Eletronic Music: Deep House DJ's,Mixes and Songs in Zimbabwe

-
Zimbabwe is a dancehall dominated country. Dancehall has become much more than just a genre but its now the most popular culture in Zimbabwe, every corner of the country you visit one will hear Zim Dancehall songs being played. Personally am a big house fan, Deep House to be exact, and this pains me that my favourite type of music is being pushed away and well its hard to find a club that plays Deep House. 

House DJ's and producers in Zim find it hard to get enough attention and airplay on radio . Deep Deep house is more of underground and its producers and DJ's are largely unknown and less spoken about in the media. Many people are more concerned with commercial house, the likes of DJ Stavo , Uhuru, Heavy K, DJ Bucks,  and less on Deep House & Tribal Dj's such as Black Coffee, Culoe De Song, Black Motion, Ralf Gum, Mobi Dixon, Reverb 7, Vinny Da Vinci...

Am happy that the Deep House Movement is making positive strides on top Urban Radio Stations. Shows such as Deep Fix from 23:00hrs - 00:00 hrs every Friday Night on ZiFm Stereo with T-Bass and The House Show every Friday  from 19:00 hrs - 21:00 hrs on Star Fm with Otis the Fraser are pushing the deep house sound to the nation.

Hope we get more shows dedicated to Deep House and Clubs too....We tired of Zim Dancehall every night.

To those who do not understand what deep house is or sound like,the mix below is for you. Well according to my definition that is. There are many definitions of deep house out there, trying to find the right one is impossible...you just have to settle for one and for me this set explains it.

Album Review: Asaph - Kingsvilla 2

Zim Hip Hop is a polarizing genre, it has its few loyal fans then for others its nearly non existent. For me most of the tracks are generic and they don't do it for me that much but now and then there comes an artist that just wows me and restores my hope in local hip hop. Asaph is one such artist, he announced his arrival with the Kingsvilla Album last year and got some heads turning. He then went on to release the follow up Kingsvilla2 and this time I decided to give myself a chance to listen to the album. After a couple of listens I was keen on making a review of the album, and get to share the project with fellow Zimbos. So ya today will be giving my thoughts on the album. The album contains 13 tracks and will be giving a track by track review . 1. City Hall Benches "Tamara voice note saying how much he misses his man Asaph and how much she is looking forward to seeing him..." This is a track for the ambitious and dreamers.  Asaph does not want to remain
