28. Groove Box Mix

The face of Dance Music, better known to many as House Music, which has changed in the Republic of South Africa. In the past 10 years or so, the complexion of the game has taken a 360-degree turn, wherein underground or deep house acts have somewhat lost spot for the main stage. Before the change, the Dvine Brothers were also there, working in the background and also releasing singles and albums. The transition saw many SA cats failing to adapt to the change and thus fading into cracks. This, however, does not epitomize the Dvine Brothers.
