Limpopo house selector DJ Tears PLK teams up with Bones on a fresh new record titled “Like This.” The South African DJ, whose real name is Phillip Amos Manaka, keeps his release run going.
DJ Tears PLK first turned heads through radio. He served as a resident DJ on the Diaroropa Lockdown Mix show on Lesedi FM. Since then, his catalogue has grown through singles like “I’ll Make You Mine.”
The beat leans on a tight groove. Crisp hi-hats and a firm kick set the pace, while soft synth stabs colour the gaps. As a result, the record moves with plenty of bounce.
DJ Tears PLK keeps the arrangement clean and focused. He drops small changes every few bars, so the track never gets boring. That habit comes from years behind the decks.
Bones brings the feature energy on this one. The delivery sits comfortably on the beat, although the lyrics stay light and easy. Meanwhile, the song keeps a simple, feel-good message about enjoying the moment.
In the end, the record works as an easy house cut for weekend sessions. It’s tidy, it’s upbeat, and it stays out of its own way.
