K.O.G vibes with Kwaito Mix 2!
The timeless pulse, energy and fluidity of Kwaito fills my guts with so much fire and it was an honour to lay into this aesthetic and equally vibrant mixtape presented by one of my favourite DJs/Producers RU ROBINSON! An ear party of Old-School South African Hip House spanning from 1996 - 2004, featuring heavy weight producers and performers, KWAITO MIX 2 is pure joy and groove and plunges me into late 90's Accra, and the insurgence of Afro House in Ghana.
From start to finish of this 1hr 14 minute extravaganza, I am reconnected with home and stories of the South African plains, the melodies, bass, grooves, vocals and the vibe of the whole mix creates the most amazing nostalgia for me. Captivated by ARTHURS intro to the beautiful eerie outro MZEKEZEKE signifies Ru's attention to detail and incredible choice and style of this melting pot of enormous African House Energy from an era beaming with amazing production and showmanship. Expect to be wowed by artists such as CHISKOP, NEW SCHOOL, GUFFY, TOKOLLO, ZEMENE and many more!
Big Thanks to DJ RU ROBINSON for such a MAGNIFICENT mix illuminating our summer and bringing us closer to those epic moments of back in the day!
"Such a magnificent delight to bring into existence "Don't take my Soul" our sophomore album, depicting the pilgrimage back to connection with our roots and find clarity and balance.
This album is a reach out, a fervent and vulnerable anthemic conversation about identity, origins and reality. So much appreciation to the diaspora community for the influences and inspiration. Special thanks and deep gratitude to the Almighty mother, Asaaseyaa and all the Gods and Ancestors, especially to my Grandmother, Sarah, for her continued blessings.
This album wouldn't be possible without expressing my sincere gratitude for the love, warmth and support brought by everyone involved. My children and Family, my partner Jemma, GUTS, Heavenly Sweetness, Pura vida, the band both in U.K and Ghana and to Beda, Ben Haskins, Robin Downes and Owen Burns.
​
I hope this album blesses you and your family, helping you to find and protect your SOUL.
​
One love and blessings, always,
K.O.G"
