Visit
He shared that he would love to come back to Eswatini and play more good music for fun lovers, as his last visit was back in 2019. “I enjoy being here you know. I hope everyone knows the people who organised this event know that they can invite me anytime, I wouldn’t mind because I really enjoy myself out here,” Lulo Cafe said.
He also shared that he felt honoured to have been given an opportunity to come and play at the Deep House Conversations show. “Shadow is my guy from way back. I have been coming here a lot because of him. When he invited me to this concept, I told him that when you talk Deep House, you are talking my language, and I told him that anytime I would be there. I literally cleared up things and told him I’ll be there. It’s an honour, it’s a movement of beautiful music, and this Deep House music has been here for quite some time. It’s great that it’s being pushed in different countries around the Southern African Development Community (SADC) areas. I really enjoyed playing at this show, I’m really honoured,” Lulo Cafe said.
The DJ went on to explain that his set was inspired by the motive of always wanting to play fresh music.
“You know when you go to places that you hardly go to; you need to give people new stuff that they want to hear because they want to hear you play things that are ‘unshazamable’. But as well, you need to take them back to where you’ve been.
During my set I went from the new stuff to the classics because I belong in that era of classics, which made me who I am. I played a beautiful two hours from the new material, to what I’m feeling right now,” Lulo Cafe said.
Lulo further added that he was

When I started in the industry I was playing very chilled lounge music, that’s what got me to the industry. Eventually I want to get to a place where I will be playing ‘umculo wama grootman’, so Black Ace is literally a definition of where I was at the beginning and where I am right now.

So we going to do a lot of like beautiful chilled house lounge music, I’m still working on it, ideally I want to drop it in October” Lulo Cafe said.
