  • Hear South African duo Major League DJz’s remix to Blaze’s classic House anthem ‘Most Precious Love’

    [media-credit name=”Courtesy” width=900 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    In a thrilling fusion of classic and contemporary, Major League DJz breathe new life into the iconic house anthem ‘Most Precious Love’. Originally produced, written, and recorded by the legendary American duo Blaze, and featuring the powerful vocals of Barbara Tucker alongside the musical collective UDAUFL (Underground Dance Artists United For Life), this track has been a dancefloor staple since its release in 2004.

    First released by the iconic New York City house label King Street Sounds, ‘Most Precious Love’ quickly soared to the top of the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in June 2005, becoming Tucker’s sixth number-one hit. The track also made waves in the United Kingdom, where it initially peaked at #44 on the Official Charts in 2005, before a 2006 remix by the Freemasons catapulted it to the top spot. Now, as the track reaches its twentieth anniversary, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of house music and its ability to evolve across generations.

    Now, Major League DJz have taken on the challenge of reinterpreting this beloved classic, infusing it with their signature Amapiano sound. The South African DJ duo has skillfully woven deep basslines, rhythmic percussions, and subtle piano melodies into the original, creating a remix that’s both infectious and deeply emotive. Their fresh take on ‘Most Precious Love’ not only pays homage to the timeless essence of Blaze’s original but also bridges the gap between house music and the vibrant Amapiano scene, introducing the track to a new generation of listeners.

    This remix arrives at a pivotal moment for the Amapiano genre, which is itself celebrating a decade of revolutionising the global music scene. As one of South Africa’s most influential and rapidly growing musical movements, Amapiano has become synonymous with innovation, cultural expression, and a unifying sound that resonates worldwide. Major League DJz, at the forefront of this movement, continue to push boundaries with their reinterpretations, blending the soulful roots of House music with the distinctive energy of Amapiano.

    This release marks the third single from the ‘Amapiano to Ibiza’ EP, following the successful drops of Rosey Gold’s rendition of ‘The Dominator’ and DBN Gogo’s ‘Touched the Sky’. The EP continues to showcase the duo’s unique ability to blend Amapiano with global Dance music, creating a sound that resonates on dancefloors from Johannesburg to Ibiza.

    Major League DJz shared their excitement about the project: “We’ve always admired the soulful energy of ‘Most Precious Love’. It’s a track that resonates with so many people across the world. Bringing our Amapiano flavour to this classic was a dream come true for us, and we hope it connects with fans old and new.”

    With this remix, Major League DJz continue to push the boundaries of their sound, blending genres and cultures to create music that’s both innovative and deeply-rooted in tradition. ‘Most Precious Love’ is set to become a staple on dancefloors once again, this time with an Amapiano twist that’s sure to captivate audiences worldwide.


  • Premiere: Billy Porter’s ‘For What It’s Worth’ cover remixed by GRAMMY-nominated duo King Garbage

    Back in April, singer, television star, activist and fashion extraordinaire Billy Porter released the timely cover of singer-songwriter Stephen Stills’ ‘For What It’s Worth’, performed by Buffalo Springfield. That version had a “soulful spin” and kept the relevance, and today’s version produced by GRAMMY-nominated producer duo King Garbage has a Hip-Hop vibe to it, which may appeal to younger audiences.

    Urging for change in the hook of the record, Billy Porter encourages you to vote, whether you believe it matters or not. Our ancestors fought, bled, and sacrificed their lives for us to be able to. If it didn’t mean anything, the American voting structure wouldn’t be as it is. The tragedy of what happened in Atlanta this week during primary voting wouldn’t have come to pass. As New York City sees its third day since Phase One reopening, I hope we do not share Atlanta’s experience.
