Mystic Lion

Over the last 14 years, Culoe De Song has cemented his distinct brand of rhythmic house, infused with traditional sounds and rich melodies, and has played stages from Barcelona to Bloemfontein, all while maintaining his distinct South African flare. 

Having gained both local and international acclaim for his pioneering style of Afro-house, Culoe talks to us about his lockdown hustle, and the amazing commonality between Zulu and European cultures while walking us through his own life’s journey.

Making Your Own Luck

This week we are talking to the front woman for one of the most hardworking live electronic acts in South Africa. 

As the captain of the award-winning, chart-topping ship that is GoodLuck, their debut album gave us a record breaking number of Top 10 singles in South Africa – and their tasty blend of electronica and jazz and pop has seen them carve out a niche for themselves that’s seemingly unstoppable.

From chasing music in the desert to pandemic relief, to getting medical insurers to change their policies, Goodluck make the exceptional, routine, whatever they apply their minds to. 

Outro Song: “What Next?”  Apple Music, Spotify and Youtube.
