INTERVIEW: RHYTHM SOUL


Rhythm Soul is an upcoming house music group that combines the popular genres in house music such as Tribal, Commercial and Deep House.

And their upcoming single titled Push It Up which will be released by House365 in April 2014.

1. Why the name Rhythm Soul?
The name came to us just like many great inventions, by just rumbling words and Rhythm Soul came about. We chose it because, “Rhythm Soul” is a mixture of Rhythm (beat of the music) and the human Soul, because the “Rhythm of the music” determines the emotion of a person, some brings joy to the soul, some sadness, some love, some excitement, etc.

2.Who are the members?
There are three members in the group, Nhlanhla Joseph Maseli (AKA Jay Roux), Tshepo Hillary Setuke (AKA Emperor Of Deep), both producers/deejays in the group. And the 3rd member is Paul Brown Masenya (AKA Masenya) who is a vocalist/songwriter in the group.

3.Why did you decide to do house music and not other genres?
Our love for House Music since early ages brought us together, we do venture into other genres but at the moment our main focus is pushing our house music project.

4.Where can one find you’re Podcasts or Music mixes if you have?
Well, you can our music at soundcloud, beatport, Junodownload, Itunes, Youtube, Amazon, and Traxsource for now.

5.How would you describe Rhythm Soul a collective in three words?
Unique Creative Souls

6. What are you bringing that’s new or different?
A combination of other genres into one while keeping it simple.

7. Who would you like to produce for or collaborate with in 2014?
We hope to work with a lot of producers/ artists. Both established and upcoming. Hopefully  the likes of Blacks Coffee, Jullian Gomez, Monocles & Slezz, Da Capo, and work on more projects with Calvin Fallo.

8. What sets Rhythm Soul apart from other House acts?
Well, individually were awesome so collectives were,, Just amazing.

9. Are there any live instruments in your sets?
Well we fuse different instruments when making music, to give our audience the amazing music we provide. We just do everything in the box.

10. Which South African producers have you worked with?
MA Naughtations, Acoustic Fellaz, Calvin Fallo, Claude9 Morupisi

11. Which South African or international producer would you like to work with?
With a lot both well-known and upcoming. But if we have to mention names, locally would be Black Coffee (obviously), Monocles & Slezz (and we’ll be releasing an EP under their company, look out for it will be released this year)

12. Where do you see Rhythm Soul in the next 5 years?
