1. THE APARTHEID BOYCOTT
In the 80s, the world – rightly – stepped up its boycott against South Africa’s apartheid government.

But this had unexpected and sometimes adverse consequences for South Africa’s music professionals and consumers.

Musicians still needed to work live shows both at home and abroad, and to make and sell records. The youth still aspired to clubbing and partying at the weekend after hard, poorly paid jobs under the thumb of an oppressive government. Music was their sanctuary: specifically, African- American inspired soul, jazz, boogie, disco and funk.

2. UNIQUE DIVERSITY
Producing musical excellence was nothing new for South Africa, even in the 80s: both traditional and jazz music of various genres had been performed, showcased and recorded for decades with the assistance of some of the most skilled and ingenious sound-engineers
and producers in the world, the jazz players rivalling their American peers in many cases.

But what makes Mzansi 80s popular music unique is that it had to – and, for the most part, did- appeal to a multi-ethnic, multilingual population almost like no other in the world, for its geographical size.

There may have been many tribal and political differences between Zulu, Sotho, Xhosa, Tsonga and others day-to-day, but when it came to the weekend, those differences often melted away for a while on the dancefloor. Paul Ndlovu had kwaZulu fans as well as
Shangaan followers; Black Moses and the Soul Brothers had followers and fans with everyone… and so on.

And everyone -detractors and lovers alike- were content to settle on the monicker ‘Bubblegum’ as a general description.

3. MZANSI TOOK DISCO- AND SLOWED IT DOWN A BIT…
…exactly as 90s and early 2000s South African DJs and mixers took House- and slowed it down a bit to develop Kwaito, Gqom and – later Amapiano.

The Roland TR-707 sampler came along in 1985 – at just the right time for the flowering of Mzansi disco and boogie. And in the artful hands of arrangers, engineers and producers such as Peter “Hitman’ Moticoe, whose work figures on several of the tracks here, it became
something unique to South Africa.

‘Yebo! Rare Mzansi Party Beats from Apartheid’s Dying Years’ compiled by John Armstrong is out BBE Music on x3 vinyl set in a gatefold sleeve, CD, and across digital platforms for download and streaming.

@late-nite-tuff-guy is one of the legends of the modern disco scene and indeed one of the artists who helped set the scene back in motion over the last 15 years. Having delivered a multitude of sure-fire edits over the years we always keep a keen eye out for his latest releases.

His latest outing see's him go to work on a previously unreleased Silk track Somethin' 'Bout the way which was recently rediscovered and dates back to their 70's heyday, so something of a holy grail release.

As you might expect from one of Philly International's finest this one is really special from the euphoric pianos to the immense vocal. The 1970's loss is definitely our gain in 2023. 

Released via the excellent @asandbees and as always with the label 50% of the profits from this release will be donated towards the British Beekeepers Association.

Off the back of the much played remix Dave Lee did of ‘We Go Together’ back in 2019 he has teamed back up with LA soul singer Raquel Rodriguez. This time for the track 'Undone' off her highly respected ’Sweet Side’ LP. Doing what the man does best, Mr Lee has restructured the track for the Disco Boogie dancefloor. Allowing Raquel’s dynamic vocal delivery to glide effortlessly over chunky Disco drumming, P-Funk bass & soulful synths before letting loose into a Roy Ayers-esque jam!

Lyrics: 

Take me to the beach
‘Cos i wanna jump in the ocean
I wanna feel that feeling
The pain is up and leaving

Heat is on my neck
Babe can you pass me the suncream
I’ve burnt enough for one year
(Oooh)

My skin is hot to touch
It just got way too much
And i’m healing
Ooh i’m healing
Protect me from the sun
We’ve been through way too much
We were teething

It’s getting easier to bite down
On the chapters of my life now
It’s still always a surprise
But i don’t mind 
No it’s fine
‘Cos you’re by my side

It’s getting easier to bite down
On the chapters of my life now
It’s still always a surprise
But i don’t mind 
No it’s fine
‘Cos you’re by my side


I’m still surprised what I can weather
Need to slow down
It’s been hell to leather
Need to slow down
