From Simnandi To Record Kollectors Series

Record L Jones’ *From Simnandi To Record Kollectors Series* is a 10-track dance album released on 1 December 2025. Its title places the project between two ideas: Simnandi, a clear point of origin, and the “Record Kollectors Series”, which suggests a carefully assembled body of work designed to be revisited and kept close.

The album’s tracklist gives that concept shape through a balance of vocal collaborations and instrumental pieces. Record L Jones is joined by Phemelo Saxer, Musical Genius and Fumane Keys on “Musical Genius”; Dekamza017 and Nhlanhla The Guitarist on “Private School Lecture”; and Djy Figo on “Healing Process”. Other featured appearances come from De Arabian Sax on “Red Carpet”, Tumza 702 on “Black Belt”, Dekamza017 again on “Groove Candy”, and Nhlanhla The Guitarist on “High Voltage”.

That range of collaborators is one of the project’s most useful entry points. Rather than presenting a single-voice album, Record L Jones builds a set around different instrumental and performance identities. Saxophone, guitar, violin and keys are all reflected in the track titles and credits, giving the release a musician-led character within its dance framework.

The instrumental tracks are particularly important to the album’s shape. “The Chilled Violin” stands apart as a concise, mood-focused title, while “Piano Heist (Piano Instrumental Mix)” foregrounds the piano. “Old Days At Simnandi (Instrumental Guitar & Piano Mix)” returns directly to the place named in the album title and pairs guitar with piano, making it feel like a central reference point in the project’s concept.

The sequencing also moves between suggestive titles and more overtly energetic ones: “Healing Process”, “Red Carpet”, “Black Belt”, “Groove Candy” and “High Voltage” each point toward a different shade of the album’s dance-oriented identity. Without overexplaining the music, the tracklist presents *From Simnandi To Record Kollectors Series* as a varied collaboration album with strong emphasis on instrumental colour.

For listeners exploring South African dance releases, this is a project worth noting for its ensemble approach and its apparent interest in musicianship as much as momentum. Record L Jones uses the album format to connect collaborative tracks with instrumental mixes, creating a collection that moves from Simnandi’s implied foundation toward a broader “Record Kollectors” statement.
