Not only is Soul Candi the biggest and one of the most loved and celebrated Urban House music labels in South Africa, they also teach, mentor and nurture music talent at their Soul Candi Institute of Music (SCIM). They have campuses in Joburg and Cape Town.
Soul Candi have been sharing their music production, DJ and industry knowledge with local South African upstarts since 2004, aiding would-be producers and DJs with the skill sets needed to pursue a career in the electronic music making business.
In August, they released a compilation CD showcasing some of the original and best productions from the SCIM graduate students, mixed by Aero Manyelo, he himself a graduate in 2007. It’s great to see the college putting something back into their students with this showcase and although we’ve not heard the album yet, it’s sure to have one or two undiscovered gems amongst them.
Lookout for the album at retailers for 99 bucks.
