Limited twelve inch vinyl pressing of this 2014 EP including digital download. Fantasma, the latest project of South African innovator and creative pioneer Spoek Mathambo, is a five-man collective which weaves together electronica, hip-hop, traditional Zulu maskandi music, shangaan electro, South African house, psych-rock and punk to form a unique, original and fresh hybrid. The godfather of 'Bacardi House', producer DJ Spoko joins with former Machineri guitarist Andre Geld- enhuys, drummer Michael Buchanan and maskandi multi-instrumentalist Bhekisenzo Cele to complete the lineup. Fused by Spoek Mathambo's futurist vision, Fantasma pulls inspiration from all corners of South Africa: The sounds and spirits of townships and cities as well as the rural countryside. It is diverse not only in it's membership but also in it's forward-looking music.
