You might not instantly recognize the name Richard “Nozinja” Mthetwa, but he’s the driving force behind the unshakable Shangaan Electro sound.
Now Nozinja is set to bring his bizarre fusion to London’s KOKO and on May 4 he’ll be bringing a slice of Afro Futurism to dear old Blighty. He won’t be alone either – also poised to appear is The Bug, and he will be presenting a full live set, which if you haven’t managed to see yet is pretty damned essential, providing you’re into searing loud wails, machine-gun beats and throaty toasting, that is.
Rounding off the bill will be a performance from Buraka Son Sistema’s Branko (the artist formerly known as J-Wow), Gallic beatmaker dEbruit, and newcomer Turtle.
