Another year gone and we from TropicalBass.com didn’t write too much about the bubbling house scene of South Africa. All eyes are on Luanda now which sometimes makes us forget about the high level of quality and big number of output by South-African artists.
Unfortunatly the release and promotion situation of South African music stays difficult – most artists and labels are totally focused on their home market.

There’s no doubt that the music coming from Durban and the other music metropoles in SA are still worth listening to. We put a small list together for you:

1. L’vovo feat. Professor – “Palesa”

2. Professor feat. Oskido & Charactor – “Fingerprints”

3. Dj Fisherman feat. Dr Malinga, Oskido, Mampintsha, Danger, & Dj Tira – “Izinja sondela”

4. Bhar – “Uyabhumpa” feat. Sir Bubzin & Dj Tira

5. DJ TIRA feat Mampintsha – “4000″

6. Vetkuk vs Mahoota – “iStokvela”

7. Oskido feat. Candy & Mabhiza – “Tsa Mandebele”

8. Big Nuz – “Emahlanyeni”

9. DJ Cleo feat. Teddy Bears “Follow me”

10. DJ Zinhle – “My name is” feat. Busiswa

11. Shota – “Abantu Bami”

12. Teddy Bears – “Turn Around”

13. Bantu Soul – “Stomp your feet and dance”

14. Dj Tira – “Summertime”

15. DJ Mahoota vs Vetkuk – “Masella feat Thebe”
