We were pretty proud to be early jumpers on the bandwagon of South African House Music – aside from reviews poking at the genuinely innovative sounds of Soulful House emerging from the country, we featured the first (identifiable) international superstar from the scene, Black Coffee, on the cover of a 2009 issue of 5 Magazine.
Was that really seven years ago? And has it really been ten years since this guy started?
At any rate, Black Coffee has teamed up with Red Bull to offer a gift to fans in celebration of his 10th anniversary of making asses shake on dancefloors worldwide.

And while we’re at it, here is a video 5 Magazine’s Czarina Mirani made during Black Coffee’s first visit to Chicago in May 2010.
