Groove Box is a monthly podcast by Dvine Brothers where they play 100% Local Music.
The face of Dance Music, better known to many as House
Music, has changed in the Republic of South Africa. In the past
10 years or so, the complexion of the game has taken a 360
degrees turn, wherein underground or deep house acts have
somewhat lost spot for main stage. Before the change, Dvine
Brothers were also there, working in the background and also
releasing singles and albums. The transition saw many SA cats
failing to adopt to the change and thus fading into cracks. This
however, does not epitomize Dvine Brothers. The duo have
embraced change, thus was able to release a fully blown deep
house / afro tech album with House Afrika and immediately
switch to mainstream, hence were able to lay beats and produce “Love Is Blind” with Lady Zamar, just to name a few.
Listening to their sound, you will realize the amount of
experienced acquired by working on the deep house genre.
Their new sound, which is now what they would like to focus
on in as far as repositioning and rebranding their craft, has a
mixture of Afro Broken Beats fused with soul, African guitar
and a bit of tech here and there. This is what we call balancing
between good sounds, rhythm and beats in creating their own
African sound/feel and signature (sound effect) that they have
in all their songs.
