You can't deny the fact that South African dance music is right at the top now.

Productions coming from this side of the equator have got the whole world running this way in search of the next hit . . . and that we have continually provided with oomph.

One of those artists just giving undeniable ecstatic material is Zakes Bantwini. A producer of L'vovo Derrango's previous hits, he came out of his own as an artist, when he featured on Black Coffee's slammer Juju. Did you see their electrifying performance at the Channel O Music Video Awards?

Well, the two have teamed up for Zakes' latest album, Love, Light and Music. Already, their collaboration has produced the chart-topping exeptional hit Bum Bum (featuring Tumelo) that refuses to die down.

Wasting My Time is strong on both the lyrical content and piercing musical prowess. Juju is featured on the album in the form of the Mindlo and Essential remix that has been highly rated by Rocco.

He features Shana on the exuberant Nomathemba. You will be bowled over by the praise-singing like vocal intro and its cunning approach that would melt any woman's heart.

Summer sounds like an extention of the jazz standard Summertime, but has an exciting expressive life of its own. Let it go, and just clap along to the vibrant Clap Your Hands feauturing Xolani Sithole that is getting some serious attention on the airwaves as well.

Make the Sunrise Tell is a heart-warming cut that amazes with its strong vocal interpretation. It kills even more when he hums along to the melodic piano lines that adorn its colourful nature.

This praiseworthy album is a musical experience that has been created to touch, excite, impress, exalt, amuse, and make all good things that make the heart grow fonder.
