On Volume 1 of Next Stop... Soweto, we focused on traditional South African music. The second volume treads into the fusion of these sounds with western funk, soul, psych & more. Below, find a track from the powerhouse group Mahotella Queens (whose sublime "Zway Kumusha" is one of the highlights of Volume 1), who according to the album's liner notes, were pressured into a more contemporary direction by their label. Not ones to bend over easily though, the track (the title of which translates to "Come On, Hippies") calls out South African youth for leaving behind the values of their parents. What's more timeless than letting the young whippersnappers have a piece of your mind? And over a track like this, we certainly can't complain. Volume 2 of Next Stop... Soweto is out May 11th.

The Mahotella Queens- Wozani Mahipi by Strut

It's been a long time coming, but we're quite happy with the results! On the first video from Breakestra's Dusk Till Dawn album, Miles Tackett, Mixmaster Wolf and vocalist Afrodyete lead the funk outfit through their bumping soul burner as a young lady walks the streets of Los Angeles with a portable turntable in her hand. Fresh off of performing at this year's SXSW, you can also check for a 2 page feature on Breakestra in the current issue of Wax Poetics. Dusk Till Dawn, a tribute to the late DJ Dusk, is in stores now.
