The ever-seminal examination of the SA house scene, ‘Mzansi House’, is back with an essential eighth edition.
As usual, it’s a bumper 4-disc collection that shines a spotlight on Mzansi’s most promising young producers – this time around, Pierre Johnson, Fka Mash, Sean Munnick, and Brewed Souls.
Pierre Johnson is a deep house producer/DJ based in Cape Town who’s been plying his trade since he hit his teens. His mix, subtitled ‘Outsiders’, has features from Jazzuelle, Chris Jay, and Lazarusman, and showcases his trademark easygoing electronic style, with dreamy keyboard washes, jazzy flourishes and occasional vocals riding considered beats and deep basslines. It also contains the track “CURE”, already a major hit on radio and in the clubs.
