Fans of deep and soulful house are in for a treat in May as Ballantine’s True Music hosts the Deep Soul Sensation Saturday’s (DSSS), a weekly live streaming event featuring top South African and international house deejay’s all-in aid of the DJ Relief Fund. It kicks off this Saturday, 2 May at 22h00 with sets from the legendary Vinny Da Vinci, DJ Christos, Lady Sakhe and Thabo Phalatse.
The event is an extension of the Dance Music Summit (DMS), which was due to take place on 28 March this year but cancelled due to COVID-19 regulations.
