Pretorian Beeps


Bleepy dance music from South Africa. This guy has been making music for a while but is only now getting released outside of his home nation. Township Funk is out on Warp on the 15th September. According to Last.fm he got his break through when cab drivers discovered his music and began playing it to the people they picked up and selling them his cds. The music is simple patterns layered upon each other to create much more than the some of the parts. Pounding drums form the basis of most of his tracks with dark bassy synth lines over the top, then you get beeps and squeaks and occasionally vocals. Its all very rhythmic and kinda mesmerizing, have a listen.
