Sun-El Musician
Mixmag Lab Johannesburg
The 'afro house changed my life' gap-year students are out in full force, desperately trying to find the off-beat and failing miserably. Just close your eyes and sway, mate. The intimate vibe at the Mixmag Lab Johannesburg is proper warm, a masterclass in soulful, syncopated rhythms. If you're analyzing the Sun-El Musician Mixmag Lab Johannesburg tracklist, this deeply melodic Rominimal set grooves at a very relaxed 116.6 BPM.
The Sun-El Musician live set is an emotional journey, heavily utilizing 5A and 10B keys to craft a lush, building energy arc that relies on vocal harmonies and deep bass. As a crate digger, Sun-El is playing chess while others play checkers. Mixing his own unreleased gems with the Thin White Duke remix of Starsailor's 'Four To the Floor' is absolute genius. The journey is flawlessly paced.
Starting deep with an 'Unknown' opening track, the room completely melts during the 9-minute epic 'Sun-El Musician & Msaki - Ubomi Abumanga'. He wraps up the spiritual session with the beautiful closing track, 'Azana - Your Love'.
