Kamazu & Esa have produced a future classic that is out in September on Esa’s own AWEH music and is entitled Shukuma. London based South African, Esa Williams, continues his evolution of his homeland’s music – this time reviving Kamazu and his kwaito brilliance – on an original EP out in September.

Title track Shukuma, blends future-kwaito-inspired elements with acid house and pays homage to the electronic South African genre of the late 80s and early 90s and its profound connection to Chicago house music.

The release boasts another future kwaito classic, Muntu, that also showcases innovative contributions from Potugal-based produced Dirty Bungalow – and has been featured in the esteemed podcast series, The Invisible Hand:
