Each collection represents a specific moment and mindset in South African dance music. As a whole, the collection represents many of the distinct movements at work in Soul Africa’s vibrant dance music industry – rich diversity which captures the essence of Soul Candi.</div> <div> After a 2­year hiatus, The Soul Candi Sessions are back ­ and they haven’t lost a thing in the interim. Soul Candi Sessions 2014 returns packed with all the things you have come to expect from the seminal series.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Soul Candi Sessions 2014 is an aural feast: 5 discs of world­class house music from local luminaries Claude, Euphonik and Harael Salkow as well as bright new stars DJ Game and Vaalsow. Each have each contributed a disc of music which will take you ­ the listener, deep into their record bags and studios.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Whether you’re after the fiery tunes that are destroying dancefloors around the world ­ or deep, dreamy gems ­ Soul Candi have assembled a stellar cast to fulfil the task of moving your body, mind and soul. Now all you have to do is press play...</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Claude ­ Stereo Candi Sessions</span></b></div> <div> A connoisseur whose impeccable taste is behind the highly regarded Stereo Candi series, Claude has a long and fruitful relationship with Soul Candi. Blending the forward­thinking creativity of house music with the timeless depth of soul, his disc glistens with warm 4/4 driven house and velvety vocals from both local and international producers.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The mix highlights his exceptional taste and, just as importantly ­ his skill in delivering it in a way that effortlessly avoids all the usual clichés. It works on the purest level of just making you want to dance and flow with its deep and delectable grooves.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232;">Harael Salkow ­ La Dolce Vita</span></div> <div> Staying true to the brand’s philosophy, La Dolce Vita oozes class. Soul Candi’s main man, Harael Salkow has handpicked a playlist of his current favourites (tracks from, Herbert, Ten Walls and Tensnake) and combined them with timeless classics (from The Lovebirds and Nneka). As always his mix has been assembled to evoke sun­kissed smiles and good times; best suited to those hours when the sun touches the horizon – at sunrise and sunset. Savour this cocktail of mesmerizing melodies, low­slung bass lines and a double shot of spine­tingling electronic soul.</div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Vaalsow ­ Back To Life</b></span></div> <div> Vaal collides with Soweto in the form of Vaalsow. Musical partners Earl W Green and Mikah S. are behind the smash hit, ‘Hade Mabebeza’ which demolished the charts ­ for good reason. The pair have an understanding of the current pulse of house music that seems to transcend genre labels; they have a way of merging afro­pop, soul and house to create infectious grooves and limb­controlling rhythms.</div> <div> Finding the best new talent and giving them a platform to air their finest cuts is part of Soul Candi’s mission and Vaalsow is undoubtedly one of the hottest new production duos to emerge from Johannesburg’s underground. Lush instrumentation, thick drums and beautiful melodies are in full effect and the Vaalsow sound is taken to the next level with Earl W Green’s golden voice. ‘Back To Life’ is their first full­length offering and on it Vaalsow flaunts their immense talent.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Euphonik ­ For The Love Of House</span></b></div> <div> A floor­burning mix from one of the industry’s most reliable party starters ­ Euphonik has build a solid reputation for pioneering the season's biggest records. A blend of African textures and influences from his voyages to the globe’s biggest party destinations, Euphonik’s new ‘For The Love Of House’ mix showcases his world of peak­time sounds of the club­rocking variety. A quick glance at the tracklist reveals hands­in­the­air fare from familiar favourites like Dennis Ferrer and Gregor Salto as well as records from cutting edge producers like Nicolas Jaar and Soul Minority. Euphonik is in the HOUSE!</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">DJ Game ­ Best Of Both Worlds</span></b></div> <div> Soul Candi’s A&R specialist, DJ Game has carved a niche for himself by being able to hunt down the best tunes. This skill is particularly useful in his role as a DJ. Game has maintained a diverse music policy from the very start andthis indicates two things: his depth of knowledge and his refusal to be pigeonholed.</div> <div> Big basslines, fat kicks and sultry vocals combine to make a Technicolor music mosaic</div> <div> –from drum­driven tribal house through to electro and deep house, DJ Game’s Soul Candi Sessions debut captures his vast sonic vision. Through his eyes the future looks very bright indeed.</div> <div> Words: Heather Mennell</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Launch Date: October 2013</div> <div> Available: Musica, Look & Listen, Itunes RSP: TBC</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/soulcandi">www.facebook.com/soulcandi</a> | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/soulcandi">www.twitter.com/soulcandi</a> | <a href="http://www.instagram.com/soulcandi">www.instagram.com/soulcandi</a> | <a href="http://www.google.com/+SoulCandi">www.google.com/+SoulCandi</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/soulcandi">www.youtube.com/soulcandi</a></div> <div> <br /></div>
