Forget those prêt à passer plugin presets that so many Mzansi house producers rely on to toss off their one-hit clubbing wonders. Sol Phenduka has. A more polymorphous, “organic” Afropolitan groove experience is what he wants to give his listeners. Translated? Whether it’s Swahiliscatted, minimalist-maskandi accordion and mbira-toned calls onto the dance floor (“Uhuru”), or chic Latin cocktail lounge come-ons cut from Don Laka’s kwaai jazzy cloth (“Moon Cry”), featuring saxophonist Mpumi Dhlamini), Phenduka’s debut is a sublimely soulful Pan-African house soundtrack. The DNA circuiting beneath his trippy tribal house invitations (“Home Coming”) and sexy shamanic soul seances (“Isolomzi”, featuring Cama Gwini)? All that jazz, of course. It’s the spirit of jazz that frames the brassy bounce of “Easier” (featuring Qairo) and the Mi Casa-Goldfish-tailored grooves of “All I Know” (featuring Soul Jock) and “All You Ever Need” (featuring Phindi). And it’s jazz that completes the seduction on Deep Cartel’s super-chilled remix of “Winter Sun”.
