Shangaan Electro: New Wave Dance Music From South Africa

Compiled by Richard Ndlovu, this wildly energetic release brought international attention to the hyper-fast, incredibly buoyant electronic dance music originating from the Limpopo province. Replacing traditional instrumentation with MIDI keyboards and incredibly rapid, pitched-up marimba presets, the tracks trigger a frantic, joyous, and unmistakably modern evolution of South African folk styles. It became a beloved, high-BPM sensation among global club DJs.
