Samthing Soweto - Thanda Wena
Samthing Soweto - Thanda Wena
Sounds like: Felix Laband, Spoek Mathambo, Petite Noir
By Dylan Heneck on Nov 28, 2016 | This song is like a handshake to the soul. Not one of those overly firm ones either. Nor is it one of those droopy meager shakes. This is a perfectly baked shake without any palm sweat. I had to sit down for the closing half of this track, and it wa... read more →

Jumping Back Slash - Cut The Head Off The Snake
Sounds like: Spoek Mathambo, Maramza, Okmalumkoolkat
By Dylan Heneck on May 8, 2015 | "// UP FOR A LITTLE BIT XX //" reads the SoundCloud description for this track. I think maybe if we all petition, we can get it to stay up forever, but probably not. I mean, if you know JBS, then you'll know that he's pretty straight up about things... read more →

Okmalumkoolkat - Internet Jetset Zuper
Sounds like: Jumping Back Slash, Spoek Mathambo
