Curated by Clive Bean, self-styled music extortionist and sonic tactician, the ensemble brings together East Rand-bred heavyweights; Shamrock on guitar and Reloaded on keys. Three distinct musical dialects. One improvised language.
There are no backing tracks to hide behind. No rigid arrangements. The decks become a live instrument under Bean’s command, slicing, looping, stretching rhythm in real time. Shamrock answers with liquid guitar phrases rooted in jazz sensibility but sharpened by township grit. Reloaded constructs harmonic scaffolding on keys, layering neo-soul textures over Afro-house percussion frameworks.
What emerges is a fluid traversal through Afro rhythms, jazz tonality, and house pulse, not as genre-hopping, but as seamless fusion. The transitions breathe. The tension builds organically. The drops feel earned, not engineered.
This is groove improvisation at its most fearless: live remix culture colliding with musicianship. Each shift happens “in the mix,” composed and deconstructed simultaneously before the audience’s ears. The crowd in Maseru didn’t just dance, they witnessed process, instinct, and chemistry unfolding in real time.
In a festival landscape often dominated by pre-programmed certainty, the “Clive Bean Ensemble” chose risk. And in that risk, they found transcendence, an eargasmic, jazz-leaning, Afro-infused house experience that proved live electronic music can still surprise, stretch, and speak.
Maseru got more than a set.

A merger of man, month and mood.

Rooted in his Mosotho lineage, Bean frames the project around Lweetse (September) ...,the Sesotho New Year, a time when the Southern Hemisphere tilts toward rebirth. Nimbus clouds gather. The air shifts. There’s anticipation in the atmosphere. His narration reminds us that Lweetse signals preparation: rain is imminent, life is stirring. The tape mirrors that climate; unhurried percussion, warm basslines, heliocentric arrangements that orbit around groove as if the sun itself were conducting.

Then comes Mphalane (October), his EarthBorn month, named after Liphalane, the impala whose reproductive rhythms define the season. Fertility. Continuity. Motion. In Bean’s curation, you hear that pulse in the subtle build-ups, in the textured transitions, in the way each track seems to give birth to the next. It’s less about genre and more about ecosystem.

And that’s the real flex.

Clive Bean, known in underground circles as a cultural practitioner who fuses technical precision with crate-digger instinct, doesn’t just compile sounds; he contextualizes them. This Home Cookin’ Xclusiv’23_Tape is a sonic almanac. Downtempo without lethargy. Lounge without cliché. Chillout without detachment. Every selection feels heliocentric , revolving around warmth, balance, and renewal.

For lovers of genreless music, this is a seasonal soundtrack. For the spiritually inclined, it’s a recalibration. For the groove purist, it’s evidence that restraint can be revolutionary.

Press play. Stream it. Download it. Let Lweetse rain and Mphalane multiply.

Peace. Love. Unity. Respect.
Jah guide, enlighten, bless and protect.]]>

Paradigm (as in Paradigm Shift) – a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions.

Underground Our Home_Block 29: "House Paradigms"; In my Sesotho-culture the month of August “Selemo” signifies change from old to new, a New Year to put it mildly.
This a Mixtape signifies change in its regard to the compiled tracks, the flow of the mix and track order (track progression). I believe mixtapes (irrespective of genre) are a dj’s storytelling pad/vessel/instrument and thereon the pivotal musically lucid pallet BE stimulated.
That said this tape's inception take is authentic irregardless of narration due to popular rhetoric.

This tape is purely craft-made for your ears only (the lover of genreless music), press play (on stream or download) enjoy and (if see fit) share with like mind peeps. Peace, Love, Unity and Respect!

A Home Cookin Xclusiv Special Mixtapes for 2023: “Assiduous, Chilled & Winsome Grooves” arrives not as a fleeting drop, but as a carefully plated offering, true to the ethos of his long-standing Home Cookin’ Xclusiv concept, a platform synonymous with genre-fluid expression and curated musical intimacy. Here, Bean leans into his signature sensibility: a patient, deliberate weaving of sound that privileges mood over spectacle.

This mixtape is less about peak-time urgency and more about the art of musical conversation. “Assiduous” speaks to the meticulous curation; each transition intentional, each groove selected with the discipline of a seasoned compiler who has long shaped both local and international dance compilations. “Chilled” settles into the body like late-night air in Johannesburg - unrushed, expansive, and deeply immersive. And “Winsome”? That’s the charm: the subtle pull of soul, jazz-inflected textures, and warm downtempo rhythms that don’t demand attention but earn it.

There’s a lived-in quality to this mix, echoes of Bean’s early influences in soul, hip hop, funk, and R&B ripple beneath the surface, creating a listening experience that feels both nostalgic and forward-facing. It’s the kind of set that doesn’t just soundtrack a moment; it holds it, perfect for solitary reflection, slow drives, or those in-between hours where time softens and music speaks louder than words.

In an era of algorithmic playlists and disposable drops, Clive Bean reminds us of the enduring power of the mixtape as craft. “Assiduous, Chilled & Winsome Grooves” isn’t just a selection - it’s a study in restraint, a meditation on groove, and above all, a reaffirmation that the DJ, at their best, is still a storyteller.]]>

Clive Bean presents his progressivist notion of “Homoeopathically laced Electronic” gems of House's sub-genres such as Deep-House, Jerking, Melodic-Techno, Afro-tech, Nu-disco, to name but just a few…

"This Tape holds a pivotal resonance presenting of a strictly confidential & significant innermost paradigm shift in my purpose levity. The denouement of the age of Pisces of-which, Wise-men had said to be represented by a pair of fish tied together by their tails (the era/age of "learning"). As we enter the age Aquarius, an astrological age which is marked by the precession of the vernal equinox, appropriate to spring (which in my view is the era/age of water meaning rebirth or being the YOU the universe placed you on earth to be). Is it not then necessary and worthy of noting that the age Aquarius, would usher in everlasting worldwide peace and harmony, proclamatory by many who be spiritually in-tuned" - Clive Bean.]]>

“Underground Our Home” Clive Bean’s archival mixtape series returns with its 26th offering “Block 26”. 270 Motsamai Str_Cuba Section, his Hometown (Vosloorus) address;
"Accession_270 Motsamai Str_Cuba Section" seemed fitting as the title of the mix, especially because it marks a pivotal memento - his return to his hood after a 26 years hiatus and recorded Live from Cherry Groove Studios (Viwe The Don’s Home studio in Cuba Section_Vosloorus).

This particular mix is an amalgamation of Afro-Deep-Tech delights produced both locally and globally. That said my Dear Ladies & Glentlebrutes sit back, light-up some lala (Mary Jane) and glide into the groove offered immaculately by Clive Bean.
