Pitchfork may be treating Shangaan Electro like it’s some new discovery (and to be fair, it is for them) but there are those of us that have caught taxis to Diepsloot just to get caught up in the craziness. They are spot on however by saying “part of what makes Shangaan Electro so interesting is the way it seems to laugh away the notion of context altogether, or at least rush right past it.” My favourite party trick is to play as many of the tracks on the new Shangaan Electro compilation without going complexly insane. Hat Tip to Pitchfork for letting us know about an awesome compilation of South African music that we didn’t know existed.
