Hungover sunday. But thanks to the good folks over at Curb Crawlers it just got much better. Here’s the L-Vis dub (vocal version featuring Leif to drop shortly) of that infectious track “Township Funk” by South African producer DJ Mujava. One of the best tracks so far this year and it will be released by Warp Records tomorrow.

Here’s the blurb from the Curb Crawlers crew:

“Arguably, “Township Funk” was one of the biggest anthems of the season (despite being over a year old). L-Vis 1990 strip down the Kwaito riddim to the bare basics, up the subs and transform the original’s tropical vibe into a moody and melancholy attitude.”

The DJ Mujava Kwaitodance number “Township Funk” was featured on Sindens “We Make It Good vol.3″ mix and although it might be a bit old in mp3blog time it’s still banging and it’s been the talk of Grindin this week.

“Township Funk” is tough, dark, African dance music from the industrial city of Pretoria, South Africa. It’s perhaps the most infectious dance record you’ll hear this year, echoing the early Warp sound of LFO or the Forgemasters in an uncanny way, almost 20 years on, across continents. Is South Africa the new hip place for electronic music? Maybe…but we certainly hope that South African house will go worldwide with this track.”

“Township Funk” will be released on Warp Records on 12″ on September 15th worldwide (excluding UK where This Is Music will be in charge) and available from all good digital outlets August 11th.
