Hungary’s Marco Grandi fires up a bouncier, swung version of ‘What U Need’, with airy, shimmering chords, uplifting arpeggios and a deft rework of the vocal melody, perfect for long summer evenings by the pool.

Thandi Draai – Jika EP (Get Physical Music)

Gifted young artist Thandi Draai shows off her talents on a stellar new single for Get Physical with remixes from DJ Clock and Lemon & Herb.

Thandi Draai is a multi-talented artist who is rapidly becoming an international figure. She has received key press support for both her solo and collaborative music and is part of a new wave of African female DJs and producers to come to the fore. Based in Johannesburg, she has always used music as an escape and has been supported or remixed by Atjazz, DJ Shimza, and Charles Webster. Her biggest tunes often top online charts and include gems like ‘Iris’ and ‘Lomhlaba.’ Her always positive vibes shine through on this new single for Get Physical once again and provide an early taster for the latest Africa Gets Physical album which she will be compiling later this year.

The sublime ‘Jika’ is an enchanting and deep house track with spine-tingling vocals. The loose percussion and spiritual synths all serve to hypnotise, with fresh drama and a brooding intensity constantly unfolding above the grooves.

South African artist and award-winning DJ and producer DJ Clock is first to remix. He is a pioneer of his national scene, now making waves worldwide thanks to global airplay and high-profile support. His excellent remix is masterfully melodic, with uplifting chords stretching out to infinity. The smooth drums lock you in, and the vocals provide maximum impact. Fellow South Africans Lemon & Herb have achieved a lot in a short time since winning a remix competition held by the legendary Atjazz. They’ve topped Traxsource charts, released on Ocha Records, and now impress with this remix. It is a classy and cultured deep house tune with serene synth strings, dreamy vocals, and a heavenly atmosphere that lifts the spirits from start to finish.

This rich EP is a fine showcase of the best South African talent out there.
