A Personal Story Rooted in Vinyl
South African producer and artist Loxion Deep draws inspiration from his father’s vinyl collection on My Father’s Records, an album exploring family history, musical inheritance and the healing power of sound.
The project opens a personal chapter for the Amapiano artist, connecting the music he grew up around with the sound he has developed through his own creative journey.
Where Amapiano Meets Jazz and Deep House
Blending soulful Amapiano with jazz and deep house influences, My Father’s Records places Loxion Deep’s musical roots at the centre of its direction.
Those influences provide a foundation for an album that balances reflection with rhythm. The project looks back at the sounds that shaped him while exploring how they continue to inform his work as a producer and artist.
Through this meeting of styles, Loxion Deep connects two generations of musical expression, bringing the spirit of his father’s records into his contemporary Amapiano sound.
‘Amapholas (Soweto Vibe)’ Brings the Story Home
At the centre of the album is focus track “Amapholas (Soweto Vibe)”, which grounds the project’s themes in township experience.
Its title and musical direction connect the wider family narrative to a sense of place, carrying the warmth, soul and rhythmic depth that define the album’s creative approach.
The track serves as a focal point for a project concerned with both personal memory and the environments that give those memories meaning.
Music as Memory and Healing
My Father’s Records is built around the idea that music can carry memories across generations. A parent’s record collection becomes more than a source of inspiration: it represents a connection to family, identity and the sounds of childhood.
Healing is another central theme, with Loxion Deep using the album to reflect on where he comes from and carry those influences into his next creative chapter.
