Echoes Before The Verse – AndyDeep & SemiLoopz Lead a New Deep House Era

Static Memory: The Story Behind the Music

In the vibrant, high-energy world of South African electronic music, dominated by the sounds of Amapiano and Gqom, a different story is beginning to emerge. From the heart of the Free State, SouthStateSound, a hub for nurturing local talent, is proud to present a project that shifts the focus to a more introspective and deeply emotional sound. The debut EP, Echoes Before The Verse, from the dynamic duo AndyDeep and SemiLoopz, is more than just a collection of tracks — it’s a preview of what’s to come.

This release is the culmination of a long-term artistic journey. AndyDeep’s path began in 2015, a quiet period of dedicated craftsmanship as he honed his unique deep house sound while DJing in Free State. This meticulous process of developing a sonic “recipe” is a testament to the grassroots talent that SouthStateSound is committed to championing.
