The Issamin label travels to Johannesburg, South Africa for a rousing new EP from Nash La Musica. That’s the AKA of Tinashe Jomairwa, a musician, DJ, and producer on the rise with multiple single and album projects completed. His recent production of “Drum Of War,” featuring Aphendulwa, was named a Premiere pick-of-the-week by DJ Magazine.
The EP’s name — Something Soul — says it all on the tin. This is soulful dance music, masterfully combing the best of deep house and a South African rhythmic and melodic influence. Nash La Musica is aided by the Xhpsa singer Matisse Janda, whose lovely and gentle voice adds a soothing air to these intricate productions. Highlights include the bright and yearning “Away,” the sleek late-night deep house of “Lapha Kuwe,” and the lush vibe and subtle breakbeats of “Qaphela.” These eight cuts will ignite any set, bringing something soulful (and special) to the dancefloor.
