My idea was to showcase the different styles of music I play as a DJ and also a bit of what I love in terms of production. It was recorded in my home studio as we are busy moving studios at Soulistic Music.Ĭan you tell us about the idea behind the mix? I've been travelling around South Africa, also Angola and Mozambique and working on Tumelo's album when back in Johannesburg. His busy style-full of FX, fader tricks and loops-has influenced a generation of South African DJs, and he brings that flair to the table on RA.371. Like many of his compatriots, Maphumulo favours soulful, percussive house that embraces melody and vocals. He produces music that transcends the dance floor-see "Superman," "Rock My World" or any other of his many hits-and his humble and hardworking demeanour has made him something of a role model in the country's rapidly developing scene. It's easy to see why Maphumulo has risen to the top. As we discovered in our Real Scenes: Johannesburg film earlier this year, South Africans are the biggest consumers of house music in the world, with a nationwide scene that stretches from tiny shebeens in townships to enormous festival stages. How many DJs do you know who get mobbed on the street? Well, South Africa has many of them, and none more so than Nathi Maphumulo, AKA Black Coffee, the country's most widely recognised star.
