LISTEN: Fantasma – Sefty Belt

First track from collective featuring Spoek Mathambo and DJ Spoko

Rapper and producer Spoek Mathambo has joined forces with DJ Spoko, André Heldenhuys, Michael Buchanan and Bhekisenzo Cele for a new group, Fantasma. The members meld disparate sonic approaches – alongside Mathambo’s own township-tech sound, there’s Spoko’s Bacardi house and Cele’s Zulu maskandi background – making for something their label Soundway says "pulls inspiration from all corners of South Africa: the sounds and spirits of townships and cities as well as the rural countryside".

We’re excited to host a first taste of their upcoming debut EP, Eye Of The Sun out on November 3, in the shape of ‘Sefty Belt’, featuring vocals from JOSIAHWISE IS THE SERPENTWITHFEET. Take a listen to that above, watch a video explaining how the band came together below and pre-order over at Soundway’s website.
