Having zoned out to 3Step and some of that private school 'piano, I'm back to what is definitely my home - BANGING AFRO-TECH! And what better way for the prodigal son to return than with pockets loaded AF!

This mix is an ode to Masšh's 'Astral' sound. His out-of-body experience inducing productions leave one transported and definitely short of breath. To help celebrate the release of his reworks honoring 2 songs that South African house music lovers [my age and beyond anyway] will know and love deeply [DJ Fresca & Kudoskelem's 'Int'engekhoyo [feat. Lelethu Nkula] Kentphonik's 'Masingita' [feat. Lolo], on Stay True Sounds, his name features 5 times in this mix. That all 5 of the Masšh-produced songs in this mix have been released in the last 6 months, is testament to the quality of production, the absolutely insane work rate and the fact he is intent on owning 2023!!

Speaking of owning 2023 - Blanka Mazimela was kind enough to slide us an exclusive!! I'm incredibly excited and feel blessed to present to you - the andhim remix of a track that has come to mean so much more to me - the 2020-released Afro-spiritual classic 'Gcwanini' with Korus and Sobantwana. I am a fan of both the German duo andhim [see their track 'Donner' and his remix of Armonica's 'Ngeke'] and Blanka's work, and so this remix was definitely a match made in heaven in concept for me - and I'm glad that it definitely delivers on all it promised.

I always try to have a personal touch in all of my mixes and DJ SOSO's "Precious" [Afro Fanatix Mix] is a deserving highlight. He teams up with frequent collaborators Ozy Man & Mr OG. to craft this smooth Afro House beauty, with all the hallmarks of an anthem! This is yet another release from the boutique indie Ubizo Cafe Records. SOSO is a father, entrepreneur and groove provider of note and someone we're lucky enough to call a friend of the House of Finesse! Proud to say we have stolen some pointers from the tenacity and consistency with which he has approached his music career over the years.

On Sunday 3rd September, we hosted the very first edition of Gin & Tonic Sunday Sundowner in Cape Town. As a way to say thank you for everyone that came and supported us, and for those that will join us for another Summer '23/'24 edition of GTSS CPT - here is a smooth and luxurious private school Amapiano set by URY.

Starting off with the jazzy and ending up with the slightly ratch, this mix features rare gems from Villosoul, a jazzy beauty by Jay Sax & Mdu aka TRP, as well as an incredible Kabza de Small remix of the ever popular YES GOD by Oscar Mbo & KG Smallz. Kabza makes another appearance alongside DJ Maphorisa & Njelic in the remake of Nana Thula - a certified classic. 2 tracks that are certified floor-fillers at the moment iThuba by De Mthuda, Da Muziqal Chef & Kwiish SA and Awukhuzeki by the legendary grootman DJ Stokie. Revisiting the classics is never a bad idea and taking care of that is the duo of Mr. JazziQ & Josiah De Disciple(JazziDisciples - before they went their separate ways)with Final Touch! Lastly, it would be criminal of me not to mention Isdima by Raspy, Daliwonga & Visca, featuring Laud. Definitely one of my favourite amapiano tracks at the moment and I think one guaranteed to blow up!!

3-step is a new wave of Afro House emerging out of South Africa, led by the likes of Thakzin, Oscar Mbo and Atmos Blaq. URY blends together a sensational selection of (mostly) 3-step heavy-hitters, all by South African producers, in a mix commissioned by GRATITUDE JHB, a Johannesburg-based series of curated events [https://instagram.com/gratitudejhb]. It's no coincidence that the name Thakzin is credited 4 times in this 10-track mix. Thabang Mathebula is undoubtedly a leader of this 3step movement and a rising star of the Afro House movement. His name is one you will want to remember!
