WATCH: World-class music producer loves the Vale
Having lived in Edenvale for most of his time in Gauteng he said he loves the Vale because it is quiet, safe and has a close-knit community feel.
Greenstone’s world-class producer specialising in afro-electronica Mpho Pholo (39), well known as 37mph, shared how he became an award-winning music maestro, on June 15.

Mpho was chosen to produce the two songs on the soundtrack for the movie Tsotsi, in France. He said he had been working with Bongani Fassie, Ishmael, Da L.E.S, Crazy Lu and their label manager on creating a new sound which later became the sound for the group Jozi.
“The outcome of this musical experiment ended up with a song titled Tsotsi, which ended up on the official soundtrack for the movie.
My label manager at the time asked me to submit a song I had written titled All in the name of fun, which also earned a place on the film’s soundtrack,” said the producer.

Having lived in Edenvale for most of his time in Gauteng he said he loves the Vale because it is quiet, safe and has a close-knit community feel.
“I’ve visited other neighbourhoods, especially in the northern suburbs but they seem to lack the balance of ‘far enough but close to the action’.
“The Edenglen and Greenstone area seem too far for random visitors but yet a quick 20 minutes from Sandton church and other activities. I also enjoy that there is a huge running community, and the outdoor sports scene seems safe here.”
