DJ Cleo is still doing what he does best by giving his followers and fans good music. There is no doubt that this 34-year-old musician is a trend-setter. When it comes to dance music, he leads and the rest follow.
Imagine being called a veteran at his age. He is a producer, songwriter and singer just to mention a few of his talents. DJ Cleo is a master of his craft, and what sets him apart besides his impressive talent is that he has garnered the respect he has for his fans.
This time DJ Cleo went for the kill, judging from the heavyweights and veterans he features in both discs. Disc 1 (Es’Khaleni Soul) features 13 tracks, while disc 2 (Es’khaleni 9) contains 15 tracks, and once you start playing both discs you will not want to take them out of your CD-player for a long time.
This offering has powerful tracks such as Zooma featuring DJ Mlungu, Mbizo Rocker featuring the legendary Phuzekhemisi, No Ish featuring Club 808 co-presenter Thando Thabethe, Skorokoro featuring the legendary Condry Ziqubu and Inspector Mkhaba and We are the Bad Boys featuring AKA and Jahseed.
This Ekurhuleni-born star has managed to make the title ‘Es’khaleni’ into something akin to religion and it has worked for him as he now has released the 9th edition. He has helped discover and hone some of the most profound music talent in the country, and with his unique skills and business-mind, DJ Cleo is a role model to many.
