This mix was inspired by my very first trip to South Africa with DJ Maniak. Plenty of nice deep house grooves and a few home made ones courtesy of Livin In Soul and Retroactive Records.
Special thanks to Livin In Soul and Retroactive Records.

Opening track.... - EWWW MAN, NICE. Male vocals, the bass guitar, and raindrop percussion instantly pulls you in. https://i.imgur.com/2GZinKW.jpg - 6:50 mark - Light goosebumps. Black Coffee indeed, "I like the way you say my name, it really, really turns me on," unforgettable lyrics. 12:40 - Yeah man. Female croon, soothing mid-tone chord changes, bongo percussion. 16:15 - Cabaret piano. 22:10 - Female vocals, mystic synth. COMPLEX production on this track. 28:00 - Transition Noted, CLASSICK track. The female vocals and keys are perfect contrasts to each other. 32:30 - WHOOSH. Hypnotic female vocals, burgundy satin sheets bones (Rhodes). https://i.imgur.com/sV852mR.jpg - 37:40 - GEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!! Her vocals....sexy as.... 42:05 - Nice cooldown ere. Female vocals, rainfall Moog. 49:10 - Yes. Female vocals, steady beat cadence. 52:30 - Straight G this.

Definitive 1985 sound. 59:30 - LOL again. House People, "Godfather of House 1986." MINT FIND. I haven't heard this track since then. Definitive Chicago house sound. 62:20 - Coda....Truth. Bucie's vocals and lyrics on this....heavy as. Wait for the trumpet.
- A LOVELY change of pace for deep house headz on this voyage. South African vibez make up the majority of the superb track selection. The male and female vocals and melodic arrangements are alluring. I dare anyone to get through the stanza from 32:30 - 57:20 without sending a cheeky text yeah? It's sexy, no doubt!
