During the 2010s, South African house music was a true kaleidoscope of scenes and subgenres that continue to illustrate the innovative and ever-evolving nature of the country’s dance and electronic sounds. From the slick midtempo beats of deep house, via the sublime moods and deeper meanings behind Afro-house, to the hard-hitting bass thumps of gqom and, later, the emergence of the deep-house-meets-jazz stylings of amapiano, it was an era that allowed a new generation of artists to shape the sonic landscape in their image. Here, you’ll find classics from Samthing Soweto, Prince Kaybee, TNS, Sun-El Musician, Mi Casa, Black Coffee, Bucie and more.
