Uwami (LP)
DJ Black Low
Amoeba Review
South Africa's DJ Black Low (Sam Austin Radebe) makes his debut with Uwami, a solid set of amapiano -- that region's own hybrid of House, jazz and traditional music. Warped beats stretched taut with layers of ticking percussion and melodic grooves are present throughout. "Downfall Revisit," one of four tracks here with no guest artist, features an intriguingly simple keyboard line surrounded by echoing, distorting effects. "Emonate Oe Bethela D Vosho" builds a slightly ominous soundscape behind stuttering beats, repetitive synth chords and emphatic vocals.
