#7 Feat. Staff Picks in Afro House

South Africas Atmos Blaq returns to Stay True Sounds with Skhaftin Saka Fonque, an immersive dose of 3-Step. An artist who has been championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, Mr. Scruff and Benji B, Atmos Blaqs latest release follows Mfani Wana Dobsi on Stay True Sounds, plus his remix of Fish Go Deeps Cure & The Cause on Defected. Skhaftin Saka Fonque translates to Kid Fonques lunchbox, written during Atmos Blaqs visit to the UK as he spent time with label boss Kid Fonque at Defected HQ; as the SA producers trademark synthwork comes to the fore, percussive polyrhythms build and disperse in ecstasy to leave a lasting impression.
