South African artists, Oscar Mbo and Russel Zuma supported by local acts serenaded patrons during an all exclusive black affair dominated by soulful deep house and Afro Tech rhythms.
While the deep house genre has been eclipsed by the massive Amapiano wave in recent times, the genre was really awakened during the Let’s Out Party much to the appreciation of night crawlers who had descended on to the Game City Rooftop Terrace in large numbers.
The party started earlier during the day but it came to life just after 8pm when Hapex Guru took over the decks. Hapex Guru gave patrons a real appetiser of what was to come next. He got everyone on a dancing vibe with his set playing both deep house as well as Afro Tech.
There was a breather as next up on the turntables was Chopsy who ensured that the night continued in the same manner. Patrons could not leave the dance floor as his set was also fire. It was around 11pm when Russel Zuma got up on stage much to roars and cheers of the crowd.
He wowed patrons with his soulful deep house rhythms from songs such as Angikaze, Masithwalisane and some of his remixes. His performance was probably the best of the night. Russel Zuma’s set was engaging and energetic as he left the patrons eating from his palm. It is safe to say he really lit up the party. Oscar Mbo, who made a return to Botswana following the successful derby of Let’s Out Party in July, took over the reins just before midnight.
The crowd cheered: “Oscar, we wanna party” and he really gave them a party to remember. While he started his set very slowly, he picked up the tempo along the way, much to the appreciation of his fans that could not stop dancing.
He turned the heat on and gave the patrons exactly what they paid for as the night melted away. The show also featured KwenaMusiq, DJ Spooner, OskaSun, Lian, Soulman, DJ KRM, DJ Bunny and Romeo. The event was not just a party but a beautiful scenery as Ma-Gaborone also came 'dressed to kill' in their black outfits.
