Toxicated Keys

Hailing from the township of Mamelodi East, in Pretoria, Phadishi Mokwele and Thabang Makhafola are two very young music producers (20 and 21). These last years, they’ve been building a new style of Amapiano with their friends GemValleyMusiQ. They call their sound Rough Amapiano, their own take on the now hugely successful Amapiano South-African genre. Rough Amapiano drops the the soulful vibe and warm synths of classic Amapiano to make room to harder, sometimes unpredictable and arhythmic drum patterns, and percussive, toxic-sounding basslines. It's coming from the future, and this is now out on PSSNGR, a new label dedicated to emerging African electronic.
