Track Listing:Some of Stay True Sounds most celebrated hits of 2024 assemble on Stay True Cutz Vol. 8, the eighth vinyl edition of the label’s compilation series featuring standout sonics that defined a year. Opening with a record that fuses deep house and neo-soul, Jimpster’s remix of Say Yes by SA torchbearer Beatsbyhand, featuring Rona Ray on vocal duty, was the bestselling release of 2024 on the Traxsource Deep House chart.

What follows is the compelling collaboration from two leaders of the Afro scene, China Charmeleon and Hypaphonik with We R 1 - plus jazz and house maestro Crackazat’s 3-step release Can’t Blame A Soul (Mana’s Dub). Closing out this curation of four tracks that capture Stay True Sounds’ unique aesthetic is SARS, an original also from the mind of talented DJ and producer Beatsbyhand.
