DJ SOSO talks to The Sunday Delights Show about his role in the House Music industry

Dj Soso took some time to give us an exclusive interview about his Radio Show and shared with us his knowledge about the house industry and the love he has for making music and living his dream as a
dj/producer and a radio jock.

Q: Who is DJ Soso?
A: My name is Lebohang Motaung,born in the Free State raised in Soweto. I'm a Radio Jock for vowfm (Voice of Wits), a house dj and a producer. I'm also in a Law sector,I'm a  practicing lawyer.

Q: What type of Music do you play?
A: I think I can play any type of music, However, so far I've based my brand around the sound of House Music. In terms of house itself, I play Deep House,Soulful,Nu Jazz, Deep Tech. Basically, the type of
sound within the house spectrum that I get to play relies mostly on the event itself.

Q: Can you please tell us about the show you hosting on Vow Fm and how is it structured?
A: My show is called House of Rhythm and its a three hour (starting from 6pm to 9pm) show aired every sunday night. I work with my fellow dj friend DeepAncestral, so in our show we focus on House music in
comparative. We are like a big pot of just all the different sound within the house umbrella.We kick off the show with a thirty minutes resident mix by Simlo called A Deeper Than Most Mix. Then we have a feature called Music Session, in it we have four record labels working with that comes oncea month to preview their upcoming and unreleased material. 

So far we've worked with Soul Candi (which we no longer feature),Surreal Sound Records,Baainar Records,Grooveland Session by the Brazilian Soulcrew guys,Peng Africa Records and So-What Records. In this installment we basically play a mix of their unrealesed stuff strictly promo and share the news to the listeners on what they should look out for under that particular label. Afterwards, Its another resident mix by DJ Scott Winchello (a guy from Leeds in the United Kingdom) playing for forty-five minutes. Right after that is our guest slot whereby we will play a mix of our guest dj/producer while we do an interview about them.

Q: Would you say your show is an edutainmental show?
A: Yes, we don't just play music, we share valuable information to our listeners. That is, we do back announce each song we playing,for instance, say Julien Jabre has just released a song and people forgot
about songs he produced back then,we will try to remind our listeners about certain floor-fillers we used to dance for which that particular dj/producer graced us with back then. Moreover, we will talk about the
history of that particular producer and about his influence in the industry.

Q: What's your take on the production side of South African House Music?
A: It wouldn't be fair to put SA produced tracks on the same pedestal as international tracks. However, SA produced house tracks are improving per release. The likes of Jullian Gomez are producing material that meets the international standards hence you find them now being under record labels of Martin Evison aka Atjazz.

Q: Who's your favourite international dj/producer?
A: Raw Artistic Soul,Charisma and Kerri Chandler

Q: Who's your favourite mainstream radio jock?
A: DJ Fresh, I think he defines radio and also can adapt to every market you put him into. The guy knows how to re-invent himself and he's always relevant.

Q: What's the frequency of vow fm?
A: online stream us on www.vowfm.co.za

Q: Where can we find you for bookings?
A: Via email djsoso100@gmail.com/soso@vowfm.co.za
