ElectronicaThe Electric MELT adventure into melting world music with electronic beats started with the 1996 release of the epic album Music With No Name Vol.1 featuring remixes by Smith & Mighty and Spring Heel Jack. Inspired by the remix pioneers of the Northern hemisphere young South African producers started KWAITO first and then evolved into Deep House which by 2008 became No.1 seller with rising international star Black Coffee, a forming member of the early S.H.A.N.A. Group. After Busi Mhlongo lost her fight against breast cancer the nation's young artist queued to remix her work following a trail of earlier Busi remixes by Soul II Black, Monde Mkhizwana, Castro B and Black Coffee riding the airwaves in South Africa. Other successful local SA artist in the Electronica section include Moses Taiwa Molelekwa, Kalahari Surfers and Pops Mohamed. The hip-hop, trip-hop sector is represented by LA outfit Eyedentity. |
