Various Artists - Stay True Cutz Vol. 8 [Stay True Sounds]

Some of Stay True Sounds' most celebrated hits from 2024 are gathered in Stay True Cutz Vol. 8, the eighth vinyl edition of the label's compilation series, featuring prominent sounds that defined the year.

Opening with a track that fuses deep house and neo-soul, Jimpster's remix of "Say Yes" by South African standard-bearer beatsbyhand, featuring Rona Ray on vocals, was the best-selling release of 2024 on Traxsource's Deep House chart.

It is followed by the powerful collaboration between two Afro scene leaders, China Charmeleon and Hypaphonik, with "We R 1," as well as the 3-step jazz and house piece "Can't Blame A Soul (Mana's Dub)" by master Crackazat.

Closing this selection of four tracks that capture Stay True Sounds' unique aesthetic is "SARS," another original from the mind of talented DJ and producer beatsbyhand.
