Hello hi! Welcome to the première episode of the ‘Essential Music Sessions’ with Nkully Luphindo. In this episode, we focus on underground artists who are at the forefront of the modern day soul genre in the opening ‘Top 5 Newbies of the Week segment of the podcast. Also, there is another segment of interest: ‘Artist Spotlight’. It aims to focus weekly on a specific artist who has either released an album, EP or song, or has announced an upcoming album, EP or song, and this week’s segment focuses on South London’s fast-rising neo-soul songstress Ego Ella May. Lastly, we have a 30+ minute guest mix from South Africa’s emerging deep house duo (and close friends to the podcast) The Bishops of House. Enjoy and welcome along! ❤
