Unknown Pleasures - Kwaito House
By Lady Foursquare | August 13, 2008
You’re going to hear a lot more about Kwaito in the near future from Noise Floor Crew and other labels such as Warp (who are, as we speak releasing the first maore Kwaito record for the European/American market). I’ll talk more about Kwaito later but here is an example of the exciting new sound (and dance craze!) coming out of Soweto in South Africa. Only now is the whitelabel for DJ Mujava’s first single hitting the streets.
I would like to go on the record as wagering that Kwaito elements are becoming the foundation of a movement on the international scale of dubstep or baile funk. This will not remain local for long. But what do I know?
Here is one of my favorites from Mujava, “Please Mugwanti.”

It’s not an entirely new sound, it’s been around almost 2 decades now and as I understand it SAns consider Kwaito as a bit passé.. However this I guess would simply be called House.. (at least it goes an hell lot faster than the 90’s 110BPM Kwaito grooves)
But a wicked track it is! Also check out DJ Cleo’s “Gabs 2 Mbabane”
