Echoes Before The Verse by AndyDeep and SemiLoopz Deliver a Glimpse into a New Era of Deep House.
From the thriving music scene of the heart of South African in Free State, visionary producers AndyDeep and SemiLoopz are proud to announce the release of their debut collaboration, the Echoes Before The Verse EP. This EP is a powerful statement and a fresh perspective on South African electronic music, born from a decade-long journey of artistic refinement.
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.
