Premiere: Fantasma - Eye Of The Sun
Fantasma are a supergroup from South Africa featuring a few artists that you might know for their solo work: leader of the pack is Spoek Mathambo, but there's also DJ Spoko (pioneer of 'Bacardi House', who just released his album 'War God' through Lit City Trax), guitarist André Geldenhuys, drummer Michael Buchanan, and maskandi multi-instrumentist Bhekisenzo Cele.
Their debut EP is a diverse listen that brings together a lot of different South African styles, and title track Eye Of The Sun crystalises that eclectic energy in one track, a psychedelic rock song that also carries elements of Shangaan Electro.
You can catch Fantasma in the UK soon – they'll play The 100 Club in London on November 18th, where Spoek will also be screening the UK debut of his documentary Future Sounds of Mzansi.
Soundway Records release the 'Eye Of The Sun' EP on November 10th (pre-order).
