DJ COSHER RELEASES NEW RENDITION OF HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN' After a hugely successful 2022, DJ Cosher is taking the new year by storm.
Fans loved his singles Sound of Silence and Love Is All We Need, and now he's back with a brand new rendition of House of the Rising Sun, which features Idols SA winner Berry.

Mostly known for his dance cover reworks, DJ Cosher selected House of the Rising Sun a few years ago and began production even before his 2022 hit Sound of Silence.
It's one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar as a child and performed it many times as a young musician, DJ Cosher says.
This specific project has been through many vocalists as I searched for the perfect voice and suitable featuring artist. After meeting Berry and trying her out on the vocals, I found what I was looking for. The song not only requires a specific feel and delivery but also a vast vocal range and performance, which Berry got spot on, he continues.

In his media statement for the release of the track, the DJ explains that as the original author of House of the Rising Sun is unknown, it allowed him to put his own arrangement twist on this public domain folk song.
There is, of course, a well-known version done by The Animals,' but I hope people enjoy my new take on this great song, he says.
THE POWER DUO BEHIND THE HIT The Cape Town-based DJ, Producer, and owner of Cosher Recording Studios first rose to fame with his dance cover reworks of iconic songs such as Dancing in the Moonlight, Special Star, Kiss me, and Zombie.
His most recent Sound of Silence featuring Liam Burger saw incredible local and worldwide success on Spotify (with over 730,000 streams) and Apple music charts. He also reached Number 1 on the KFM Top 40 for nine consecutive weeks.
DJ Cosher has enjoyed similar success with his original music releases, such as Just Come Home, Sail away, Love this feeling, Clutch, and many others.
Most recently, he and Jimmy Nevis had success with the original track Love is all we need, which, at its peak, was one of the TOP 4 most-played local tracks on South African radio.
Cape Town-based Berry spent almost five years trying to break into the mainstream music market when she finally realized that 2021 was her last year to enter Idols South Africa due to the cut-off age.

She sent in her audition tape, and the rest is Idols SA history.
After winning Idols, Berry was signed to the record label Kalawa Jazmee and released her debut single, Ungowami, a mid-tempo ballad which showcases her versatility in vernac. Berry also then released her EP, Unspoken Words, which consisted of six tracks, with three of them written and produced by her husband.
