kaini Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) there's a thread in the afx subforum, but this music is so good it deserves more exposure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yzslfWjVk&feature=player_embedded the track that initially made me go 'woooah' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXE6_j1N7o8 this is also great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocgbLkayfTE&feature=player_embedded this is the vid that sparked the thread in the afx subforum. and indeed it is kinda afxy article: http://extramusicnew.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/shangaan-electro-new-wave-dance-music-from-south-africa-honest-jons-records-videos-and-mp3-samples/ edit: hmmm seems mark ernestus from basic channel is partially responsible for breaking this stuff outside africa Edited September 22, 2010 by kaini Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide kaini's signature Hide all signatures On 5/7/2013 at 11:06 PM, ambermonk said: I know IDM can be extreme On 6/3/2017 at 11:50 PM, ladalaika said: this sounds like an airplane landing on a minefield Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/59901-shangaan-electro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theSun Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 i've wanted a marimba forever now, this just makes me want one more. i like this shit, it does get a little repetitive and i'd like to see the songs go some place, but it's a refreshing change from most pop shit out now Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/59901-shangaan-electro/#findComment-1420977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) i saw konono no. 1 live a couple of years back, and they were incredible shit hot; i danced my ass off. they have a slightly different sound, but a similar DIY ethic to this stuff. also recommended is toumani diabate - although his stuff isn't electronic, the rhythms are definitely similar.

kaini Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) i posted it in general banter because the afx forum is full of weirdos so some people never go there. also it has nothing to do with aphex twin. if i was a mod i would have moved it instead.
