SA House DJ, Rowick Deep out soon with ‘Unleashed’

Hotheaded South African club Dj and house music producer, Rowick Deep has dug deep into his ocean of inspiration to unleash one of the most definitive house albums of 2011.‘Unleashed’, Rowick Deep’s second solo album, will be released by Lolhiphop Records in April 2011. The album marks the maturity of a career that has been characterized by ups and downs, but one which has through commitment and originality, rewarded Rowick with the emblem of a pioneer of South African house.

‘Unleashed’ features the cream of local and international vocal talent, including RJ Benjamin, Auriol Hays, Genevieve, Che Cherry, Wax and Steven Lee. Hits from the album include ‘Personal Angel’, currently No.2 on Y FM’s Hot 99 charts, and ‘Deeper than the ocean’ a high-rotation number which features superstar Auriol Hays and promises to be one of the biggest house songs of 2011.

Songs such as ‘Ice Queen’ featuring Kay (Coca-cola popstars winner), ‘Good Stuff’ featuring TV star/singer, Antonio Lyons, and ‘Can’t let you go’ featuring Wax, can also be heard on South African and other African radio stations from 5fm to Yfm.

Rowick Stevens has vast experience in the house music industry. He mixed and compiled the album House vs. Latino with DJ Vernon, as well as 45 BPM with the Heavy D Krew (one of South Africa’s biggest-selling dance compilations). He also compiled two editions of the popular Loxion House Kulca series, producing a number of international hits. Rowick Deep held a residency at one of Pretoria’s hottest night clubs, Voodoo Lounge with Sisco, Bubbles and Black Coffee, but took a four-year break from the  music industry before returning with his first solo album, ‘Music is life’.

“Music is Life gave me a chance to express myself as a musician, as it was the first time I produced all the songs myself. This album is inspired by the deep bond I have developed with my fans, listeners and club-goers, and it is a continuation of my self-expression as a music creator and producer. The album combines both commercial and deep house rhythms to deliver a fresh sound that is as musically relevant as it is club-banging,” he said.

With five songs from ‘Unleashed’ already on the airwaves, one thing is sure: Rowick Deep is back with a bang, and ready to claim his position at the top of South African House. ‘Unleashed’ will be launched on 02 April 2011 at Moloko Pretoria.
