South Africa has long been a hotbed of innovative electronic music and a source of inspiration for producers worldwide.
Over the past few years, we have been fortunate to work with some incredible South African artists and are delighted to present ‘Anjunadeep South Africa,’ a seven-track compilation featuring exclusive new music from Karyendasoul, BokkieUlt, and DJ Buhle, alongside tracks from Bantwanas feat. Pops Mohamed & Sobantwana, Da Capo, Cornelius SA & Sebee and Heavy-K & Ami Faku.
The release will be rolled out ahead of Anjunadeep’s debut South Africa Open Air shows, taking place in Johannesburg and Cape Town on March 29 and March 30 respectively. The shows feature a stacked line up including EP artists DJ Buhle, Cornelius SA, Da Capo and Karyendasoul, as well as Ben Böhmer, James Grant & Jody Wisternoff, Nicky Elisabeth and Fka Mash.
Furthermore, the release will be celebrated with an EP Launch Party taking place in Johannesburg March 3, featuring three EP artists plus Fka Mash, as well as local support acts. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Soul Candi Institute of Music, an established educational establishment with over 20 years of experience training aspiring African musicians in music production and technology.
The various artists compilation is the first international release of its kind on the label, and showcases the best in melodic electronic music coming out of the country.
The compilation features custom artwork from Cape Town artist Yay Abe.
