Nozinja Music has released a compilation called Shangaan Electro: New Wave Dance Music From South Africa. Shangaan is a new dance music style emerging from the townships of South Africa. Blazingly fast drum machines, soulful repetetive singing, and emotional chord progressions lend this entire comp an pulsing beauty. At first these songs will sound impossibly fast and giggly, but with repeated listens the effect becomes very romantic, evoking the ambient two step of UK producer Burial. This compilation is a wonderful profile in an exciting new music, stick with it and it will stick with you.
