Happy Chinese New Year! They say that if you eat fish on CNY, it will bring luck and fortune for the coming year. Well, let's hope. 

2016 was a terrible year for me personally. I had problems with my health, work, family, and relationships. An outlet for me to escape these problems was to make music. 

I only began learning Ableton Live a year ago, and became more involved with it last year in August when I purchased the Push 2. It's been a steep learning curve and I'm still learning every time I start a new project. But I love it. 

This year, I want to concentrate more on what I love and let go of all the negativity from 2016. 

2016, fuck you.

fish for fortune

A song of longing for love lost and love to come, blending zulu folk and soul, 'I Found You' perfectly encapsulates something Spoek Mathambo's been looking for for a long time, a new paradigm to present South African sounds. Written in collaboration with Johannesburg based electronic-soul duo Kajama and Spoek's Fantasma band, 'I Found You' is from Spoek Mathambo's forthcoming album 'Mzansi Beat Code', out on 14th April 2017.

Available on all digital platforms (iTunes/Deezer/Spotify/Amazon etc)

After a successful 2017 which saw them release the debut EP, tour Poland with the climax reached at the renowned Unsound Festival and perform for the first time abroad in December, Polish-Angolan duo Lua Preta (Mentalcut + Supa Gia G) are back with a double single to kick off a new year! 

First up is 'Quero Mais' which brings a direct connection to Africa with the presence of another long-time Basy Tropikalne favourite - Morena Leraba from Lesotho. One of the continent's most distinctive voices famously appeared on Spoek Mathambo's album last year, also published a bunch of singles (including a collaboration with DJ Spoko) and now contributes his energetic verses to the track. The single marks also the first time we hear Supa Gia G in her full glory on rapping duties as she light-heartedly tells the story about her weekend preparations and plans. 

On the virtual flip-side there's gqom-inspired 'Somnilokwie' which already gained attention from the main man Branko himself who premiered it in his NTS Radio show. This instrumental beauty is another proof of Mentalcut's abilities to reinterpret African inspirations and current trends and take them to the next level with his modern electronic music additions.

Neon Grave

Taken from the album "Time Keepers" by Joburg´s collective Shadow Republik. 

Shadow Republik is a creative collective moniker of artist, singer songwriter & producer Rocksteady. The whole concept was based on the idea of having a group of activists from all over Africa uniting and creating a new sonic interpretation of our age, time and space. Shadow Republik is an idea of a creative collective existing in the shadows almost like a anonymously band or should we say the face-less band, the band that's a myth, sort of juxtaposing creative concepts and fusing music and art, beautifying spaces and occupying minds with the right ideas to overcome everyday challenges.
