Blackwhole – 1000 Seconds (Atmos Blaq Remix)

A record woven deep into the tapestry of South African electronic music, ask any SA selector about Blackwhole’s ‘1000 Seconds’ and its certain to evoke a reaction, coined a “stone cold classic,” by many of the biggest names in the genre. Released 17 years ago, emerging out of the local Kwaito scene of Johannesburg’s townships to become a record bag essential for many DJs, the uniquely South African groove has had a far-reaching musical impact, resonating with dancefloors across the country. Now Kid Fonque’s Stay True Sounds picks up the record, after a long search for founding member of Blackwhole Mr Cee for his blessing to give it a global release. Described by South African legend Oskido as “way ahead of its time,” this innovative cut now gets a long-awaited worldwide outing, ready to once again turn the heads of selectors, this time beyond its native land. The release also includes a remix from Stay True Sounds mainstay Atmos Blaq, a key force in the development of the 3-Step genre, he adds his effortless, slow-burn aesthetic to the essential track.
