South African producer DJ Spoko's been fermenting his own "bacardi house" production style for years now, honing his engineering skills under shangaan electro mastermind Nozinja and, most famously, helping craft the drum pattern behind DJ Mujava's massive hit "Township Funk." He's now readying the release of his Ghost Town EP from indie boutique label True Panther. Watch a video for Spoko's jolting percussion-heavy "Cucumba" below and check out his previously featured remix of Sun Airway and Grave Mix.
