I
t was not so long
ago when I got
introducedto
Deep284. It was late
last year or should I
just say earlier this
year.
Long story short, I
was working as an
A&R Co-ordina-
tor for some South
African
House
Music Label. So
the story goes as
so, the label was
looking for new
talent to sign up
and generally as an A&R Co-ordinator, it was
my task to source this new talent for them.
The response was out of this world as I
con-
stantly had demo submissions in truck loads
daily.
S
One music demo submission stuck out for
me. That house track according to me was the
cream of the crop. Believe me when I say, back
in those days all I did was to listen to alot of
tracks and if one song stuck out. Then that
means that song is the real deal.
That track they submitted was simply tittled “A
day in paradise”, I can still recall the track as
if it was the first time hearing it. Took me to a
place where I have never been before.
outh African brand of House Music is very much
exciting. Every once in a while we are blessed with
individuals who are destined to change the game. If there
are such individuals, then this Production / Deejays Duo
is the future of House Music...

Unfortunately, Deep284 did not get signed by
the label I was recruiting for, based on the fact
that their sound was not the sound the label
was looking for according to them. Maybe
Deep284 sound is the future sound of House
Music.
Being the person, I am and being based on the
way these guys sound made me feel. I had to
do something. And this is the something we
had to put together.
