Artist Spotlight: Liquideep (South Africa)

Left- Ziyon, Right- Ryzor

The Liquideep duo is made up of a Ziyon [singer/songwriter/producer] and Ryzor [DJ/producer], the two met as friends first in 2006 before their mutual love for hook-laden, melodically rich deep house music inspired the birth of Liquideep in 2007.
Ziyon who was originally in the States before he moved back officially to South Africa in 2004 started singing professionally when he was 19. He found himself in music circles and realized that he could take his passion to the next level. He started producing in 2001 for a lady called Swazi Dhlamini. He did tracks for Gloria Bosman, Loyiso Bala and other artistes.
Ryzor on the other hand was born in Alex, but grew up in Limpopo then moved back to Alex when he was older.
Just two years after their formation they caught the attention of the entire nation with the anthem ‘Fairytale’, which got play-listed on every major station in SA and received a SAMA 2010 nomination for Song of the Year.

Following their ‘Oscillations’ mix contribution to House Afrika Sessions Vol. 1, their debut artist album, ‘Fabrics Of The Heart’, was released with much fan fare in May 2010 selling in excess of 5000 copies in the first 5 days on the shelf. It turned out to have even more club-bangers with tracks like BBM, Angel, Settle for Less, Feel It and Still.
