S3A The First Year

Out of pain and into the light. Puffy eyes and all I tried to articulate my feelings through sound. We had planned to do this interview some weeks before and then Frankie made his transition. I didn't know how I would present myself after not having proper rest for a few days. It was making a composition on my laptop to express myself that helped start me to come to peace in my mind.

I normally don't upload full songs but this is a special accusation  for special moment in time. #longliveFrankieKnuckles

Release Info:

It’s been 6 years now since our last collaboration with Roar Groove and The Revenge in 2019.
So it was about time to unleash some new heavy hitters by this House master. 

With the opener “Twisted Signal” this EP sets the pace and tone to spiraling and pulsating sines, great grooves and hypnotic vocal use. Dark dance floor material at it’s best! Followed by the deep “Spiral Highway” the a-side is one long live jam. 

On the b-side we take back the pace and make it groovy-er with the House cut “Open Your Eyes” in a true classic “Revenge” style. Closing out with the excellent lush journey that is “Your Life”, bringing back again his great vocal sample use and adding deep soulful chord flavors.

Get real Deep with this new 4 tracker by The Revenge! Enjoy!

J. Peacock is back for the Dirt Crew Summer take over once more! After his last collab release with Laurence Guy on “Shall Not Fade” in March this year we are delighted to welcome him again with four new deep and funky tunes.

“I’m Doing Just Fine”  is all about the strings. There's a certain feeling in northern soul records – cinematic, bittersweet – and sampling that energy became the starting point for the whole EP. On this track, the vocal hides just behind the strings, giving it a hazy feel. A loopy, dreamlike cut nods to the 2016 lo-fi house era. “Keep Running ” has a swelling, string-led groove built around a hypnotic soul sample. “Deep Burnt” is one of J. Peacock’s all-time favourite tracks and a big influence here. Urgent and euphoric, a driving rhythm with strings to carry the emotional weight.

“Can’t Go Nowhere” is a slower, more restrained moment on the EP. Inspired by the likes of Cottam, Mark E, and Tiger & Woods, this is a chugging, early-hours builder made for warm-up sets and low ceilings. A nod to the art of holding back just enough to keep people moving. “Hometime” brings together two of his favourite things: dusty soul samples and the raw grit of the MS-20. The analogue synth gives the track it’s edge, the bassline is constantly shifting and alive while the smoothness of the sample keeps everything in check.

Feedasoul Records is proud to welcome South African deep house craftsman KaySoul with his debut full-length LP, Black Rose. A ten-track body of work, with six cuts specially selected for a limited vinyl release, Black Rose is as personal as it is profound - a record that reflects KaySoul’s journey into fatherhood, love, responsibility, and self-transformation.

Steeped in rich textures and soulful depth, Black Rose isn’t just music - it’s an introspective offering wrapped in the raw spirit of house. With subtle nods to the legacy of Larry Heard and a South African house sensibility woven through each groove, this album moves with intention, emotion, and a grounded sense of purpose. It’s moody, honest, and beautifully restrained.

“The black rose represents the mystery and beauty of life. It’s about resilience, strength, and the courage to embrace change. Becoming a father shifted my whole world. This album carries that transition—the chaos, the calm, and the clarity that follows.”– KaySoul

With collaborations featuring OVEOUS, Steve Faets, and Berenice Van Leer, the LP doesn’t shy away from warm melodies and vocal moments, but it remains rooted in that heads-down, late-night feeling. Organic synth work, evolving arrangements, deep low-end, and tasteful restraint guide the project from start to finish. These are not just tracks for the dancefloor - they’re meditations for the mind, body, and soul.

KaySoul’s name has been quietly bubbling in the deeper corners of the scene for a while now. Since 2010, he’s built a signature sound with heavy emotional weight—earning him recognition at the 2018 Dance Music Awards South Africa, where he took home both Best Remix and Best Male DJ. Influenced by jazz, soul, and the subtle textures of broken beat and downtempo electronica, his palette is wide - but his intention remains laser-focused on soul.

As a label, Feedasoul has always championed groove with depth, emotion with purpose, and Black Rose is no exception. This is one for the diggers. The late-night selectors. The ones who still believe house music is a form of storytelling.
