In common parlance, the two producers who make up Native Soul would be considered Inchma2000Inch-or, born after the onset of democracy, having never experienced Apartheid-by virtue of their age. Kgothatso Tshabalala is 19 years old and Zakhele Mhlanga (DJ Zakes) is 18. Their 12-track debut electronic music album, Teenage Dreams, is not easily dismissed as a project that shows their age, though. Teenage Dreams presents a youthful, experimental sound, but the arrangement of each song and how each of the project's composite parts are put together demonstrate an artistic maturity beyond the two producers' respective ages.A cousin of Tshabalala introduced the two in 2016. Native Soul was formed in 2019. Until then, each of them had been producing music in a variety of styles including hip-hop, different types of house as well as amapiano. They decided that with Native Soul, their focus would be on amapiano-an electronic music movement which, by then, had begun to dominate both mainstream and underground music scenes in South Africa.Amapiano is an electronic music movement first created and still most popular in the townships surrounding the major cities of Gauteng province in South Africa. The style borrows from various genres which have been popular in South African townships during and after apartheid, including jazz, folk, afro, deep and tech house, kwaito, dibacardi and others. As well as paying homage to all it's predecessors, amapiano also has traits entirely of it's own making, which differentiate it from it's lineage. The most recognisable of these being the drums made from basslines which stick out like a pocket turned outside of pants.On their debut album released by Awesome Tapes From Africa, Native Soul demonstrate the depth of the musical well they draw from. The drawling tempo and synth chords on InchWay to CairoInch, the album's second song, are reminiscent

Time passes, the world changes, but some things remain constant and unassailable. Heavy metal has endured for more than four decades because it's spirit is eternal, and few bands embody the intensity, integrity and lofty artistic ambitions of the genre with more dazzling aplomb than Master. Formed in the US in the early-90s by singer/songwriter Paul Speckmann, this most explosive and proficient of extreme metal bands have spent the last 28 years propagating an unerring creed of technical excellence, songwriting genius and thunderous, irresistible live performance, accruing a huge global fan base along the way. And now, in 2019, Master are ready to rise again and climb ever further up the ladder toward pure metal supremacy. The band's core musical philosophy hasn't changed much since they started the band. It's still about creating intense heavy metal with extreme vocals and a lot of melody in the guitars. This CD contains 2 new studio- and 2 live songs with power, brutality and extreme old-school-metal blasts.
