Sounding like DJ Gregory’s marching band heading through the back alleys of Brazil’s favelas, Township Funk is the master work of one South African, Mujava - real name Elvis Maswanganyi, a twenty something hailing from a Pretorian township called Attredgeville.

It’s a wicked track with a dark tough core, and has been storming the underground in Pretoria via cab drivers who have taxied it across South Africa’s urban townships. TOWNSHIP FUNK is insiduous; it gets inside your gut with it’s relentless driving bass, and moves you to the floor with it’s undulating top line.

Names like Erol Alkan, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, Kiss FM’s Sinden and, most notably, Trevor Jackson have given this TOWNSHIP FUNK a word up. And finally, thank god, THIS IS MUSIC Ltd (home to Simian Mobile Disco, A-Trak, Frankmusik, Little Boots and current grindcore electro idol Fake Blood amongst others) and Warp are unleashing this beast unto the masses digitally this week – go get on it at:
