Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 23 Jun 11 - T1707334776

Shangaan Electro

Work:: Shangaan Electro (S7632819)

Production:: (T1707334776)

Shangaan Electro is the street level dance phenomenon from South Africa that went global in 2010 on the back of a series of viral YouTube clips (2 million hits and counting) and an acclaimed compilation on Honest Jon's that introduced the movers and shakers in this fast emerging micro-genre. This new style replaces Shangaan music's traditional instrumentation with midi-keyboard sounds, re-pitched vocal samples and jacking four to the floor beats, then amps things up to breakneck speeds of over 180BPM. This is hyper-kinetic digital dance music custom made for weekly dance offs in Soweto, and it's getting ever faster...
