Along with Slikback, Sho Madjozi, and Phatstoki, MCZO & Duke represent the bleeding creative edge of Africa’s new wave of club performers. The duo hail from Dar Es Salaam, where singeli is emerging. Singeli is based on Bongo Flava beats, a popular style in Tanzania, sped up and given added power through laptop production. The style became popular thanks to Nyege Nyege Tapes’ compilation Sounds Of Sisso, which Boomkat described “a volley of hi-velocity missiles sounding like nothing else but in our minds comparable with full on Soca or Shangaan Electro styles as much as Northern British takes on happy hardcore and Makina.”
