a lot of old grime and dubstep is basically kids figuring out how to work software. just listen to tings in boots or something

nothing wrong with fl nowadays.

rwtp sounds incredibly "fruity" by the way.

Not really.
You get so many variants.

The percussive rhythms all follow a similar vein.
It's all kwaito house in the end.

This just has a tiny bit more emphasis on the sub drive.
Most club kwaito is lacking the sub and focuses more on the top end which can be terrible.
Occasionally you here this sort of vibe in cars or taxis and you have to go ask the guy what it is because it's almost impossible to find.
I walked into a cd store to dig a bit for random stuff and they put on a mix from some local guy just putting out club beats.
Some seriously good tunes, sub heavy, boody shakin business.

I know Kode 9 & LV feel this sound,(I think one of the LV guys are from our side)

Kode 9 played around this stuff too ,(got into it while down here the few times)







Then some new local kids mashing a grimier sound with it, also get some interest internationally

Soundcloud

Then this guy, sick producer, South African living between London & cape town, got some 12"s singed and pretty mad releases.

He pretty much get all those tunes from the kids and actually takes their music to the next level

That Sebenza tune is fire man.

Had LV/Okmalumkoolkat on repeat when touring through SA. Felt so gangster (until I pulled up to a red light and shat my pants)

I also can't stand a lot of old dubstep and grime :)
It has nothing to do with FL itself though.

LV stuff is different, plus it's mixed proper.

Joburg didn't seem overly quite. Especially when you're lost
