Serokolo 7
Mapanta producer and sound-system DJ from Limpopo
From South Africa
Fast Mapanta cuts with deep kicks, sub pressure, marimba, animal samples and chopped vocal lines. The set sits between wedding-yard celebration and hard-riding club music, with drum & bass and breakbeat momentum pushing the traditional material forward.
