Here's Miči's bio if you want to read more: Zimbabwean-born, London-bred artist Miči is an Afrohouse vocalist, songwriter, and producer. Drawing inspiration from jazz, neo-soul, gospel, indie, and folk music, her sound blends emotional songwriting with Afro-electronic and house influences.

Miči’s musical journey began in church, where she first discovered her voice, later learning guitar and piano during her teenage years in London. Her approach to music is deeply intuitive: she often visualises full arrangements before they are created.

Her work gained notable recognition on the South African house scene in 2021 through collaborations with prominent artists including Lemon & Herb, TekniQ, Kid Fonque, China Charmeleon, and Sun-El Musician. These collaborations helped establish her as a distinctive voice within the contemporary Afrohouse landscape.

In 2024, Miči released the collaborative album 'feelings' with the Kenyan label Gondwana, featuring contributions from leading South African Afrohouse producers and artists. The project further expanded her international network and positioned her within a growing transnational Afro-electronic community.

Miči’s artistic journey has taken her across the Netherlands, Kenya, and South Africa, where she has engaged with diverse creative scenes and built cross-cultural collaborations. Beyond performance, Miči also composes and co-produces her music and is currently working toward a new body of work that reflects her evolving artistic voice.

Daring Deeply turned 1. Thank you so much for the support over this past year. In this show, I went B2B with the wonderful DJ Bafokeng Khoali.

Went B2B with DJ Jesse Judah for this weeks Daring Deeply show, and it was brilliant! Thank you for tuning in as always. Asanda xx

It's been slow and low period of life for me - recognising this is also part of the journey and feeling blessed. 2 hours of Daring Deeply? Just what the doctor ordered! Thank you everyone. With love, Asanda xx

Had the pleasure of going B2B with my lovely DJ friend Low-Key, who's been setting decks on fire for the past year. Low-Key was an early guest last year and I found it so fun to play alongside her this time as we have such similar taste. Thanks for listening. Love xx

I was joined by a wonderful DJ friend Krys.tn for a B2B on the Daring Deeply show yesterday. Thank you so much for tuning in x

Tuning in from London for a solo show for this weeks episode. I had a big evening the night before at Abantu, playing my first set back after my 3 months in South Africa. It was super beautiful. I loved playing for 2 hours for this episode and I hope you enjoy. Love, Asanda London xx

2 hours went by faster than I thought. I loved recording this episode. Enjoy!

Asked my lovely DJ friend Timon to come and do a B2B with me, and share why deep house means so much to them. Enjoy x

As you know I came back from South Africa a week ago after three months out there. Whilst I was across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban, I learned more about the deep house scene and got to meet the greats.

It was on this trip that I learned about House Victimz, the duo that Poizen was originally part of. Going through the House Victimz discography has been nothing short of an education for me, as someone who hasn't grown up around the SA House Scene and is relatively new to it. In Durban when Poizen played at House Warming Sessions in July, I was front row with my new dancefloor friends soaking in the atmosphere and energy - that king of bassline title made so much sense to me.

Afterwards we spent the rest of the evening together with producer friends at the second location. I got to see how much charisma, humour and kindness he exuded, and it felt like I was laughing for hours.

Then, at Chymamusiques listening party in Centurion, 26th July, Poizen played another beautiful set before I got on the decks for my B2B with Jukes.

There's not a single song Poizen has touched where you can't hear his production and signature sound.

Hearing about the fatal car crash on Saturday left me and the whole deep house community heartbroken and shocked. Poizen was 35 years old, with an enormous catalogue and the latest project Ngiphe (released 8th Aug) has been widely received and praised. It is so beautiful. Every time I was on the roads across South Africa felt like an extreme sport, especially on weekends and especially on the last weekend of the month.

Even in an uber, even driving with friends. Loss of life due to recklessness is far too common, and when it has impacts our music scene we are of course more devastated because we love and admire these producers for their immeasurable contribution to the culture. The overall heartbreak is the higher risk as artists on the move to and from gigs that feels so high risk.

I am keeping Poizen's family, the 4 others who passed on and Chymamusique who's in ICU in my prayers. Playing their music with deep house comrades on the Live session felt like we were grieving and holding space together. It's a crucial time in our community and sitting with that grief together is so so important.

Chymamusique has been a steady thread of support to me through the whole trip. I went B2B with him in Katlegong and he invited me to play his listening session, moving the lineup around to make space for me. He's just 35 years old and behaved like a professional elder gent with so much expertise, compassion and encouragement. His famous words to me 'Keep pushing until people know your craft' have lit a fire in my music journey that I'll always owe to him. I trust he'll pull through and continue to bless us with more of his catalogue, after the incredibly successful Musique Collaborated Part 1 album just dropped on the 21st of Aug, with Part 2 releasing in October. Let's be there for each other during this utterly devastating time and stay hopeful. With love, Asanda
