Mac To Xic Deep, DJ DIHNO & InQfive – WHAT IT IS TO LOVE EP

South Africa’s Deep House scene continues to flourish with the release of WHAT IT IS TO LOVE, a collaborative EP that brings together the production prowess of Mac To Xic Deep, DJ DIHNO, and InQfive. This trio has crafted something special—a body of work that weaves together the soulful warmth of Deep House with the rhythmic complexity of Afro House, creating an auditory journey that speaks directly to the heart of the dancefloor and beyond.

The EP showcases the magic that happens when three distinct creative minds converge on a shared vision. Across the project, listeners are treated to lush sonic landscapes built from warm piano progressions, hypnotic basslines, and intricate percussive arrangements that nod to African rhythmic traditions. Each composition unfolds deliberately, giving space for atmospheric synths and melodic elements to breathe while maintaining the irresistible groove that keeps bodies moving. The production quality reflects the sophistication of South Africa’s electronic music community, where technical precision meets deep emotional resonance.

True to its title, WHAT IT IS TO LOVE explores the multifaceted nature of love—from vulnerability and connection to introspection and self-discovery. The producers have struck a remarkable balance, creating tracks that work equally well for intimate late-night listening sessions as they do for peak-time club moments. This versatility speaks to the maturity of their collaborative approach, resulting in a cohesive collection that highlights both individual artistry and collective chemistry.

Mac To Xic Deep, DJ DIHNO, and InQfive have delivered more than just another Deep House release—they’ve contributed a meaningful chapter to South Africa’s ever-evolving electronic music narrative, one that continues to influence and inspire the global dance music landscape.
