Whereas the rational behind Best-of-Mixtapes is to select the best tracks from a certain past, South African music futurist Spoek Mathambo turns the game around and picks music which may dominate South Africa’s music in the future. ‘The Future Sound of Mzansi‘ Mixtapes 1 and 2 are musical prophesies that you can put into your digital music shelves, just next to all version of the Africa-In-Your-Earbuds-Mixtape-Series and Africa21 Mixtapes.
When he compiled the two mixtapes, even Spoek Mathambo got surprised by the diversity and creativity of South Africa’s new producer generation: “Crazy wave of producers coming from all parts of SA … most of them I’d never heard until last week. Good times.“
While the Mixtape Vol. 1 focuses on electronic and house music with artists like Oskido, BIG FKN GUN, Card On Spokes , John Wizards, Vol. 2 conatains a mix of Afro Rock, Soul, Funk, Indie & Electronica and includes songs by Petite Noir, The Brother Moves On, Vukazithathe and many others (Tracklist below).
