To celebrate 10 years since the release of my debut album, Mshin Wam, and
finally free of the god awful deal that I ignorantly signed to release it, I am
rereleasing Mshini Wam in a deluxe package complete with a slew of remixes from
Batida (DJ Mpula), DJ Rashad (RIP), Giovanni Marks (Subtitle), BBQ and many
more.

The title of his album â€œMshini Wamâ€ is taken from a famous South
African song with lyrics in Zulu called â€œUmshini Wamiâ€, what means
â€œMy Machineâ€ in English. It is popular amongst members of the
military wing of the ANC â€“ in their version it means bring me my machine
gun.
Spoek Mathambo wants to give it a new connotation: for him â€œMshini
Wamâ€ means â€œMy Machineâ€¦ a way to express a new wave of
electronic African musicâ€.

Control â€“ a darkwave township house cover of the Joy Division classic
Shes Lost Control â€“ is the fourth single to be taken from South African
producer/DJ Spoek Mathambos latest album, Mshini Wam. With an eerily distorted
vocal and one of those wamp wamp basslines, Control maintains the originals
ability to make you want to dance while fully aware that the song itself is best
accompanied by a dark depression. The incredible video â€“ premiered on
Dazed Digital â€“ was shot in Langa, Cape Town and is directed by respected
photographer Pieter Hugo, who used a cast made up mainly of kids from the local
dance troupe, Happy Feet.
