Da Gifto - Grateful Ep Vol. 2 ((new))

The release of Grateful EP Vol. 2 cemented Da Gifto's reputation as a reliable album-format producer rather than someone who just drops transient TikTok singles. The maturity displayed on this project laid down the foundation for his follow-up successes, including his highly praised (2024), his collaborative masterclass The Weight Of Silence (2025) alongside Sboniso L Musician, and his ongoing collaborative singles with Artwork Sounds and CocoSA .

Tracks like Sul'inyembezi with Bikie and Good For You with Angelica on Amazon Music capture the essence of classic soulful house. The vocals are silky, well-layered, and deal with themes of love, struggle, and perseverance.

: Tracks like "Who Stole My Sax" highlight the organic, jazzy elements that differentiate Da Gifto's sound from more digital-heavy deep house.

A shift toward a jazz-laden lounge aesthetic, this track leans into the "Private School Amapiano" domain. Gundo Sax commands the spotlight, delivering cascading saxophone improvisations that dance over a warm, rolling baseline. The synergy between Da Gifto's percussive programming and the live horn sections creates an infectious groove. 3. Pixels (feat. Mr Groove SA)

This is the emotional core of the record. Built around a looping, whispered affirmation (“I am open to receive”), the track slowly builds with a filter-disco bassline. It’s hypnotic without being boring. The breakdown, featuring a plucked harp melody, is genuinely moving. This is the song you listen to while watching the sun rise after a long night.
