Loren's Pick: "Want Ur Love", Spoek Mathabo

Spoek Mathabo sent me down the rabbit hole. He is a South African artist, producer, rapper who has coined his sound, "Township Tech". His fifth album, Mzansi Beat Code just dropped and Want Ur Love is the lead track. NPR's Piotr Orlov did a great indepth piece you can read here. Mathabeo is also part of the Pan-African creative collective Batukfounded by South African electronic music producers Aero Manyelo, Spoek Mathambo, Nandi Ndlovu and poet Carla Fonseca. And this is where I fell and am still chasing the rabbit. The collaborations are endless and Batuk's sound is unique, fierce and energizing. I want to make a flow chart, I want to listen for hours, I want to be in a dark room dancing, with a few red lights hanging and the sweat rolling off my back. Okay I just realized I was brainwashed listening to Força Força. Transport me there.
