If you’re a fan of Deep House music, then you have most likely heard of The Godfathers of Deep House SA. These iconic DJs have been making waves in the industry for quite some time now, and their name is synonymous with the genre. As someone who started a Deep House community page on Facebook earlier this year, I can attest to the fact that their name pops up time and time again.
South Africa is widely known as the hub of the Deep House world, and these DJs have solidified their place as the kings of the genre. While I was familiar with Jullian Gomes, Atjazz, Lars Behrenroth, and Andy Compton, I had never heard of The Godfathers of Deep House SA until recently. It was a pleasant surprise for me to discover them, and I’m excited to share my findings with others who may be in the dark.
Masia Mashapa, also known as The Godfather, founded The Godfathers Of Deep House SA and runs their production company under The Godfada Recording Label. Together with his lifelong friend, Victor Ngcongwana (Dj Spring), they have created a deep house movement that has garnered a huge following both locally and internationally. Their music is distributed digitally and is enjoyed by a wide range of audiences.
According to Mashapa, music has the power to unite and heal us. They believe that for every experience in life, there is a song that can convey the emotions and messages that words alone cannot. This philosophy is reflected in their music and their Godfathers App, a music-sharing platform that serves as an online radio station for mixes, a store, and a hub of links to YouTube videos and more.
In conclusion, The Godfathers Of Deep House SA have earned their place as pioneers of Deep House music in South Africa. Their music has the power to connect people, transcend language barriers and bring us together. If you haven’t already checked them out, now is the time to do so.
