The first instalment in the series features two reworkings of South African pianist Bokani Dyer’s Ke Nako (feat. Sereetsi & The Natives) and is out 9th August 2024 via Brownswood Recordings.

 

Side 1 features Kid Fonque’s hypnotic and stretched-out house refix of Dyer’s scintillating funk track. He stretches Ke Nako into a 10- minute epic cosmic dance floor journey that perfectly manages to trace a line between the South African electronic sounds dominating the globe and the nation’s Jazz underground, bubbling below the surface.

 

The flip sees another South African artist take the reins. Ntokzin is one of the producers and DJs spearheading the rise of Amapiano in his home country and his track reimagines Ke Nako in typical fashion.The original’s soulful chords and soaring vocals are taken to new heights by a bedrock of propulsive percussion and thick, wriggly bass lines. Ntokzin shifts these elements around, letting them rise and fall; tension and release. A well-crafted sunshine banger, perfect for a summer dancefloor.
