Umlilo means fire in Zulu, and this mix takes us back to the Dirty South for a scorching ride through raw township sound. Exchanging smooth for ruff, Umlilo focuses on the connection between ghetto Rap and current Electro, between modern SA House and its Kwaito roots.

Futurism in Africa never disconnected at all from the body: sound design does not become a solipsistic end in itself (even though every timber and texture is perfection itslef); song form stays 100% intact in the electronic club music format; and the beats never bang on aimless and without purpose — robust machine groove reinterprets but absolutely incarnates the magic and essence of timeless rhythmic tradition.

Come on mosquito, lets go!

ok would just like to ask 2 questions regarding the first tune, without expecting answers:

1. what kind of church drops sick bass like this?? (sign me up NOW) and
2. just who or WTF is “mosquito”?! (i doubt a single person in the world knows besides this drunk-Louis-Armstrong sounding MC)
