Deep House South Africa proudly presents Please Call—a powerful two-track release from The Lazarusman and Franck Valat, who join forces here not only as collaborators but as co-producers.

Known for his commanding spoken word performances and genre-defying contributions to global dance music, The Lazarusman steps into a new creative chapter with this release—bringing both his lyrical voice and production vision to the forefront. Alongside Mauritian producer Franck Valat, the pair craft a sonic experience that is meditative, urgent, and deeply rooted in storytelling.

The title track, Please Call, draws inspiration from the real-life “Please Call Me” court case still unfolding in South Africa—a legal battle over intellectual property and rightful recognition. But the track goes further, using that context as a springboard into broader reflections on absence, inequality, digital alienation, and the quiet desperation woven into everyday communication. Minimal yet emotionally charged, it’s a poetic call for presence in a disconnected world.

On Black Sun, the tone turns darker and more abstract. A hypnotic rhythm unfolds beneath Lazarusman’s stark reflections on modern identity, conformity, and the erosion of collective awareness. It’s a piece that asks difficult questions without demanding simple answers, carried by a restrained, brooding production that lingers long after the final beat.
