Polokwane has been brewing for decades with a throng of talent, capacitated by the willingness to spread ones wings across the southern hemisphere. The dream of standing upon the shoulders of giants with revere, to become a reputable artist and a legend, is one taken on by the gutful.
Molapo “Darque” Malatji at now 21 years old has begun his journey to greatness from the age of 16 as a budding producer and DJ. The love of music comes relative to anyone who is surrounded by quality music, which was awe inspired by locals, when he began playing music for those who required enlightenment. 
For a hard-pressed 5 years he put his ear on the ground for only the best music, ranging from jazz to international deep house music. Forging his technical and audio proficiency the old fashioned way, by playing almost every weekend and producing music to satiate his appetite as well as for ground breakers like Jaguarpaw, Demor and Dj Terrence, he’s now ready for the world.
As alias Darque In Your City, he creates magic beats and exploits his talents at Deepforest SA as head A&R. He has produced a working rapport with the likes of Andy Compton, Kaylow, Kojo Akusa, Da Capo, Hennings Project, Reelsoul, Black Coffee and the myth defiant Robert Owens. 
His music has busked major compilations such as Music Box 6 by DJ Terrence, Deepforest Sessions 1 by Jaguarpaw, House Blendz by Dj Malankane and Jungle Fever Vol 1 by Wishingsoul. Now this is his long awaited album REE’s that features artists like Kaylow, Robert Owens, Sun Singleton, Black Coffee, Darryl D’Bonneau and Paul Randolph.
Darque is officially In Your City, with no less than Rare Earth Elements.

REE'S(Rare Earth Elements)

Gqeberha (FKA Port Elizabeth) producer KDY 97 makes his debut on Selville Records with his EP 'Conversations', a deeply personal EP to introduce his new alias ‘KDY 97’ (FKA just kdy) full of head-nodding bangers that might break your neck follow. 

KDY 97 has all of the intuition of the self-taught producer, following his ear into unexpected rhythmic and tonal combinations. It's what gives the EP its urgent appeal: the sound of Port Elizabeth being made live.

KDY 97 - Conversations

Luka & Sio - Just A Taste (fka Mash Afro Glitch)

The sound of this mix can be described as Deep Tech, which is grounded by the slow but soulful tempo of Deep House with elements and infusions of minimal techno, but also from an AfroTech perceptive.

You can imagine it on a day sun-basking at the beach while absorbing the ease of ocean waves or even at rooftop somewhere in Cape Town with a beer in hand while tapping your feet to the rhythm or you're stuck in traffic on your way home on a particular Friday; whatever the setting, this mix serves the purpose of easing into a groove mood while taking it easy.

The Animal Ep

OUT NOW on all digital platforms. https://www.deepershades.net/2019

It's been 11 years since the original release of "I Miss The Things" and even longer since its original conception. 
In this package you'll find three brand new remixes, all hailing from Africa. 

Slotta from Swaziland revisits the vocal and wraps it into a super deep, soulful, and dare we say, EPIC blanket. Expect to hear this (and sing along) on every deep and soulful dance floor around the world.

Speaking of epic, imagine starting your DJ set with Michael Ashe's dramatic afro tinged head turner! Send us a video and show us how your crowd reacts when the kick drum finally gets going! This remix by the South African producer is a masterpiece.

The third remix in this 2019 package of "I Miss The Things" comes from FKA Mash, one of the 'new' South African kids on the block who are rightfully claiming their ground in deep house music. Long-time on Lars's radar and asked to remix this song, FKA Mash from Johannesburg finished his contribution just in time to be dropped at last year's Spring Fiesta festival in South Africa. The premiere went over VERY WELL with the crowd singing along and people dancing hard to the bass-laden and emotional interpretation.
