The Fusion has gone GOLD!!!!
I’ve always thought ‘Afro House,’ and ‘Afro Tech,’ demanded a big voice. The kind that called and commanded and I always felt like my voice would drown in it till heard and fell in love with ‘Dear Old Man,’ by @atmosblaq
‘Abandonment Issues,’ was the first song I wrote of the 4 songs that blended our worlds, after that last time my ‘daddy threw me to the curb.’ I spoke of myself and my small of hope of finding love again, and you all made GOLD!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who listened and told their friends about it! Those of you who played it in your cars, homes, stores and stages!!!
Shout out to @kidfonque for putting us together and @staytruesounds for putting it out into the world 🌍
And to @atmosblaq , thank you for the beauty and care you add to the grit and bite of Afro so brilliantly!!!

Grateful for another milestone — Forbidden with @iam_sio released on @staytruesound is now certified double platinum, with over 4 million streams.
From countless sessions and late nights mixing it with my fam @kymacproducer , to breaking the record at events, festivals and performing it live with Sio in Cape Town 10 years later… this one holds special memories.
Thank you for the love, the streams and for still running it up. The older it gets, the more it feels like a classic. Thank you to each and every one of you for making this milestone possible.
We appreciate you all!
Liquor is here... Sio & Daev Martian pick up where their musical connection left off.
Some collaborations don’t fade…they deepen
Streaming now...

A while ago, @idriselba told me about African rhythm; its impact on dance and house music globally and asked me to write a song about it. Now we have ‘The Drum.’
A mother is a light that never goes out 🖤
Vocalist and sonic storyteller Sio puts it simply – and beautifully.
From Ennerdale to the forefront of South Africa’s alt-house scene, Sio’s music is fearlessly vulnerable, poetic and deeply human. The kind of qualities that sound a lot like the women who raised us.
This Mother's Day, we celebrate moms who matter. The nurturers. The teachers. The unwavering ones 💐

Over a year ago me and @iam_sio sat down to make a tune. What came out the other end was ‘THE DRUM’!!
Gave it its first spin in a B2B with my brother @djspoony
