Let's Stay Together

Stay True Sounds Vol. 7 drops 29 August - another expertly curated compilation from label boss Kid Fonque, continuing his mission to document and showcase the label’s uncompromising vision; elevating the most exciting artists in South African electronic and house music.
Leading the rollout, Thabo Tonick delivers “Nika” - a slow-burn house heater layered in tension and flow - while Graham Deep makes his debut on the label with “Rabbit’s Foot”, a patient, atmospheric standout that’s already turning heads.

But the depth doesn’t stop there. Pando G comes through with “Analog Machines”, a raw, synth-heavy trip built on texture and grit. It’s one of the compilation’s most distinctive moments - unapologetically minimal, deeply musical. The kind of track that rewards repeat listens or gets dropped in a tech house set at 2am.

Another highlight is beatsbyhand’s “Aphotic Zone” - a haunting, immersive track that pushes deep house into darker waters. With its low-end weight and shadowy tone, it captures the late-night energy that defines the Stay True sound.

The full compilation features a tight, purposeful selection of producers shaping the next wave: Radic The Myth, Wapo Jije, Exte C, Freddy da Stupid, and more. New names and label regulars sit side by side, each track a standout in its own right.

No filler. No fluff. Just a sharp, honest representation of where South African house music is right now.

Stay True Sounds Vol. 7 isn’t just a label release - it’s a document of the culture.

Enjoy!

Raw Essence aka Dave Lee is pulling no punches with his latest dose of Discotheque dopamine. Feeling both familiar yet fresh, it’s all about classic good times here. Nostalgic disco rhythms glisten over Dave’s crisp, driving drums, which form the perfect backbone for the euphoric Moog wizardry to shine. Add in the irresistible vocals commanding you to get down on the dancefloor, and you'll have no choice but to get down down down.
