FKA Mash

South African producer and DJ Fka Mash has been laying a solid footprint both in his hometown of Soweto and across the globe since putting out his debut release in 2011. The one to watch in house scenes with a penchant for the perfect remix, he’s received nods from, and released and shared stages with, notable names such as Black Coffee, Kid Fonque, Jullian Gomes and Vinny Da Vinci, as well as Jimpster, Lars Behrenroth and Sébastien Léger to name just a few. His latest release, 'Love Songs from Soweto' is a far cry from his signature four-the-the-floor creations, resurrecting the same creative energies that white supremacy once tried to snuff out. Taking inspiration from kwaito and mbaqanga, as well as their revolutionary origins in kwela and marabi, it pays homage to South Africa’s goldmine of musical styles created by Black pioneers. Since the closure of South Africa’s dancefloors, Mash seized the opportunity to give the world a taste of what his heritage is built on. 'Love Songs' is a triumphant, nostalgic memory-maker for a South Africa that is constantly redefining its cultural heritage — while bringing the rest of the world up to speed on just how nimble our producers really can be.
