House - part 2

Devoted- Fundamentals EP

On this release, Fundamentals Devoted relentlessly explores with various sounds in effort to showcase his musical ability and yet stay relevant to the dance floor. Fundamentals has become a phenomenon in the South African dance scene and is on high rotation at parties. Furthermore, the song also earned its own dance move in Mamelodi, Pretoria, South Africa with local DJs like Dj Boere being known as the main players of the song.

Devoted African Child AKA Sakhile Devoted (Music Producer, Dj & instrumentalist) began exploring with music informally in the early 2000s by playing a flute and then he later moved on to the keyboard in the mid-2000s. During the same period, a curiosity about editing a well-known song led him to try out the process of music production and the rest was history.
From there on, he dedicated long hours in his home studio exploring the various genres of music, more especially upbeat house-music. His hobby developed into a passion as the support from friends and music lovers in general began to be noteworthy. He then started distributing his music through DJs to play at parties in SA and his talent caught the attention of the masses. In 2011 he released his debut vocal song Soul on fire feat. Kholi which became an underground success internationally. In 2012 he worked on further international projects to further expand his musical flair. This year (2013) he collaborated with the talented US-based talented vocalist Mmelashon on a song titled More Than and also released a follow-up single with Tribe Records UK in July 2013 titled Ngibizwa featuring yet again the talented singer/songwriter Kholi Twala on vocals.

The secretsundaze singles label has already won many fans with their first two releases from Brawther and most recently Two Armadillos, confirming that one of the world's most famous Sunday parrties isn't just a great event but a serious label to boot.

For the third release they present ‘Shelter’ by UK based Ethyl and Flori.  The two friends met while studying music technology in Birmingham and have been inseparable ever since, much to their respective girlfriends’ distress, but a bonus for their music fans!  Previously releasing on Quintessentials, Freerange and Tsuba the pair have received praise for their mature sound that belies their tender years.  

Ethyl and Flori’s original version of ‘Shelter’ is not unlike one of Omar S' more melodic outings with its vintage drum machine groove, offset with a hooky melody played on sweeping strings and keys.  Listen to it a few times and see how long it takes before you’re humming along!  ‘Shelter’ has a charm and warmth that wraps around the listener, while never sounding twee, as its deep sub bass is ever present.  

On the flip side they draft in long-time secretsundaze hero and one of the principle lights of Detroit techno; none other than Rolando.  As a past member of Underground Resistance, his long and successful career spans nearly 20 years, leading up to recent productions on the likes of Delsin and Ostgut Ton.  Rolando's remix takes ‘Shelter’ on a snaking, tracky, percussive, aquatic techno journey that is constantly building and teasing yet never boiling over, leaving the listener with a feeling of tension throughout.  Syncopated percussion, claps and swelling pads all work their magic before the original’s main line rears its head.  

While Ethyl and Flori’s original version is perfect for those special moments, Rolando’s remix gives DJs an alternative that’s not only a peak-time set-builder, but will also work on those 4am dancefloors, making this is another killer package from the secretsundaze camp.
