Ninja: Here in South Africa the taxis play rave music fokken loud my bru. You can hear it from the next city when the taxi comes through, you hear DOOM DOOM DOOM—they gooi the rap-rave megamixes pumping like a nightclub. So my main inspiration is the taxis. The whole album is based on the sound it’s gonna make when it’s pumping through a taxi—It’s that high energy shit you can’t compare.
I don’t really have much to say about these guys except they sound like Dutch-style rap-rave a la De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig with a kind of Afrikaaner chip on their shoulder.
It's also a list of magazines, journals and other printed paraphernalia that I would love to someday hold in my hands. Maybe you could help me out. Email me at aaron (dot) leaf (at) gmail (dot) com.
Q: Are you aware that Africa is a large continent with thousands of cultures and shouldn't be portrayed as some singular entity.
A: Yes, I am.
Q: Do you speak any other African language other than English?
