Most recently, Spoek Mathambo has finished recording his solo album, Mshini Wam for BBE, and has built a live band (which includes two dancers) in order to tour the project. The release of this project is particularly exciting as a sign to the world of what Africa has in store in terms of progressive electronic music.

The bulk of the songs on the album were recorded and produced at the Red Bull Studio in Cape Town and although it will only be available as of September through the prolific label BBE, the single for album, Mshini Wam b/w Gwababa (Don’t Be Scared)”, is available for purchase on various online channels. Featuring remixes by Schlachthofbronx, DJ Mpula (Batida), Subtitle, Krazy Fiesta, DJ Rashad, Marvy Da Pimp, BBQ, Canblaster and Bara Bröst, it’s a heavy duty release which covers every concievable corner of the electronic music spectrum.

To get an idea of the heavier sounds of album take a listen and download to the track Germs (H.V.I.P.). Otherwise check out the digital release for the single here: Spoek Mathambo - Mshini Wam b/w Gwababa (Don’t Be Scared).

However, since it was a limited run it was inevitable that not everyone who wanted a copy got one, but now thanks in part to the awesome power of the Internet and JI’s genorosity , it is available for free and completely legal. Grab it below and enjoy.

It’s always great to get a new artist on the site, especially when it’s someone from a band you have always liked! Myrid Ambre is Stephen Timm from The Buckfever Underground, and although really different (this time it’s ambient electronica) it’s still pretty awesome!

Grab a sample track below and read more about Myrid Ambre here!

Stephen has told me that the first person to guess who is doing the main vocals on the track will get a FREE copy of his album. So anybody, everybody, anywhere in the world… leave a comment below with your guess (when you leave the comment you have to leave an email address – we will contact you on that!) and if you are the first person to guess correctly, a free CD is yours!

If you are in Cape Town on Wednesday 28 October, go on down to Mabu Vinyl (2 Rheede Street, Gardens, Cape Town) and watch Myrid Ambre perform live! It starts at 6PM and there will be free stuff!
