Playing with the idea of an unsolved murder case, in Assassinato Samito engineers a minimalist poem to put forth a social commentary. Relying heavily on epistrophe and repetition to emphasize the feeling of urgency ever-present in the synth’s ostinato, there's a kind of transcendent alchemy between the vocals and the music, translated into a thick, organic Amapiano inspired track, with just enough tension to keep the listener hooked.

ASSASSINATO 

Kala la-la-la (4x)

O soberano não queria assassinar
O subalterno não queria assassinar
O governante não queria assassinar
O vigilante não queria assassinar

Mas deu o p'ra rararararararararara
Deu o p'ra rararararararararara
Mas deu o p'ra rararararararararara
Deu o p'ra rararararararararara

(Chorus)
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la

O magistrado não queria assassinar
O acusado não queria assassinar
O tributário não queria assassina
O onerado não queria assassinar
O reverendo não queria assassinar
O curandeiro não queria assassinar
O operário não queria assassinar
O viagrista não queria assassinar

Mas deu o p'ra rararararararararara
Deu o p'ra rararararararararara
Mas deu o p'ra rararararararararara
Deu o p'ra rararararararararara

(Chorus)
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la
Kalashnikov, kala la-la-la

Kala la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la “osu” (4x)

How Will It Be for Me in This World?

Despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic, Rubi Du (FKA as Silva MC) has been keeping focused and working diligently through these difficult times to keep her flow on, making fresh tunes with her talented peer-group, and looking forward to being able to perform live once more.

Now this empress of heavy basslines and melodic vocals blesses us with a smoking hot new track called ‘BACK UP’.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by up-coming prodigy IceyGhosts (Van Zyl Wagner), the two paired up to deliver a fresh, smokey banger about always having ‘Back Up’ – “something a lot of us have had to learn the hard way in recent years”, says Rubi. “We've all had a moment or two where we didn’t have any back up, and this is just a reminder to back up your back up!”

The riddim heavy, bouncy dancehall / hip hop tune is a testament to Rubi Du’s versatility and exuberant style which invokes her Caribbean heritage and Rastafarian upbringing.

“Icey is really good at producing beats that bring out the best flow in me. When I first heard the riddim, I texted him straight away telling him not to show it to anyone else because I love it so much hahaha”, says Rubi.

Working with IceyGhosts was a fun, fast and easy collab experience for Rubi Du, saying “We have such good studio chemistry it only took us a couple of house to record the track, and we both knew then and there we had to share it. I’m really happy with the result.”

Renowned for her sultry vocal, infectious delivery and electrifying live performances, Rubi’s unique and unforgettable style of South Pacific reggae, drum n bass and hip-hop flavours ensures Rubi Du’s sovereignty over the New Zealand dancehall scene reigns supreme.

Following the release of "Zaka Zaka" and “Monate Ke Monate”, please welcome From Thutlwane to the World, Toxicated Keys’ debut album.  

If you haven’t yet heard the sound of South-African “Rough Amapiano”, today’s greatest new dance genre, be ready: this LP is a spectacular nine-track showcase of what makes this new trend of Amapiano so vital and exciting. 

Toxicated Keys are two very young producers (18 and 19) from the township of Mamelodi East, in Pretoria, one of South Africa’s biggest cities. They work on FL Studio and received academic training in a music school. These last years, they’ve been building a new style of Amapiano, mostly focused on freaky drum programming and the fascinating sound of the “clunk bass” preset they use heavily.

The two musicians kept some of the basic principles of classic Amapiano : mid-tempo BPMs, syncopated beats and energetic, party-oriented vocals. But they stripped out the warmth and sweetness of the original version and made room for robotic vibes and an eerie feel of never-ending pressure.

This album is clearly not your average electronic/dance album from 2022 : you won’t hear any ambient, lo-fi, deconstructed or downtempo tracks, nor find spoken-word segments or real instruments playing. There’s no manifest interest in trying to explore unexpected genres and repertoires.You probably won’t find the production luxuriously detailed or rich with nuance and depth : this is 100% straight-up dance music made by two teens, physical and functional. But these nine tracks are radically experimental though, thanks to their sheer freshness and boldness.

This is bold and experimental because the cult of clunk bass, log drums and off-beat percussion is a very serious thing here : all the tracks begin with low-key intros that slowly get the floor ready for the moment where the clunk drops. And when it drops, it’s like hearing a robot dancing, humming and building something at the same time. Something from another world lands on the dancefloor, speaking a new language.

Singers and rappers come along, sometimes with full lyrics, but also just to hype up the place, using voices as percussive instruments over the obsessive rhythm section. This is futuristic music made with a very matter-of-fact attitude, verging on aural abstraction while staying fun and popular. And we bet you won’t hear better dance tunes this year.

Style-wise, the tracks navigate from deep house to pure mental techno and crypto-soulful vibes, from Ibiza-ish big room anthems to echoes of older South-African genres. But all these influences are never standing on their own : they always fuse and blend into the Rough Amapiano groove. This is almost like a musical monster, eating and digesting every external reference to remodel it in its very own machine.

So please, before everyone plays it, do pay attention to the world’s most thrilling music right now, and move your body and soul to the sound of Toxicated Keys.
