In this instalment of Live At Meraki — a series by dotcomFM in association with Creative20 and Doppio Zero, The Firs — two selectors, zwelethu and Nathi Soul, pay homage to the timeless genius of D’Angelo.
Recorded in the week of D'Angelo's passing, at the 4th Meraki instalment, this session is more than a tribute — it’s a sonic dialogue between two of some of Johannesburg's smoothest curators whose palettes have been shaped by his influence.
Expect the essentials - but in true dotcomFM fashion - expect the deep cuts, the flips, and the renditions put together to truly honour a legacy rooted in soul.
