‘The song is a story of a young revolutionary who becomes a corrupt fatcat after ‘the big victory’, a common South African story. For the video, Spoek ditched the spacey costumes and lights and went into inner-city Johannesburg, to shoot a grimy ghetto story in a grimey ghetto way, complete with barbershop skankin’, Congolese fishmarket parlaying and a dance competition in the park with the kids!!’

THE END OF SUMMER
Post date Wed 18 Aug 2010 9:37 AM
SUMMER IS ALMOST DONE. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, BUT FOR ME IT WILL END THE DAY I LEAVE GNUCCI TO HER DEVICES. THAT AY IS TOMOROW. THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN TRULY EPIC. MY FAVOURITE EVER. FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
1. I HAD A TOUR MY COMPIS, MY BESTSIS...GNUCCCI...WE PLAYED ABOUT 10 SHOWS IN TOTAL AND SHOT A CRAZY MUSIC VIDEO FOR OUR NEXT SINGLE, 'HUSH'.
WE PLAYED LULEÅ, GOTHENBURG TWICE, STOCKHOLM, COPENHAGEN, MUNICH, MALMÖ, OSLO...OOOH LA LA!

WE SHOULD BANG TONIGHT - ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD FEATURING SPOEK MATHAMBO
Post date Wed 18 Aug 2010 9:00 AM
I GUESS THIS SLAB OF HOUSE HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE COMING...I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT OUT ON DEADFISH AND REMIXED BY THE LIKES OF SOLO AND MOWGLI...I ALSO GOT A DJ GUY BOOTY VERSION SNEAKING ABOUT, I WONDER IF I CAN GIVE THAT OUT.
ON HIS BLOG, LUCAS HUNTER (1/2 OF THE ZOMBIE PAIR) SAID:
It was only right, after being in the same circles as one Mr. Mathambo/Mokgata....we finally hooked it up and made this Chicago-esq track. Remixes come from Solo and Mowgli, both adding a more tech, ratatatat sound to the original. Hope you like!

GOD HATES BIEBER
Post date Wed 18 Aug 2010 8:32 AM
SINCE I HEARD THE BIEBERACHI SCREWED DOWN ON THIS, I CAN'T SHAKE THE FEELING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING DARK/EVIL AND SO WORTHWHILE BEHIND THE BOYISH CHARM AND FLUTTERY INNOCENCE. I WANT HIM TO BE A SCUMBAG JUST LIKE ME. ALAS, SOMEONE HAS SLOWED DOWN HIS VOICE 800% AND INSTEAD MAGNIFIED THE INTENSITY OF HIS PURITY, GRACE AND ANGELIC POISE.
Florida artist known as Shamantis drops him into a black hole, slowing the process down by 800% with fairly dramatic results. Kind of sounds like Boards of Canada. Sorry, Boards of Canada fans! Compare with Bieber’s original after the jump.

ACTRESS' NEW ALBUM
Post date Tue 17 Aug 2010 11:37 AM
Werk Discs label head Darren Cunningham (a.k.a. Actress)
MALMÖ IS WET WET WET.
IT LOOKS LIKE MY US TOUR IS CANCELLED.
TODAY I ATE POPCORN AND CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST AND WASHED IT DOWN WITH SOME PUKE.
BUT I WILL NOT DISPAIR, I WILL SPEND MY MORNING AS I HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST WEEK, LISTENING TO ACTRESS' NEW ALBUM SPLAZSH. AND INSTEAD OF HOPING FOR THIS LONELINESS AND SADNESS TO LEAVE ME I WILL HOLD IT CLOSE AND IT WILL MAKE ME WARM THROUGH THIS WET DAY.
ACTRESS' ALBUM IS DEFIANTELY ONE OF THE FINEST THINGS TO COME OUT OF 2010. FANCY AND FINE.
Actress – Senorita – Splazsh
Today’s other very strong candidate for album of the year comes from Actress, the album is called Splazsh, and I’d be inclined to say the same genre-defying description applies to it, were it not for the fact that Darren himself has chosen a term for his sound, “R&B Concréte.” Mixing shards of R&B with an attention to engineering detail a la musique conréte, the terms UK garage and two step are hardly fitting for music that successfully conveys a sense of artistry that has become largely devoid in today’s sub-obsessed sphere of dubstep influence (I bring dubstep into this because I’ve seen Actress and Loefah share the marquee at Dub War, playing one after the other), too concerned with the worthy cause of blasting bass to imbue their songs with the feel like listeners are experiencing fine art.
Experimental electronic producer Actress joins Gilles in the studio to talk about the latest album ‘Splazsh’, his early musical influences and forthcoming projects, as well as playing a bunch of killer tunes.
