POPULAR Yfm and club DJ Oskido is back with a sizzling 10th commandment instalment. He will be dropping his latest Church Grooves series album today.
This comes after he reached the 10th commandment movement he started a decade ago when popular house music was still selling like hot cakes in stores.
The outspoken DJ, who started his career by selling boerewors from the streets of Hillbrow in the early 90s, says he has had a passion for music since his youth, when he would sneak into clubs at night to experience the vibe.
"In those days we used to play disco music that later transformed into house."
He believes that local talent is taking the world by storm.
"I worked with Mono T, Professor, Big Nuz, Winnie Khumalo and the ever-shining Lulu Dikana," he says.
He is busy shooting his latest music video, Thula Sizwe, which is set to send the nation dancing during the festive season.
"I remember how we used to import music for our compilations from the international companies but today we do things ourselves. I feel happy," he says with a smile.
"Working with international artists has certainly helped us a lot. I am sure even the youngsters have seen what we have done and I hope those who have done so will follow in our footsteps."
Oskido tells about how he had to make sacrifices. At times even his family had to take a back seat so that he could focus on his project.
Speaking about his latest release, he said it was inspired by the Bible. He says he started the project while back at Yfm when he was still doing his Sunday show.
He would ask his listeners to pray: "It was a house show but I felt it was very important for us to pray before we started."
After having been in the music industry for years "I am one of the few DJs who is still around, that is why I dedicate this project to DJs such as Ganyane, and the late Monde and Khabzela who were there when we started".
Oskido will continue working and discovering other up- and-coming artists.
His label Kalawa Jazzmee is one of the few independent black-owned music companies that is doing well.
"I am going to put more effort into discovering new talent so that my company will still be relevant."
