Since all eyes are locked in at South Africa nowadays, we wanted to present some of the great club-music South Africa ( and Africa in general) has to offer at the moment!
DJ Zhao has compiled an incredible mixtape of African and African-inspired dance music called “Ukulwa”. ““Ukulwa” translates to “war” in Zulu, and rather than divorcing diverse sounds such as kwaito and kuduro from their political context, he weaves the tape together with samples of people praising Mandela and giving empowering paeans to freedom, ensuring that even as we dance, we remember what we’re celebrating. In Zhao’s own words: “South Africa is surely rising as a proud modern nation, even as we rejoice in these blissful rhythms, we must remember this war, and both continue, and continue to be inspired by, this struggle against domination, against injustice.””
Also throwing in a mix featuring more South African Kwaito music, by Moroka (the newest member of The Secousse Sound System from London). This mix contains older and newer Kwaito and it’s a good one! (Perfect soundtrack for the World Cup)
The purple w0w sound is now a global phenomenon – with Joker, Guido and Gemmy (aka ‘The Purple Trinity’) on the cusp of becoming household names, Earwax is proud to present this enormous release from man like Gemmy.
