Emerging South African electro producer Muzi drops 'Nizogcwala'
Other | Thursday 9th July 2015 | Annalisa
Widely acknowledged as the hottest young DJ/producer emerging from the South African electronic music scene, Muzi presents his first official release, ‘Nizogcwala’. Available now as a free download through label imprint WE.THE.BUNDU, which references the wilds of South Africa where Muzi was born, ‘Nizogcwala’ is a rich culture-clash inspired by hip-hop and electronica, mixed with unique Zulu vocal flavours. The video is just as tasty as the beat: a blistering and hypnotic visual feast that captures all the energy of the track.
Muzi describes its fusion of styles: “We have Western influences but we’re still inspired by our traditions and culture as well. Two worlds have met and both play an important role. I hope this video and my music gets that message across.”
Currently relocating to one of the strongholds of electronic music, Berlin, and recently signed to BMG Chrysalis in London, Muzi is ready to bring his unmistakable sound to Europe and beyond. His debut UK tour is set for early September, and if you’re hungry for more of his bass-heavy productions after hearing ‘Nizogcwala’, then stay tuned over the summer as he’ll be releasing a series of free downloads on WE.THE.BUNDU.
