From Rorisang - Pretoria Its great to see south african artists pushing the envelope in the evolution of house music and the afro-house genre. Ive heard your music - infinite boys - quite alot bt i only out sourced your music by chance. I heard when a friend gave me music, your music uses is not easily accesible thats the only problem ive had with trying to locate it. If you hav heard of a group called gemini boys who are doing something quite similar to the type of sound you have. I almost mistook you as one in the same. Your music is quite refreshing thou, its lyk afro-house with a fusion of minimal-tech. Which you only here from european djs, lyk jimpster, ben weesbech or americas kaskade. Bt u have something unique, you should put yourself out there and market yourself at social gatherings more so we can have a true taste of infinite boys. True patrons of house music, salute
