Former fierce competitors in the house music game Soul Candi and House Afrika met recently to discuss Soul Candi’s revised strategy as a new kind of house: a media house. Some of the most esteemed spinners in SA were there to represent: Soul Candi’s Harael Salkow and Kid Fonque, and House Afrika’s Tim White and Vinny Da Vinci.
Now no longer a record label, Soul Candi were able to candidly discuss house music’s wins with House Afrika during their combined tenures at the top of the compilation game – and going forward: DJs Funk DeepStar, Malankane and Miggs FoReal, who fronted Soul Candi’s successful ‘Selektor Series (Pretoria Edition)’ have just moved across to the former rival label for the ‘House Afrika DJ All-Stars Vol. 1’ release.
This meeting of mighty minds allowed Soul Candi to share plans about their future direction, which provides an opportunity for an excited House Afrika to share their music, events and more to the new and existing Soul Candi bases.
These certainly are electrifying times for the house scene in SA and Soul Candi will certainly be playing their part – stay tuned to soulcandi.co.za for more details!
