my mate tells me this was a huge tune for kwaito artists to spit on.. but slowed down alot, obviously

 

[pattycakes_]

That's well shite. It's an african tune nobody can readily get a hold of. Just fucking fire it up, what's the point?

looks like this is set to change

boom

 

[routes]

YEAH! i just trashed my wornout ole mp3...

 

[pattycakes_]

do you have a better mp3 than the one ripped from youtube?

 

[routes]

a

not sure tbh... it started and ended like it was ripped from somewhere ... i did have a moment when i wondered if i'd miss the nasty sound of it... yknow.. youtube/myspace compression is the new vinyl crackle and all that!

 

[pattycakes_]

yeah you might have a point there

the demo of the full version here

definitely sounds cleaner. and somehow not so fat. the youtube one is ripped from tv so there will be broadcast compression too.

hmmm!

 

[hopper]

yeah, funny about the compression thing - loses a bit of its weightiness in a way. still going to be really glad to have a copy of it

Here's a full length vinyl rip of Casablanca

the second tune in this video 'touch' is straight FIYA

check out 'dj killer' from pretoria, part of the sheer music thing (mujava etc), pretty-much everything i've heard by him is amazing. was just searching for any more stuff by him and saw that he was killed in 2009, fucking shame. rip.

yeah that heavyweight tune really stood out for me, with the pitchbent guitar sample...

also dj storm sounded quite good, more electro-ish with the synths, i think on of the tracks is basically a remix of armand van helden dizzy rascal "bonkers"....

 

[routes]

too good.

 

[baboon2004]

Dunno if this ever got posted last year....it's doing it for me, anyway.

Edit: The first track, Manyora - A Ke Kwisisi, is just absurdly good. How anyone could not go crazy for this is beyond me, and yet - where the hell can I buy it? Kwaito - still the most exciting music in the world, clearly.

That Dj Killer track is insane too....please, someone, point me towards more kwaito mixes!

20 min mix showcasing 10 unreleased tracks by DJ Spoko.. Check it!!

Don't know if any of you guys have come across Spoko before- he's been active in the Pretoria House scene for a few years now. He hasn't had that much international exposure but he mentored and worked with Mujava helping him make (the now infamous..) Township Funk.

Spoko describes his current sound as 'bacardi house'- in my mind though.. this is proof that he owns the 'township' sound.

Be really interested to see what you guys make of this..
