Put an afro baile spin on one of my favourite tracks 🖤

Multiply Dub (Tye Turner Edit)

Titre concept autour du « refresh » permanent. Les paroles mettent en scène la dopamine des notifs et la fatigue d’être joignable 24/7. Le style minimal et glitch (sons de « ding », whoosh, granulaire) reflète l’esthétique des interfaces qui interrompent la pensée. Tempo club mais retenu pour conserver la mélancolie. Écrit, composé et produit par Wouaakee.

Mise À Jour

Release Details:
Title: Gqom Oh! X Crudo Mixtape
Catalogue Number: GQOM 003
Label: Gqom Oh!
Format: Tape/Digital
Release Date: 25 July 2016


The word Crudo [ˈkruːdo] in Italian translates as “raw” and this is the overarching concept around the latest Gqom Oh! Release. 

It is set to be in collaboration with Crudo Volta - a young Rome-based collective who focused on visual curation and dj culture. The mixtape is the soundtrack of the Woza Taxi documentary. Making the documentary in April 2016 - whilst visiting his artists and their families in Durban - label boss Nan Kolè painstakingly narrowed down this selection of tracks for the release. The trip lent a tremendous amount of in-sight to Nan Kolè, granting him both a detailed and broad view of the Gqom scene and what Gqom means to the youth of the township (for they consist the core music makers and listeners of Gqom).

Their unique sound, which took Europe by storm at the start of 2016, is a way for the youth in the township to express themselves - something that music does the world over - but moreover enables them to express their pride and experiences in their Zulu culture and history. Mawbestana from Forgotten Souls gave some insight into how the music was made. He said in the documentary “…Everyone thinks we have a mega studio with huge speakers but we are just ‘Hlanganisa’..” Hlanganisa is a zulu word literally translated as 'putting together'; This refers to creating something out of the few elements available to you “…Just like when you scrap the bottom of a pan to get some food out of it..” cited Mawbestana. 

The release features 14 tracks showcasing different and new music from Durban  - spanning Core Tribe through Sgubhu to Gqom. The 90 minute tape will consist of two sides, with Side A containing seven tracks and Side B containing a continuous mix and a digital download code granting access to the entire compilation. 

The tape will be release in ‘package’ format designed by Crudo Volta alongside a photography book with the best pictures from the trip to Durban by Tommaso Cas-sinis, a limited edition t-shirt and access to an online premiere of the documentary.

We're turning things up for the sixth instalment of the Shakara Mix Series. We've got our good friend Plantainchipps aka @neekstunes providing you with the motivation to get you through to the end of the week.

Plantainchipps has been a favourite of ours for a while now, the way she shifts through genres with so much ease and grace you can't help but dance. Her affection for Afrobeat taking centre stage in this mix as she touches on her many other influences like House, R&B, Ballroom and Baile Funk.
