Muzi is ready to drop fire
Other | Monday 16th November 2015 | Christina
South Africa’s hottest young DJ/producer, Muzi, is ready to explode back onto the music scene with his blistering new Fire FX EP, set to drop on 4th December.
Muzi’s hotly anticipated 6-track release features his trademark eclectic mix of hip-hop and electronica, all the while paying homage to his South African roots in the Empangeni township. Acknowledging that the violence he experienced growing up has proved to be a major influence on his work, Muzi explains that “The hardness of the sound is probably because I come from a very bad background. People used to tell me my music was very violent. Maybe that is true because that's what I grew up seeing. But the energy of it is happy and positive. I'll never take you to a dark place with my music, because I know how that feels.”
Muzi’s ever-growing reputation led to a hugely successful summer for the producer: in addition to two DJ sets at Bestival, he also co-hosted Nando’s Music Exchange at the Roundhouse in London alongside chart-topping UK rapper Example, Reeps One and grime sensation Stormzy, with whom Muzi recently travelled to his native country for a feature with Noisey and Nandos.
