Dj Pepsi

After being silent for quite sometime, Oskido’s younger brother, Nkululeko 'DJ Pepsi' Mdlongwa has done it again. Like his brother, the DJ has released a house installment, giving it the title, ‘Royal House Collection’. Hela, welcome to the Royal House Mense!
Even though the practice of licensing foreign house songs is still much alive locally, it is impressing that local house guns have seen the importance of including locally produced house tunes in their compilations. Like many other local DJs, Pepsi didn’t go wrong, together with the local underground house producer guru, Wandile ‘Master Wakes’ Zandeka, they have included a number of songs on this release. And guess what? One of the songs making noise at the moment is, ‘Pepsi’s Revenge’ [The Wakes Mix]. The tune has been doing the rounds on radios and you know moss, once the commercial radio stations start pumping a particular song, the rest is bound to follow.
With the cost of living gone mad, of people have become quite selective when it comes to the music they want to buy. And the same goes with recording labels who no longer sign artists that have not made a name for themselves. It is no surprise to me that Pepsi is one of the lucky few who Universal Music have chosen to invest in. A bonus is that Pepsi comes from the Mdlongwa family which includes the big dog Oskido and the up and coming and very promising young blood, Bobstar.
Apart from the local tunes that Pepsi has had a hand in, the project also features songs made by other music maestros from different parts of the land. The album features thirteen songs which vary from commercial to soulful deep tunes. There are some really killer vocal songs like, ‘Love Forever More, Amen’ that flows well through the veins. There is also one chilled tune that is promising to make some noise titled, ‘Medusa’.
As for this album’s sleeve, well, what can brother Phash says? Like I always preach, how the sleeve looks says a lot about what the album has to offer. This boils down to taking every single aspect of the project seriously. So they say, before you expect anyone to take you seriously, you gotta ensure that you are serious with yourself first. And in regard to this, brother Pepsi has done his best to make sure that everything is in order before this project could be released. Good one
