South Africa's rap / techno upstart, Spoek Mathambo (one half of fashion electro hip-hop duo Sweat.X ), who has Modeselektor and Apparat somewhere in his CV and counts Malmo in Sweden as his second home, has got his third new single out. Don't Mean To Be Rude is from his debut album, Mshini Wam (loosely translated as " My Machine Gun "). Staying true to his "afro-futurist" perspective, the track blooms in flavorsome african riddim and folk percussions and yet at the same time contrasts sharply with his potty [...]

Other remixes of the single comes [...]
