A solid bit of radio from yesterday if I say so myself... Amapiano, 3 Step, Afrohouse vibes throughout, joining the dots between OG South African sounds and some of the UK stuff they're influencing

Good space but had a life changingly (literally) unenjoyable gig here

Weβre not talking about Yeboah, Baggio, or Weah.
Instead, I present to you: Gary Crosby at the City Ground, 1990.
You sneaky little shithouse.
Huge gamble to rest arguably the clubβs greatest player of the modern era for such a big game.
Sonny should probably have started, as well.
I found the full unedited text - with almost 9,000 words extra! - of Terror Danjah's chapter from Bass, Mids, Tops, and @briandavidstevens.bsky.social had a load of great unused photos, so here it is, complete with a hilariously detailed anecdote about how to carry a pen in a rave.

So if it's not that, could be any number of crossover early-mid 90s dance bangers I guess. Nothing recent jumps out but I am blissfully ignorant of a lot of commercial music now

First 1/3 of the show = Amapiano & Afrohouse
Middle section = 100% See No Evil production (think Amapiano/UK Afrohouse with a load of darker Bristol influence)
Last 1/3 = UK Funky & Soulful House
As someone who was lucky enough to go on a school trip to Germany at 15 years old, which included a day trip to Sachsenhausen, the sheer thought of anyone using such a trip to posture and not being deeply affected by it is truly disgusting
