More about HOUSE AFRIKA

House Afrika Records has been at the forefront of the local funk scene for almost two decades, cementing deep dance culture into the consciousness of the South African population.

Initially started as a small, vinyl-only concern in Hillbrow in the early 90s, it then opened up the SA dance music playing field by releasing some of the first compilations of the kinds of club-banging international tracks that were bringing the people of South Africa together at a pivotal time.

Collections like ‘Fresh House Flavas’ took the sounds that the likes of DJ Fresh, Vinny and Christos were rocking at raves, shebeens and stokvels across the country and put them onto CD for the public to appreciate whenever they pleased. Subsequently it set in motion CD lines that have become essential listens, like local versions of the ‘Africanism’ series and the ‘Deep House Sounds’ series.

More recently it’s sealed deals with the local beat-makers fast catching up with their overseas counterparts: acts like Rhythmic Elements (who won a SAMA Award for Song Of The Year with “2 by 2” in 2009) and the Bass Breaks & Beats label, with whom they released the best-selling ‘House Afrika Sessions’ 4-CD set in 2010. This collection spawned the massive crossover hit “Fairytale” by Liquideep.

And the House Afrika’s story is a fairytale that’s set to continue…
