Crates & Cuts — 812 by Obi-Wan SA 01 February 2026
Crates & Cuts 812 — Liner Notes
by Obi-Wan SA
Crates & Cuts 812 opens with conviction. Not urgency, not volume — conviction. These selections lean into faith, depth, and South African house lineage without turning belief into spectacle. The grooves arrive first, carrying gratitude, reflection, and patience before any message needs to be named. This is music that trusts rhythm to do the talking.
As the mix unfolds, it moves inward. Familiar themes are reframed, tension is allowed to exist, and introspection becomes part of the dance. There is no rush to resolve anything here. Instead, the set descends carefully, making space for vulnerability, restraint, and moments where the room listens as much as it moves.
The latter half offers release — not as climax, but as communal ease. Grooves widen, bodies loosen, and the music returns to warmth without abandoning its depth. The closing records resist final answers, choosing intimacy over resolution. Crates & Cuts 812 ends the way it begins: grounded, intentional, and unafraid of silence.
