Daniel EP available on itunes, Deezer and amazon from 25 January 2016 

This time the dynamic house music culture of South Africa is reflected by the rhythms and sounds of Batuk’s debut EP, Daniel. Batuk is a creative collective founded by South African electronic music producers Aero Manyelo and Spoek Mathambo; along with the prolific artist and vocalist Manteiga. 

Two original tracks, Daniel and Reya Congo, offer a hypnotic take on tribal house, and feature the vocal talents of frequent collaborator Nandi Ndlovu. Next to the 2 original tracks, are remixes from an international cast of club luminaries including German luso music aficionado Daniel Haaksman, Angolan afrohouse duo Homeboyz Music, and Mozambican best kept secret (till now) producer/DJ Freddy Da Stupid. 

From slow-burners, to straight up peak time anthems, our favourite changes every time we hear them and we're sure you'll find your own one to treasure. Enjoy.

Call Me Naughty ft Nandi Ndlovu

“Gira” (a portuguese word meaning to change or turn around) is Batuk’s third single and music video (following the tribal house of “Daniel”, and the upbeat township house of “Call Me Naughty”).  Batuk's debut album, "Musica da Terra" will be released on May 27th 2016. 

Batuk’s latest single, is a hard hitting song of protest, calling for change. Addressing the constant war and fighting in Africa, the song is born of dance floor culture, but not of it’s typical hedonistic nature. Gira is a loud call for change from the youth of Africa. There are currently fifteen African countries involved in war, or are experiencing post-war conflict and tension. The statistics are not only shocking/frightening…the time has come for CHANGE. 

The beautiful music video was submitted to Batuk, by a fan who was touched by the song at a live show, and dug through his trove of documentaries and stock footage to create a powerful montage. 

On the EP, the Gira original version is accompanied by two stunning South African house remixes, one by the Ggom stalwarts, Rudeboyz, and another by Johannesburg legend producer/DJ Eltonnick.

The Recipe

Batuk, the globetrotting bodyrocking group from Johannesburg are back with a new 7-track EP titled Move!, an ode to the township roots that shaped them. The EP is a charged take on alternately midtempo/kwaito grooves, hi-energy beats and township funk. Manteiga’s charged flows and Mathambo’s beats will have everyone busting out their special dance moves. Following their debut album, which took a pan-African approach with the sounds and collaborations, Move! EP and their upcoming Kasi Royalty album are about proudly representing a range of vibrant South African township sounds.

Batuk has performed in Belgium, Burkina Faso, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Kenya, Mozambique, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Swaziland, Switzerland, Uganda
