#12 Feat. Hype in Deep House

South African music producer Kagiso Sithole, aka Kilogram, makes a welcome return to Piston Recordings with the excellent two-tracker, Off The Leash. Based in Johannesburg, Kilogram follows his debut – Dirty Screws, with this one. He specializes in Deep House, drawing inspiration from top producers like Saison, Dam Swindle, and Jeremy Sylvester. Although relatively new to the scene, his work has already made waves with releases on labels such as House Salad Music, Lisbon Journeys Records, and Jive Afrika Recordings. With a promising career ahead, Kilogram is sure to continue delivering quality music, and we look forward to his return to Piston Recordings in the future. Off The Leash opens the release, introing with warm, soulful piano chords that set a laid-back, loungy atmosphere, which is enhanced with crowd ambience and crackling textures. Punchy kicks and sharp claps drive the rhythm, while crispy hi-hats add a crisp, bright energy to the percussion. A lush bassline grooves underneath, creating a smooth and warm foundation. Playful, dancey keys weave in and out, adding a fun, rhythmic flair, while chopped vocal shots punctuate the track with dynamic, rhythmic accents. Not to be missed. Monk In Blue concludes the release, opening with a subtle crowd ambience, setting an intimate, live vibe. Infectious, warm chords wash over chunky beats, creating a welcoming and groovy atmosphere. Spritely hi-hats and rhythmic percussion add layers of movement, while a deep, rumbling bassline drives the track with a rich, powerful low-end. A groovy saxophone melody weaves through the mix, adding a jazzy, organic touch that elevates the energy, making this perfect for setting the mood at an after-hours lounge or open-air terrace.
