Charles Webster announces his forthcoming landmark album ‘Charles Webster And The South African Connection – From The Hill’, with first single ‘Bakulindele’ featuring Muzi: a transcendental experience.
Kicking off the highly anticipated forthcoming collaborative album from Charles Webster on Stay True Sounds, the first single is a masterclass in deep, emotive electronic music. Teaming up with genre-bending South African artist Muzi, this organic collaboration blends Webster’s signature, soul-driven electronic production with Muzi’s raw, hypnotic vocals. “We really paid attention to the drum swing when making this,” Muzi shares. “It was cool to work with a fellow sonic experimenter like Charles,” highlighting the creative synergy that defines this record, which is both timeless and forward-thinking.
This release represents the key inception of a project that brings together the best of South Africa’s underground music scene. It sets the tone for what’s to come: a deep, immersive journey through sound, culture, and collaboration. With Webster’s roots deeply entrenched in SA’s house music movement and Muzi’s genre-defying artistry, Bakulindele marks the beginning of something truly special.
About the project:
Stay True Sounds supremo Allan Nicoll, aka Kid Fonque, and legendary UK producer Charles Webster have brought together the cream of the South African deep house scene for a unique album. The record was recorded at Flame Studios, a facility built inside a prison at Constitution Hill in South Africa, which is very significant to South Africans, because that’s where the Constitution was written. “It’s a remarkable institution,” says Charles. “Mandela was in there; you can really feel the history. You’re working in a prison cell from a brutal regime. It’s an important place. So, I didn’t want the album to be too light, because you can’t escape from politics anywhere, but especially somewhere like here – and you shouldn’t.” Charles Webster And The South African Connection – ‘From The Hill’ is to be released on August 29th 2025 via Stay True Sounds.
