Hope you'll enjoy the mix.

Greetings pips.

Yet another offering from yours truly during these challenging times. I have never thought we would experience a pandemic in my lifetime, with all the technology and modern apparatus we use worldwide. Anyway, through it all I think music is the only thing that keeps us all together and sane.

Show XIV is a mixture of local down tempo deep sounds as well as abroad cuts. I featured music from Olafur Arnalds, COEO, Dave Anthony, Cuthead, Vick Lavender as well as local music from the likes of Enosoul and Pierre Johnson. Decided to lay down these tunes at 117 bpm.

Enjoy and God bless.

House music is a feeling, it is life and the wind beneath our wings.

During these hard times, I decided to put together a nice Gospel mix with a touch of world's current state. This mix starts very unconventional with a a South African gospel singer, Lebo Sekgobela, interlude. It ends nicely with Lady Alma's famous tune.

Hope you guys will enjoy it.
