Legacy and Innovation Craig De Sousa's Unplanned Journey in House Music Evolution
Proaudio Sound Press: Craig, thank you for taking the time to chat with us. Your career in the House Music scene has been incredibly influential and dynamic. Looking back at your extensive journey, what are
Craig De Sousa: Absolutely, Heads & Tails was a venture Roger D’lux , Erefaan Pearce, and I started back in 2004. We aimed to provide a platform for releasing the abundant South African House music that wasn't getting much international exposure. Over the span of 10 years, we released 37 EPs from various artists, some of whom went on to become great success stories. Artists like Iridium Project, Kyle Watson, and Mark Stent found their wings through our label. Even after we closed the label, the catalogue remains alive and well- supported. Recently, I received an offer from France to press some of the singles to vinyl, which is quite exciting to see the continued interest. Proaudio Sound Press: Your passion for teaching DJing and music production is admirable. What inspired you to share your knowledge, and what do you find most fulfilling about mentoring aspiring artists? Craig De Sousa: Teaching was never in my initial plan, but it's evolved to become the most rewarding aspect of my career.
some of the fondest memories and experiences that stand out for you?
Craig De Sousa: It's an absolute pleasure, and thank you for having me. When I reflect on my journey, it's like a treasure trove of moments that have shaped my life. The people I've met, the places I've visited, and the experiences I've had are immeasurable. These memories, sometimes forgotten but rekindled, always bring a smile to my face. Each event, each connection, has its own significance, and it's all part of a larger journey. I am profoundly grateful for these blessings and cherish every single experience. Proaudio Sound Press: Heads & Tails Music was a significant part of your career, contributing to the House music landscape. Could you share insights into your experience as a label boss and the vision you had for the music label?
