One of the top producers of the era, John Galanakis launched the careers of some of bubblegum’s biggest names, including Dan Nkosi, Zizi Kongo and Benjamin Ball. An accomplished musician in his own right (with Banjo and others), in 1990 Galanakis released this solo studio project of instrumental synth jams. Dedicated to the plight of the homeless and poor in South Africa, the song titles pay homage to some of the country’s famous townships: Khayelitsha, Kliptown, Crossroads, Orange Farm and Mshenguville, while others refer more generally to the township experience, such as ‘Jimmy’s Shack’ and 'Zozo in the City’. 
"Though some of the tracks had very few lyrics, it had heavy political undertones. AYB's other hits include 'Ntate Modise', a track that almost became the unofficial national anthem before 'Nkosi Sikelel'iAfrika'. This due to its prominence as a signature tune when the nation was waiting with bated breath on 11 February 1990 as the gates of Victor Verster Prison (now Drakenstein Prison) were thrown wide open for Dr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela to walk free… The freedom songs challenged the status quo and agitated for a spy transformation" (Mojapelo, 2008:34).
Fresh instrumental fusion of programmed beats, synths and sax jive sounds, with titles like 'Party Time' and 'Lets All Dance'. According to the duo, "We would like to thank those who encouraged us, especially Christinah K. Bogopane who spent a lot of time with us, and to thank Mr Santos James Ramatlhape. We won't forget our parents Mr and Mrs Ramatlhape and Mr and Mrs Pilane for praying and wishing us the best. The best of everything not forgetting our creator, the Lord Almighty God."
An influential figure on the rock scene since the late 60s, Laxton played guitar in seminal bands like Freedom's Children and Hawk, produced acts like Suck, Rabbit, Otis Waygood, Mango Groove and Margaret Singana, fronted his own Julian Laxton Band, and subsequently made a name for himself in the world of TV and radio advertising jingles and film scores (more here). His considerable clout no doubt led to his being able to remix one of his co-productions, The Sunshine Singers, and re-release under his own name as an instrumental album, the end result giving stalwarts like Rex Rabanye and Black Moses a run for their money.
