Pushing forward their ideals of art & expression, Roots Go Deep's 2nd release of the year delves even further into their ethos. This time the roots go deeper with Middelburg-born duo Makhen Gigga. Known for a string of remixes & originals on Soul People Records & Kanzen Records, the duo (Kenneth Sibanyoni & Wandile Nicholas Nkosi) finally cement themselves as one of the deepest acts in S.A with this wonderful project. Almost a year in the making and broken up into a trilogy. Kirefu Bizuri (meaning deep well in Swahili) is their first solo outing, dedicated to their love & passion for everything deep, black & expressive. The first part titled 'The Ontological Ascent' features two classy moments from Makhen Gigga, and as the title suggests, both structures explore the nature of deep music by offering up a unique & earthy vantage point to the sound, in tune with the Coal City philosophy. Dark fantasies is a well crafted percussion driven odyssey. Arising afro accents built into a dense array of warm chords and a deep bass line that expertly builds vehemently. A vivid melodic memory so unique yet familiar enough to be called Deep House. On Serendeepity, the duo bravely explores the furthest reaches of their sound. A hypnotic haze of deep music with a low slung bass line that holds the swirling percussion and the dark atmospheric pads firmly in place as exquisite key work enters, leading the structure into foggier & darker territory.
