Weekend Music: Spoek Mathambo

[UPDATE: Slush Puppy Kids comprises Big Space AND Spoek Mathambo.] It’s been pretty much Spoek Mathambo week, month, year here at casa forota, as the recently hitched South African DJ/singer/rapper/artist has thrown off mixtape after mixtape of tech-y South African house. This is how I am getting my fix of what someone in the twittersphere called “orgasmic” South African electronic music. In addition to showcasing some of his own work as in Slush Puppy Kids*, Playdoe, Sweat.X and Moleke Mbembe, he mixes in snippets of what is au courant in SA music. E.g. the H.I.V.I.P. Devil House Mafias 2 set below contains a good sampling from DJ Mujava’s latest album. Very cool.
