Early Amampondo remixed by Stefano Ranieri

South African musical tradition meets the contemporary vision of an Italian DJ and producer deeply rooted in underground House culture.

One of the songs recorded by the original line-up of the band Amampondo in the 1980s has been remixed by DJ Stefano Ranieri from Italy.

On October 23, the remix of “Igazi Lemvana” by Amampondo, reimagined, will be released on all digital platforms. A music ink below to the popular providers.

 

Originally from Langa, Cape Town, Amampondo are known for their musical exploration of African traditions, percussion, and the sounds of their homeland Pondoland. With this remix, Ranieri brings his own production sensibility into dialogue with a rich and distinctive rhythmic dance floor heritage.

With over three decades behind the decks, Stefano Ranieri has built his career around House Music and its many expressions, from Afro House to Deep and Soulful House, maintaining an independent vision and commitment to sonic exploration.

Stefano who is based in Pescara, on the Adriatic has experience as a club DJ as well as having done several re-mixes over his career. He has controlled the decks in clubs up and down the Italian east coast.

The result is a meeting of roots and contemporary sounds, where the language of electronic music connects with the energy and identity of African musical tradition.

 It is a real surprise that Tully McCully, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and record producer of countless artists has never released a Tully solo album - until now! The new record is titled Comedy Tragedy. Tully is the frontman and bass player of McCully Workshop, the producer of Lesley Rae Dowling and Crocodile Harris, (and many others) who have topped the charts in his homeland over the last thirty years. He is known for his entertaining (even theatrical) live presence on stage. He is a talented mimic and possesses wonderful comedic timing.  On this collection he plays all but one instrument and does all the male vocals, besides his work behind the desk of his famous Spaced Out Sound Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. Recently he has been recording introspective music, notably his progrock collaboration with keyboard wizard Gordon Mackay, and his folk pop releases under the name of Jaspers's Acolytes.

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s.  Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards. Visual for the new release featuring Lesley from the time of her debut releases .   Since then Lesley has released about a dozen albums mostly in her home country but she also has releases in Australia and the Benelux.

The track, als...
