’s, releasing 5 LPs with Umoja and 5 solo LPs, along with numerous singles and EPs.

There’s something broad and dynamic about the almost epic pop sound Khaoli creates on Say You Love Me. Being the first South African to take control his recording process and thereby free himself from one of apartheid’s many strictures, he took his vision of music to new realms and made timeless music for the dance floor in the process.
