About Release
Danism + Train & Toshi – More / Mabele appears on SOSURE MUSIC as catalogue SSMEP001, a 12-inch vinyl that delves deep into the label’s current deep-house direction. The record arrives with two original productions from the Danism + Train-Toshi trio, each re-imagined by respected remixers, and showcases why the release has attracted support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones and Danny Krivit.
Within SOSURE MUSIC’s recent output, More / Mabele follows a string of heavyweight collaborations: earlier this year the label issued Frankie Knuckles & Eric Kupper’s “The Director’s Cut Collection Volume Two 2x12” (SSMDCLP1V2W) and the “Pieces Of Me EP” (SSMTPEP1V). Those releases cemented the label’s reputation for deep, soulful house, and the new Danism + Train offering continues that momentum while adding an afro-centric flavour.
Side A opens with “More (Rocco Rodamaal Deep Remix)”. Rodamaal retains Toshi’s ethereal vocal line but steers the track into a darker, more driving territory, emphasizing a deep, propulsive rhythm that pushes the groove forward. The follow-up, “More (Dub)”, strips back the vocal to focus on the rhythmic foundation, offering DJs a spacious version that can be layered into longer sets. On side B, “Mabele” presents the original Danism + Train production, a warm, groove-laden composition that balances melodic hooks with a subtle swing, providing a smooth transition from the A-side material. The record closes with “Toshi – Mabele (Moplen Remix)”, where Moplen re-arranges the track, injecting fresh production elements that heighten the track’s intensity while preserving the vocal’s emotive core.
For Danism + Train, the two collaborations with Toshi extend a series that began with earlier cuts “Ndisole” and “Mabele”, reinforcing their ongoing exploration of afro-centric grooves within a deep-house framework. The presence of two distinct remixers—Rocco Rodamaal and Moplen—adds contrasting perspectives, making the release a versatile tool for DJs seeking both deep, hypnotic moments and more kinetic peaks.
In the context of SOSURE MUSIC’s catalogue, this EP underscores the label’s commitment to high-quality deep house that bridges soulful vocal work with club-ready production. It stands alongside the label’s recent Frankie Knuckles projects, offering a fresh, contemporary take on the genre’s roots while pushing the sound forward with modern remix treatment.
From a DJ’s standpoint, the record supplies multiple entry points: the Rodamaal remix works as a deep-house anchor for late-night sets, the dub provides a spacious canvas for layering, the original “Mabele” offers a melodic lift, and Moplen’s remix delivers a more energetic finish. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive sequencing and the way each side balances original material with reinterpretations, making the vinyl a practical addition to any deep-house crate.
The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the label’s recent deep-house offerings and delivering the warm analogue texture that deep-house enthusiasts prize.
