Back in 2010, the tireless London shop/label Honest Jon’s revealed a collection of extremely fast-paced dance tunes from South Africa on a buzzed-about compilation entitled Shangaan Electro (artwork above). Following its release, the imprint then commissioned reworks of these exotic electro cuts from the likes of Actress, Anthony “Shake” Shakir, Demdike Stare, and more, issuing the results on a number of 12″s. Now, Honest Jon’s has taken the next logical step, compiling all those reworks onto one LP, Shangaan Shake. Along with the aforementioned producers, the likes of Hype Williams, Theo Parrish, Peverelist, and juke dons DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn were tapped to find a pathway between their own styles and the blitzing sounds of Shangaan Electro. You’ll find the artwork and tracklist for the collection—which will see a release on March 13—below, along with a stream of Anthony Shakir’s contribution.
