Texx and the City editor Tecla Ciolfi guest-curated the Cape Town edition of our #YoungSouthAfrica playlist series. Here, in her own words, is a bit about the songs she chose and why: 

"Like the last few bodies at The Shack on a Sunday morning, Cape Town’s a little bit desperate at the moment. Desperate to find the next big thing. The next Beatenberg, the next Matty Mole. The next Zula Bar, the next Purple Turtle. 

It’s all a bit depressing really.

Because with this entire obsession over the next wave of musical celebrity and where we’re going to find it, we’ve been neglecting the independent goodness that’s right in front of our noses. 

And it’s the sexiest, moodiest and most encouraging new wave of talent I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing over the past few months. Indie shoegazers, Sakawa Boys, stand at the forefront of the wave with the recent release of EP “V” but they’re flanked by everything from surf psych rockers to electronic sorcery to cutesy indie you’ll probably make out to. 

Deep breath. Big sip. Long drag. Press play."
