Samson A.K - July 2022

It were as if the windows had been wheeled wide upon so as they could all bathe in the glow of the warm, radiant sun which poured down from the heavens up above. It was the release they had all been waiting for, the sign that summer was here and that the cold, dark days of winter had been banished for at least another season. 

Soon wild things would grow, flowers and plants and the dense greenery of the grass would glow and bloom a radiant green in the light of the golden rays before fading a soft gentle brown. 

This was the season he loved the most, a special time in which he felt most whole and at one with everything around him...

Zoo Look are back! The pair have returned in triumphant style with a new EP for Permanent Vacation. 'Release' is perhaps their most direct offering to date - channeling elements of euphoric, melodic house alongside discerning bass infused tendencies. This one will work magic on the dancefloor, especially with that tasty little pause.

Boomkat review:
London’s Jon K & Elle Andrews grip Samson A.K. for the first MAL mixtape - a cut ’n paste hour of screwed downbeats, grotty jazz, and ruder club thrust, mostly built from his own productions interspersed with skits, on a tip somewhere between classic Disengage x Blue Jam.

Samson A.K. has long worked behind the curtain of London club music. On ‘Tape 1’ MAL spotlight the breadth of his mutant steez, giving him carte blanche for a collaged self-portrait stitched together with samples and cruddy, free-handed edits that suite the tape format well.

Side A runs from dancehall and deconstructed grime into pockets of bong-huff jazz and MJB-like deep house, then backward thru the bush of ghosts, into worm-charming industrial techno tremors. The B-side follows thru with a slew of distended offbeats and lopsided rhythmic programming to run rings around latinate techno, blown-out grunge, and radioactive brownian slosh, before bringing it back to root in mutant dancehall - a key fascination (obsession?) he shares with MAL.

Deeper Shades Of House #561 w/ guest mix by HARLEY & MUSCLE

Once again delving into the deepest regions of the vast house music ocean - trawling for top-drawer tunage - Vinny Da Vinci and the team at House Afrika Records have caught some big fish for the seventh volume of ‘Deep House Sounds’ – and snagged some seriously distinctive rhythms.

The big fish include some of the grooviest names in the current dance music game; the likes of Home & Garden featuring Lisa Shaw, Abicah Soul (remixing Vick Lavender) and Jamie Anderson & Owain. And there are some very special catches too: contributions from a couple of the recent wave of DJs who have visited SA and become enamoured with its vibrant scene.

These recent visitors to (and vocal ambassadors for) the country include Harley & Muscle (the latter played gigs here alongside Kerri Chandler in 2009) and frequent flyer to these shores, French producer Rocco, who has two cuts included in Vinny’s smooth brew, one of which (“Love Sunsation”) is exclusive to the collection.
	
But as “sunsational” and special as this cut is, it’s just one of the cogs in a fully funk-tioning, hard-driving and highly-charged set that’s seamlessly strung together by a DJ whose credentials are unquestionable, and who’s still on the cutting edge of SA house culture two decades after his dancefloor debut.

“This latest ‘Deep House Sounds’ isn’t a radical departure from previous installments,” according to Da Vinci, adding with a smile that, “It’s not necessary to fix something that isn’t broken!” But he says he feels that the collection takes a leap forward in terms of the freshness of the sound, and reflects the widening appeal of more upfront sounds on SA ‘floors.

The fact that this is the seventh in the series – House Afrika’s most successful and essential line – says volumes in itself, and with an experienced groove navigator at the helm, house fans know what to expect. And that is simply the brightest beats around, superbly segued and then vacuum-sealed for long-lasting, body-flexing effect…
