South Africa continues to build on it’s reputation as a haven for spiritual House music and culture. Thee Gobbs is another stellar DJ to emerge from the homeland to keep on your radar. “It’s Time”, his debut on Atjazz showcases his deft touch as a producer with a keen sense of musicianship. He seemlessly fuses the spirtual melodies with the emotive harmonies deep infectious grooves. This double cd features Gobbs original compositions while disc B features some tasty remixes from some of the most notable DJ/Producers today. “The Love” is a joyous dance track featuring Johannesburg based vocalist Tsholo. “Thin Ice” is another pulsating tune featuring vocalist RJ Reynolds. “Like A Drum”, the track that rose Gobbs name to a broader audience features a number of scorching remixes but among my favorites is the deep house remix from Fish Go Deep. “Time To Rise” receives a soulful house remix from priemere DJ/Producer Sean McCabe. Gobbs had already knocked on the door with his two previous singles. Now with “It’s Time” he’s blowing it wide open.
