Can turn naughty
culoe de song exploded in south africa around 2009/10
was at a club in 2010 called la reference in cape town one night and they were playing this kind of shit. was an old 60s disco. all walls covered in mirrors. everyone was dancing as if they were choreographed. the same moves all in sync. like a music video. powerful stuff. heady, hypnotic loops interspersed with the bittersweet.
south africa's house scene was something else. the main distribution hubs were the taxi ranks. people swapping usb sticks. new tracks coming out every week. healthy competition. the 'taxis' were actually communal minibuses going on set routes, so people would be on their way to work or into town to do a bit of shopping with the deepest house music getting blasted out the custom sound systems. house is to south africa what hiphop is to america. maybe even more integral. the ancestral shit right there on display.
