Crates & Cuts — Remastered Vol. 2 | Side A: Speak Lord

A reverent deep house journey rooted in South African lineage and gospel-inflected soul.

Patient grooves, reassuring vocals, and basslines built for grounding and gratitude.

This is music for reflection, movement, and quiet thanks — nothing rushed, nothing forced.

Side A opens in reverence. These selections move like a quiet prayer — not loud, not urgent, but deeply felt. Rooted in South African deep house lineage and gospel-inflected soul, this side honours protection, love, memory, and gratitude. The journey begins with When House Was House, a gentle acknowledgement of origin, before unfolding into moments of devotion and reassurance through Speak Lord and He Keeps Me Safe. As the groove deepens, patience replaces urgency — basslines steady enough to lean on, vocals that soothe rather than demand, rhythms that guide rather than push.

This is music for grounding: for kitchens still warm after cooking, for dancefloors where eyes close and shoulders soften, for late-night moments when movement becomes thanks. Classic soul is re-imagined with care, from Sweetest Taboo to Gypsy Woman, not as nostalgia, but as living memory. The arc closes in cultural affirmation with Nyuku and Hayi Baba, where lineage, rhythm, and modern South African deep house converge without spectacle. Nothing here rushes to impress. Everything here knows why it exists.
