Sowetan Onesteps

The story of Andy Compton is a fascinating one. In short as a teenage metaller from the English West Country he stumbled on the early 90s free raves of the DiY soundsystem, fell head in heels in love with the soulful US-style deep house they played, and began a long career making it. Like several other DiY affiliates, his sound became beloved by South Africans, though he didn’t discover this until much later. As soon as he did, though, he embraced the country and its musicians – with this album as a particular highpoint of that relationship.
